ALLOWABLE PRESSURE RATINGS FOR PIPES AND FLANGES

The information included on this page is to be used as a guide only in the pre-selection of pipe
and flange sizes for various temperatures and pressures.
When calculating thickness requirements in accordance with the ASME code for safe pressure
vessel design, stress values may often be less than shown in Table 1.
