ASME 8316-1991 Part 2 PART 2 DETERMINATION OF MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LONGITUDINAL EXTENT OF CORROSION ‘The depth of a corrosion pit may be expressed as a percent of the nominal wall thickness of the pipe by: % pit depth = 100d/¢ @ where dd =measured maximum depth of the corroded area, in., as shown in Fig. 2-1 jominal wall thickness of the pipe, in, Additional wall thickness required for concurrent external loads shall not be included in the calculations. A contiguous corroded area having a maximum depth of more than 10% but less than 80% of the nominal wall thickness of the pipe should not extend along the longitudinal axis of the pipe for a distance greater than that calculated from: L = 1L2Bvbi @ (L may also be determined from Tables 3-1 through 3-12 in Part 3.) where ‘L =maximum allowable longitudinal extent of the corroded area, in., collinear with Ly in Fig. 2-1 D =nominal outside diameter of the pipe, in. B =a value which may be determined from the curve in Fig. 2-2 or from: dt 5 V(natae) ® except that B may not exceed the value 4. If the corrosion depth is between 10% and 17.5%, use B = 4.0 in Eq, (2).Fig. 2-1 ASME 8316-1991 Longitudinal axis of pine Ly: Measured longitudinal extent of the corroded area Measures ‘maximum depth of corrosion a - FIG. 21 CORROSION PARAMETERS USED IN ANALYSIS 10ASME 8216-1991, Fig. 22 ana | on FIG. 2.2 CURVE FOR DETERMINING THE VALUE 8 n
