Abstract
This paper has been prepared as a vehicle for discussion of the following basic problems, on which agreement must be reached to establish a satisfactory working-stress basis for pipe lines:
1 Proper allowable stresses for combined pressure and expansion effects.
2 Influence of and limits for localized stresses under static and repeated loading.
3 Capacity of bolted joints to withstand expansion effects without leakage or damage to flanges, bolts, or gaskets.
4 Effect of prespringing, self-springing, creep, and yielding on operating and off-stream stresses.
An attempt has been made to point out various aspects of each issue, rather than limit the presentation to the personal views of the authors.
