In the article, the mode of deformation of pipes of the main oil line at change of productivity of transfer by turning on (off) the main pumps is considered. Analytical dependencies between the greatest additional tensions in pipe walls and parameters of rapid change of pressure inside of the oil pipeline, geometrical specifications of the pipe and mechanical properties of metal were obtained. Analytical dependencies were obtained for sections of connection of pipes with equal and varying wall thickness, for connection of pipes with equipment with higher deformation rigidity. It is shown that additional tension in some cases reaches the scales representing danger to integrity of pipes and reliability of operation of the main oil pipeline. The need to develop measures to decrease high tensions is indicated.
