Pipe Thickness Calculation As Per ASME B31.3
Pipe Thickness Calculation As Per ASME B31.3
Input Values
1. Pipe Material of Construction = ASTM A106 Grade B
2. Design Pressure (Mpa) = 1.2
3. Design Temperature (Deg. F) = 122
4. Pipe Outside Diameter (MM) =
5. Allowable Stress From Table A-1 (Ksi) = 20
6. Allowable Stress (Mpa)= 137.8
7. E : quality factor from Table A-1A or A-1B = 1
8. Y : coefficient from Table 304.1.1 = 0.4
9. W : weld joint strength reduction factor per para. 302.3.5(e) = 1
Calculated Results
Addition of Allowances
Calculated Design Wall Thickness should be added with Corrosion Allowance,
Mechanical Allowance for Grooving, Threading etc and Manufacturing Tolerance to
arrive at final value. Next higher standard thickness value from Pipe Standards such as
ASME B36.10 and ASME B36.19 is used.
