Appendix A(Reference)

Method for identifying the minimum design thickness of pressure pipe

The minimum design thickness of the pressure pipe will be calculated by the formula:tm = t + cWhere: The pipe production standard: API 5L Gr.B

tm – the minimum design thickness of the pressure pipe, calculated in mm;c – the corrosion-resistant tolerance, usually c = 0.5mm;t – the minimum thickness that is born the internal pressure, calculated by the following formula:

P x Dt = ——————— 2 (S x E + P x Y)

P – pipe air pressure, kg/cm3;D – pipe external diameter, calculated in mm;S – material stress, (S = 20 psi ~ 1.406 kg/cm2 ~ 1.38 bar);E – the coefficient according to material quality, for steel, E = 0.8;Y – the temperature coefficient. If the temperature is less than 4000F (~ 2040C), Y = 0.4.

During operation, after the pipe thickness is tested, if the pipe real thickness is less than the minimum design thickness of the pressure pipe (tm), the pipe must be replaced or the local pressure of the pipe must be reduced so tm value is less than the real thickness of the pipe.
