Importance of Bourdon Effect. True and Effective Axial Force

Traditionally, the impact of the bourdon effect is not considered for steel piping systems as the effect is negligible. However, with an increase in pressure and pipe length, specifically for long pipeline systems this effect is considerable and must be used in the analysis to avoid pipe deformations, high stresses and buckling. At the same time for analyzing plastic piping systems like PE, HDPE, GRE, FRP, GRP systems, the bourdon effect must be considered.
