on . Posted in Pipe

The pressure rating of comparable pipe material to fitting material.

 

Pipe Pressure per ASME B31.1 (104.1.2) formula

\(\large{ p = \frac{ 2\;S\; \left( t \;-\; c \right) }{ OD \;-\; 2\;y\; \left( t \;-\; c \right) } }\) 
Symbol English Metric
\(\large{ p }\) = pressure rating \(\large{\frac{lbf}{in^2}}\) \(\large{Pa}\)
\(\large{ S }\) = allowable stress \(\large{\frac{lbf}{in^2}}\) \(\large{Pa}\)
\(\large{ t }\) = wall thickness of pipe \(\large{ft^2}\) \(\large{m^2}\)
\(\large{ c }\) = allowable corrosion                    \(\large{in}\) \(\large{mm}\)
\(\large{ OD }\) = outside diameter of pipe \(\large{in}\)  \(\large{mm}\)
\(\large{ y }\) = ASME B31.1, Table 104.1.2 (0.4 if temperature is less than 900°F)  \(\large{F}\)  \(\large{C}\)
