Pressure Design

The rninimum wall thickness for straight pipe under internal

pressure and temperatures not exceeding those for
various materials listed in the allowable stress tables, including
allowances for mechanical strength, should not be
less than that determined by this equation (Section
1M.1.2, Equation 3):
,'_'' = [_ _ro"- * ol [2(SE + Pn I
(see Chapter 7)
The design pressure should not exceed:
P= 2SE (t - A) (see Chapter 7) D"-2Y(t--A)
where t- : minimum required wall thickness, in. (mm)
If pipe is ordered by its nominal thickness, the manufacturing
tolerances must be taken into account. This minimum
thickness must be increased to provide the increase
of manufactured tolerance allowed by the applicable specification
or required by the process. The next heavier
commercial thickness should be selected.
