what is anchor flange?

[gaopan1989]

An anchor flange is a forged fitting used to prevent axial movement of a pipeline. It is normally cast in to a concrete foundation or drag anchor to limit/prevent pipe movement. Normally these are butt-welded into the pipeline and form part of the pipeline. They are specifically designed for the calculated pipeline loads.

Thank you very much!

I am trying to design a PLET(Pipeline End Termination).I want to use an anchor flange to fix the piping.

How do I design the anchor flange(based on the calculated pipeline loads)?

I recommend you without doubt, use a program of finite element calculation. FEPipe For me, the better.

If you do not have this program or any other finite elements, I recommend to you a manual calculation, with Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain.

I include a standard support for your guide in the design :

For 2" to 8" :
