Load per Meter Length of Pipe Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Load on Buried Pipe per Unit Length = Coefficient Dependent on Soil in Environmental*Unit Weight of Fill*(Width of Trench)^2
w^' = C_s*Y_F*(B)^2
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Load on Buried Pipe per Unit Length - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Load on Buried Pipe per Unit Length includes the weight of the pipe, ﬁttings, insulation, ﬂuid in pipe, piping components such as valves, valve operators, ﬂanges, and so on.
Coefficient Dependent on Soil in Environmental - Coefficient Dependent on Soil in Environmental is the ratio of depth to width of trench.
Unit Weight of Fill - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Fill is the weight per unit volume of a material.
Width of Trench - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Trench is the smaller dimension of the trench.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient Dependent on Soil in Environmental: 1.33 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Fill: 2000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 2000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Width of Trench: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w^' = C_s*Y_F*(B)^2 --> 1.33*2000*(3)^2

Evaluating ... ...

w^' = 23940

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

23940 Newton per Meter -->23.94 Kilonewton per Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

23.94 Kilonewton per Meter <-- Load on Buried Pipe per Unit Length

What is Mass Per Unit Length?

The Mass per Unit Length is the linear density of a one-dimensional substance such as a wire or thread. Some of these are defined reciprocally in terms of the length of thread needed for a given weight (see specific weight).

How to Calculate Load per Meter Length of Pipe?

Load per Meter Length of Pipe calculator uses Load on Buried Pipe per Unit Length = Coefficient Dependent on Soil in Environmental*Unit Weight of Fill*(Width of Trench)^2 to calculate the Load on Buried Pipe per Unit Length, The Load per Meter Length of Pipe formula is defined as the value of the amount of force or weight exerted on a pipe per unit length. By knowing the load per meter, we can calculate the stress distribution along the length of the pipe. This is critical for ensuring that stress levels remain within safe limits to prevent failures such as buckling or bursting. Load on Buried Pipe per Unit Length is denoted by w^' symbol.
