The equivalent tube calculation is performed on the pipeline by the equal stress intensity factor of the pipe el-bow,the equal bending stiffness of the pipe and the equal mass of the pipe.The CAESAR 11 2014 pipeline analysis soft-ware was used for simulation calculations to verify the feasibility of the equivalent tube calculation.Through calculation,the deviation between the equivalent tube and the actual tube stress calculation is less than 3%.The equivalent tube fully meets the engineering application.
