PIPE WALL THICKNESS CALCULATION

Pipe wall thickness calculation in accordance with ASME B 31.3 paragraph 304.1
(a) Nomenclature

tm = minimum required thickness, including mechanical, corrosion and ero

t = pressure design thickness, (mm)
c = the sum of mechanical allowances (thread or groove depth) plus corr
P = internal design gauge pressure, (Kg/cm2)
D = Outside diameter of pipe, (mm)
E = quality factor from table A-1A or A-1B
S = stress value for material from table A-1, (ksi)
T = pipe wall thickness (measured or minimum to pruchase specification)
Y = coefficient from Table 304.1.1, valid for t<D/6 and for materials shown
MT = Manufacturing tollerance from Material Specification (12.5%)
Tm = Minimum required thickness including manufacturing tolerances
W= weld joint strength reduction factor per para.302.3.5(e)
(b) Calculation Equations
tm = t + c
t = P x D/2 (SxE + PxY)
