Standards for pipe lines:

liquid petroleum : ANSI/ASME B31.4-liquid petroleum transportation piping system Gas : ANSI/ASME B31.8 Gas transmission and distribution system

Gas pipe line ANSI/ASME B31.8 P= (2St/D) x F x E x T P= design pressure , lb/in2 S= specified minimum yield strength , lb/in2 ( table 1) t= nominal wall thickness , in D= nominal outside diameter , in. F= design factor (table 2) E= longitudinal joint factor ( table 3) T=temperature derating factor ( table 4)

liquid pipe line ANSI/ASME B31.4 P= (2St/D) x F x E P= design pressure , lb/in2 gauge S= specified minimum yield strength , lb/in2 ( table 5) t= nominal wall thickness , in D= nominal outside diameter of the pipe, in. F= design factor of 0.72 E= weld joint factor ( table 6)
