There are two types of Pressure Thrust that can act on a piping or pipeline system. they are: 1. Static Pressure thrust, and 2. Dynamic Pressure thrust. The normal pressure thrust that occurs in a pipe whenever i… See more

In a welded pipework, the pressure thrust does not pose any concern as the static tensile force that acts on the directional changes increases the length of the piping/pipeline system slightly. For piping systems, th… See more

The pressure thrust in a bellow is the force created by pressure acting on the bellow. Bellows pressure thrust is one of the important parameters that must be considered during the design phase. If the pressure th… See more

When an unrestrained bellows expansion joint is used in a pipe connected to an equipment nozzle, there is a pressure thrust load acting on the nozzle. That pressure thrust force on the nozzle can be calculated … See more
