Tensile Strength:
• A materials ability to resist tensile stress
Barlow’s formula: P = 2St/D
Tells us that the Tensile Stress (which is also called the Hoop Stress) on
the pipe = Pressure x Outside Diameter / 2 x Thickness, i.e. S = PD/(2t)
SO,
• Pipe used for projects regulated under Part 192 must be a listed
specification in 192.7
192.105 Design Formula for Steel Pipe
P = (2St/D) x F x E x T
P = (2St/D) x F x E x T
P = 2 x 42,000 x 0.250 / 12.75 x 0.50 x 1.00 x 1.00
P = 823.53 psig←
What wall thickness do I need for a 20”, API 5L X-52, ERW, Class 1 road
crossing if I want a 1000 psig MAOP?
X-42/X-46
Grade B/X-42/X-46
X-42/X-52
X-60/X-65
X-60/X-65/X-70
NOTE: 812 psig of internal pressure will create 50% SMYS for 16” API
5L X-52, 0.250w pipe regardless of class location, seam type, or
temperature.
Steel Pipe Test Question #4
Is 12”, API 5L GR B, 0.250w, ERW pipe suitable for a 300 psig MAOP
Class 3 distribution pipeline?
Steel Pipe Test Question #4
Is 12”, API 5L GR B, 0.250w, ERW pipe suitable for a 300 psig MAOP
Class 3 distribution pipeline?
This pipe is suitable for a Class 3 design but is NOT suitable for a
distribution pipeline since it would exceed 20% SMYS at 300 psig
(causing it to be a transmission line)
