Hi all and thanks for the great replies,
I'm supposed to verify stiffness, strength and stability of a
existent facility on a local petrochemical industry.
The design pressure is 40000 psi (2800 bar) and the design
temperature is 374°F (190°C).
According to the process engineer this pipeline connects two
reactors and a Heat Exchanger that perform mechanicly the union of
the product molecules.
Regards,
Carlos Eduardo
