* Nominal wall thickness; they correspond respectively to the thickness of STANDARD WALL GRADE B
steel pipe.
** Ratings apply in accordance with Sections 1 and 5 of the Code for Pressure Pipe. The values shown
are based upon a corrosion allowance of 0.05 inches for sizes 1" and smaller. For sizes 1 1/4" and
larger, a corrosion allowance of 0.065 inches is used.
o

*** Upon prolonged exposure to temperatures about 775 the carbide phase of carbon steel may be
converted to graphite. For other applications refer to appropriate section of B31 Code for Pressure
Piping.
