How can you derive the formula

for the ASME pipe thickness
calculation?
| t | = (( PD /2 ( SE + PY )) + C)

where :

t = |pressure design thickness

P = |internal design gauge pressure

D = |outside diameter of pipe

S = |allowable stress of material

E = |material and pipe construction quality factor

Y = |coefficient of wall thickness
