| Archimedes Principle and Slipline Pipe
Fills |
| To Determine Maximum Elastizell Density |
|
|
| The
purpose of this program is to determine the maximum density of Elastizell
allowed to prevent |
|
| a sliplined pipe from floating. |

| Weight of
medium displaced = Weight of object floating in medium |
|
|
|
| Therefore,
in order for the pipe to stay submerged: |
|
|
|
|
| Weight of
Elastizell displaced<Weight of
pipe in Elastizell |

| Please enter
the following information specific to the job: |
|
|
| Enter the
Inside Radius (IR) in feet: |
|
|
|
| Enter the
Outside Radius (OR) in feet: |
|
|
| Enter % of
inner pipe filled with water: |
|
|
| Enter wt of
inner pipe in pounds per linear foot |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| For pipe to
stay submerged, density of Elastizell must be less than the density of the
internal pipe. |
|
|
| Density
of internal pipe = weight of internal pipe/volume of internal pipe |
|
|
|
Weight of internal pipe = weight of
actual pipe+water weight |
|
|
Weight of actual pipe = wt/linear
ft.*length of pipe |
|
|
lbs./ft. |
|
|
weight of water = Density x volume =
62.4 pcf*pi*IR^2*percentage of pipe filled |
#VALUE! |
lbs/ft. |
|
|
Volume of pipe=pi*OR^2*l |
#VALUE! |
cubic feet (for 1ft. length) |
|
|
| Therefore, in order
for pipe to stay submerged: |
|
|
Density of Elastizell < Density
of internal pipe |
|
|
Density of Elastizell <
((Wp+(Dw)*(%f)*(pi)*(IR^2))/((pi)*(OR^2)) |
|
|
|
Density of Elastizell
must be less than or equal to: |
#VALUE! |
