Proposed stress-strain diagram
The proposed equations described uniaxial stress-strain diagram (S e) for pipe
steel (with the division of the stress-strain curve in three stress sections) and are
based solely upon the available data presented in the Pipe Specs and the B31
Codes
where
Sys = specified minimum yield stress (SMYS)
eys = strain corresponding to SMYS, = 0.005 per API 5L definition
Suts =specified minimum ultimate tensile stress (SUTS)
euts = minimum elongation (strain) for specimens with area of 0.20 sq. in.
Eo = modulus of elasticity.
