    This formula calculates the allowable span L in feet for a pipe based on factors including the hot basic allowable stress S in psi, the support beam width d and bearing width b in inches, the corroded wall thickness t plus any repad in inches, the unit weight W of the pipe and contents in lb/ft, and the pipe radius R in inches. The formula limits the local stress due to bearing to 67% of the hot condition allowable stress S.

    Allowable span

    Allowable span L (feet) =


    L

    (2/3)S(d+b)(t^2)
    --------------------(0.644)W(R/t)^0.5

    ( From Kelloggs)

    S - Hot Basic Allow. Stress (psi)


    d - support beam width, inches
    b - bearing width, 1.5% of pipe OD, inches
    t - corroded wall thickness, plus any repad, inches
    W - unit weight of pipe and contents, lb/ft
    R - pipe radius, OD/2, inches
    This limits the local stress due to bearing to 67% of S(hot condition)
