PER

BARLOWS FORMULA
Barlows Formula is a safe, easy method for finding the relationship
between internal fluid pressure and stress in the pipe wall. The formula
predicts bursting pressures that have been found to be safely within the
actual test bursting pressures.
It is interesting to note that the formula uses the Outside Diameter of
pipe and is sometimes referred to as the Outside Diameter Formula.
P = (2 t S) / D
Where:
P = internal units pressure, in psi
S = unit stress, in psi
D = outside diameter of pipe, in inches
t = wall thickness, in inches
