= internal design gage pressure, psi

= outside diameter of pipe, inch
= stress value of material, psi
= quality factor
= coefficient-Y
= sum of allowances, inch
= pressure design thickness, inch
= minimum required thickness (t + c), inch
= pipe wall thickness plus mill tolerance
= pipe nominal thickness
