Dear robert,
These information are from the mechanical piping systems general catalog( victaulic company of America) that I think they are good information. style 07 zero-flex(standard rigid coupling)
16"(nominal pipe D) max. end load(60320 lbs) Allow. pipe end sep.(0.125 in)
style 77 standard flexible coupling
16"(nominal pipe D) max. end load(60320 lbs) Allow. pipe end
sep.(0.25in)
max. end load is total, from all internal and external loads.
allowable pipe end seperation and deflection figures the maximum nominal range
of movement available at each jiont for standard cut grooved pipe.figures for
standart roll grooved pipe will be one-half of these values.
cheers

I have a 16" std cs pump discharge line run vertically. There are two victaulic couplings on this line and no any support between these two couplings. So my concern is:
Is this design safe? Would the upper coupling (Which carry most of the weight of pipe and fluid inside) fail?
is there anywhere I can get the information about how much weight the coupling can carry? I've checked the victaulic website and their catalog, found nothing.
So should anyone has experience on this issue give me some help?
thanks
