In cases where reaction forces have to be considered it is usual to demonstrate that the section modulus of the valve end is greater than the section modulus of the pipe, taking into account the valve and pipe material strengths. I.e. the pipe is weaker than the valve. Question BVAMA 6/A BVAMA PED Forum 28th March 2001 Question related to : Annex I, section 3.2.2.
