MINIMUM THICKNESS OF TUBES AFTER BENDING AND AS PEA IBR REG.

338(a)

2xF (T-C)
WP = ------------------ ----- Eqn (87)
(D-T+C)
Where , Minimum thickness of tubes, that is, nominal
T = thickness less the permissble negative tolerance
in mm'
-ve Tolerance = 7.5 %

WP = Design pressure in Kg/cm2(g)

= 14.1

D = Tube outside diameter in mm

= 25.4

F = Allowable Stress in Kg/cm2

= 869.87
C = Corrosion Allowance
= 0.75 mm for WP 70 Kg/cm2 or C = 0 for WP exceeding 70 Kg/cm

THERFORE T min = (PxD)/(2xf+P)+C

= 0.9542 mm

Thining in %--------------------------------------------
= ----- Eqn (c ii (a))
(4R / D) + 2

R = is the mean radius of the bend to center of the tube (in mm)
Thining in % = 7.68
