are to ANSI B36.10 which is intended for
carbon steel pipes. Class 2: Pipe shall be double welded by processes
employing filler metal in all passes. No-radiography
is required.
Class 3: Pipe shall be welded in one pass by
processes employing filler metal and shall be
completely radiographed.
Class 4: Same as Class 3 except that the welding
process exposed to the inside pipe surface may be
made without the addition of filler metal.
Class 5: Pipe shall be double welded by processes
employing filler metal in all passes and shall be
spot radiographed.

Notes
1 Schedules 5S and 10S wall thicknesses do not permit threading in accordance with ANSI/ASME B1.20.1.
2 These dimensions and weights do not conform to ANSI/ASME B36.10M.
- The suffix ‘S’ after the schedule number indicates that the pipe dimensions and weight are in compliance with this stainless steel pipe specification,
ANSI/ASME B36.19M-1985, and not the more general ANSI/ASME B36.10M-1995 specification.
- Although this specification is applicable to stainless steel, quoted weights are for carbon steel pipe and should be multiplied by 1.014 for austenitic and
duplex steels, or by 0.985 for ferritic and martensitic steels.

Notes
1 Includes ovality tolerance except for thin wall pipe (i.e. t>3% OD).
2 Min wall thickness = Nominal wall thickness (t) x 0.875. Not applicable if filler metal added.
3 Refer to pages 1-2 to 1-5 for standard pipe weights. For non standard pipes W(lb/ft) = 10.68(OD-t)t, or W (kg/m) = 0.02466(OD-t) t

Standard Cut Lengths. Pipe ordering alternatives are:

• Random. Standard lengths are in the range 15 to 24 feet. Shorter lengths as agreed with the purchaser.
• Specified Lengths. Cut lengths as specified, with end finish also specified.
Length tolerances. No pipe shall be shorter than specified. No pipe shall be more than 1/4 in (6mm) longer than
specified. Tighter tolerances may be specified, e.g. for bevelled pipe.

ASTM Pipe – Pipe Specifications - ASTM A312/A312M

Seamless and welded austenitic stainless steel pipes
This specification covers austenitic steel pipe intended for high temperature and general corrosive service.
H grades in the chemical composition table are specifically for high temperature service.

Manufacture
Manufacture. In order to comply with this specification welded pipe must be manufactured by an automatic welding
process using no filler metal, or it must be a seamless pipe. If a welded pipe has a nominal pipe size greater than 14
then it may be constructed from two longitudinal sections, and hence have two longitudinal welds. The pipe may be
either hot finished or cold finished.

Finish and repair

Finish. The surface of the pipe must be clean and free of scale and contaminating iron particles. It can be bright
annealed but may be pickled, blasted or can be passivated.
Repair by welding. Permitted on − < 20% of the weld seam length of welded pipe if − > NPS 6 and having a wall
thickness −> 0.200 in (mm). Tungsten-arc welding process is used for repairs, with filler metal to a grade as specified
in A 312 (not repeated here). Weld repairs must be identified on the pipe and in test certificate.

 Butt Weld Fittings
Introduction
Butt Weld Fittings – Introduction

Butt Weld Fittings are a family of fittings used ASTM A403/A815 Butt Weld Fittings are sub-divided
for forming circumferential butt weld joints in into four classes:
pipework systems. WP-S: Made from seamless pipe to ASTM A312
They are used only in conjunction with ANSI (Austenitic) or ASTM A790 (Duplex).
Pipe and are available in the same size range. WP-W: Manufactured from welded pipe to ASTM
They are used in areas where pipe-work is A312 (Austenitic) or ASTM A790 (Duplex). There is no
permanent and are designed to provide good requirement for radiography unless a manufacturer’s
flow characteristics. weld has been introduced or there are welds made
with the addition of filler metal.

Notes
- For run size NPS 14 and larger, outlet dimension B is recommended but not required.
- Dimensions quoted in mm are ‘Nominal’ values from B16.9 (i.e. rounded equivalents of the inch dimensions).
Refer to B16.9 for additional ‘Max’ and ‘Min’ metric dimensions.
- The run and outlet NPS sizes are as shown in the left hand column. The corresponding size designation for a reducing tee is,
for example, for the tee shown as 43 : 4 x 4 x 3, and for the tee shown as 4436 : 44 x 44 x 36.
- For tolerances see page 3-14.
1 Weights are approximate and based on manufacturers’ data (where available) for Schedule 40S/Standard fittings.
See page 3-15 for further information.

Notes
- Dimensions quoted in mm are ‘Nominal’ values from B16.9 (rounded equivalents of the inch dimensions).
Refer to B16.9 for additional ‘Max’ and ‘Min’ metric dimensions.
- OD of barrel max and min dimensions (in and mm) are rounded. Refer to B16.9 for the exact values.
- Long pattern stub ends are standard. Purchaser should specify if short pattern is required.
Long pattern stub ends are also known as ASA Stub Ends.
Short pattern stub ends are used with larger flanges in Classes 300 and 600, and with most sizes in Class 900 and higher.
When long pattern stub ends are used with flanges in Classes 1500 and 2500, it may be necessary to increase the length A.
- Additional lap thickness must be provided for special facings (e.g. tongue and groove); this is within length A.
- Dimension B conforms to ASME/ANSI B16.5, Pipe Flanges and Forged Fittings.
- Gasket face finish shall be accordance with ASME/ANSI B16.5 for raised face flanges.
- For tolerances see page 3-14.
1 Long pattern weights are listed (short pattern weights are similar to MSS SP-43 lap joint stub ends, page 3-11).
Weights are approximate and based on manufacturers’ data (where available) for Schedule 40S/Standard fittings.

Weights
Butt Weld Fittings – Weights

Buttweld fitting weights

As mentioned previously, the ANSI/ASME and MSS buttweld fitting specifications do not specify wall thicknesses
and weights for fittings. Weights quoted in the dimension and weight tables are therefore based on manufacturers’
information and should be considered as approximate and provided as a guide only (fitting weights can vary
considerably between manufacturers due to differences in construction). The example weights quoted are for 40S or
Standard (STD) wall thicknesses only. It is possible to calculate the approximate weight at any other wall thicknesses
using the factors provided in the table below. These factors are calculated from the ANSI/ASME B36.19M and B36.10M
pipe weights and are based on the proportional relationship of the pipe weights (kg/m) to the weights of 40S and STD
wall thickness pipe at each NPS.
ASME/ANSI pipe sizes and weight multiplication factors for use in obtaining approximate fitting weights.
For use with the example (40S/STD) weights provided in the ANSI/ASME tables of this section.

Multiplication Factors = Proportional relationship of pipe weights to 40S or STD pipe at each NPS1.
Multiply the example 40S/STD fitting weights (at the required NPS)
NPS by the factors below (at the same NPS) to give approximate weights at different wall thicknesses.

Notes
1 The relationship between pipe weights at each NPS can strictly only be applied to fittings where the same proportional relationship is maintained in the
fitting. Less accurate results will therefore be obtained for reducing tees, for example, than for elbows, equal tees, etc. The type of fitting construction may
also make the factors inaccurate.

 Flanges
Introduction

Flanges – Introduction
Type Jointing Method General Description

Weld Neck Used in critical applications. These are

circumferentially welded onto the system
at their necks which means that the
integrity of the butt-welded area can
easily be examined by X-ray radiography.
The bores of both pipe and flange match
thus reducing turbulence and erosion.

Slip On This is slipped over the pipe and

then fillet welded. Easy to use in
fabricated applications.

Blind Sometimes called a blanking flange, this is

used for blanking off pipelines, valves and
pumps and as an inspection cover.

Socket Weld This is counter-bored to accept the pipe,

which is then fillet welded. The bore of both
the pipe and the flange are the same to
ensure good flows.

Screwed/Threaded This requires no welding and is used to

connect other threaded components in low
pressure noncritical applications.

Lap Joint These are always used with either a stub

end or a taft which is butt-welded to
the pipe with the flange loose behind it.
Thus the stub end or the taft always
provides the sealing face. Easily assembled
and aligned, it is favoured in low pressure
applications. To reduce cost these ‘backing’
flanges can be supplied without a hub
and/or made from coated carbon steel.

Ring Type Joint This can be employed on Weld Neck,

Slip On or Blind Flanges for leak-proof
connection at high pressures. The seal is
made by a metal ring being compressed
into a hexagonal groove on the flange face.

 Flanges
Introduction
Flanges – Introduction

Type General Description

Plate or Table (BS 10:1962) These are produced to suit Nominal Bore/NPS Pipe Sizes.
They are produced from bar or plate rather than forgings and are not
pressure-rated.
Blind and Slip-On, flat-faced, types are readily available in grades 304L
and 316L in sizes from 1/2 ˝ to 6˝ as Table D and Table E, with larger sizes and
other Tables (thicknesses) made to order.
These economical flanges are used for light-duty applications where
corrosion resistance is the primary consideration rather than high pressure
or temperature.

BS EN 1092 Part 1 These are not interchangeable with ANSI Flanges.

Also referred to as PN Flanges They are readily available in types 304L and 316L with various pressure
(Formerly BS4504) ratings of which 10 Bar & 16 Bar are the most commonly used.

Metric ND/DN Please refer to information about the Metric ND product range in section 7.

Hygienic Please refer to information about the Hygienics product range in section 6.

Flange faces
Of the four choices available the most common configurations are:
For ANSI and BS EN 1092 – Raised Face
BS 10 – Flat Face.
Note that this does not apply to Screwed or Lap Joint Flanges.

Type General Description

Raised Face To facilitate welding

Flat Face
Ring Type Joint (RJT) For leak-proof connection at high pressures
Tongue & Groove – Small or Large

Finish
The finish is given as a surface roughness measured as Arithmetic Average Roundness Height (AARH). The finish
requirements are stipulated by the standards, such as ANSI B16.5 and are within the range 125AARH to 500AARH,
which is equivalent to 3.2 to 12.5 Ra.

 Flanges
Specifications - ASTM A182/A182M
Flanges – Specifications - ASTM A182/A182M

Forged or rolled alloy – steel pipe flanges, forged fittings, and valves and parts
for high temperature service
This specification covers forged low alloy and stainless steel piping components for use in pressure
systems. These include flanges, fittings, valves and similar parts manufactured to dimensional
standards such as ASME/ANSI. Products made to this specification are limited to a maximum weight
of 10,000 lb (4,540 kg).
Note
- Although low allow steels are covered by this standard, only stainless steels (martensitic, ferritic, austenitic and duplex) are included in this summary.

Dimensions and tolerances

Dimensions and tolerances. ASME/ANSI specifications B16.5 and B16.11 are referenced.
Flange dimensions and tolerances (see page 5-12).

Manufacture
Materials. Refer to chemical composition table (stainless steel grades only shown). Elements not specified in the
table are not permitted, specifically selenium or other elements added for free-machining properties.
The steel may be melted by electric-furnace, or vacuum-furnace, or by either of these followed by vacuum or
electroslag-consumable remelting. Vacuum melting or remelting is not suitable for grades containing or modified
by nitrogen. Grade F XM-27Cb may be electron-beam melted.
Manufacture. The steel is forged or rolled as near as possible to size and shape of the product. Small cylindrical
parts (excluding flanges) may be machined directly from forged or rolled bar without additional hot working
(limits defined in ASTM A234 apply for martensitic steels, in A403 for austenitic steels and A815 for duplex steels).
Elbows, returns and tees are not machined directly from bar.
Heat treatment. Refer to heat treatment table. Heat treatment of forgings may be performed before machining.
For martensitic and ferritic grades, liquid quench followed by tempering is permitted, subject to purchaser agreement.
Small cylindrical parts (excluding flanges) machined directly from forged or rolled austenitic steel may be furnished
annealed to this specification with subsequent light cold drawing or straightening permitted.
Marking. Each forging is marked with manufacturers name, heat number (or heat identification), designation of
service rating, specification number, grade (e.g. F304) and size.
Additionally: QT = Liquid quenched and tempered
W = Welded
WNS = Not post repair weld heat treated.

Finish and repair

Appearance. Forgings have a workmanlike finish and shall be free of scale, machining burns and injurous,
imperfections (i.e. those that encroach on minimum wall thickness).
Defect repair by grinding or machining. The following may be removed:
• Surface discontinuity as above.
• Mechanical marks, abrasions or pits deeper than 1/16 in (1.6mm).
Defect repair by welding:
• Permitted unless purchaser prohibits.
• Defect removal by chipping or grinding is verified by magnetic particle inspection.
• Repair is limited to 10% of surface area and 331/3% of nominal wall thickness.
• Repair welding electrodes and post weld repair heat treatments are defined in A182 but are not detailed in
this summary.

Flanges – Specifications - ASME/ANSI B16.5

American national standards ASME/ANSI B16.5 and B16.47 together cover pipe flanges up to NPS 60
(NPS 48 is the largest detailed in this summary). ASME/ANSI B16.47 covers two series of flanges, Series A
which is equivalent to MSS SP-44 (the 1996 Edition of MSS SP-44 complies with B16.47 tolerances), and
Series B which is equivalent to API 605 (API 605 is now cancelled).

c Welded flanges allowed only for an application up to 370ºC in conformance with EN 13480-3:2002, D.4.4.
d In case flanges are made by cold forming of a base material e.g. flat product, some mechanical properties, like elongation after fracture (A) and impact
energy (KV), will be impaired due to cold forming without subsequent heat treatment.

Repairs by welding
With the exception of weld repairs carried out according to BSEN 1092-1:2007 (E) clause 5.11, repairs by welding are
permitted only by written agreement of the purchaser.
Within the certificate for material or component relevant documents shall be noted, that approved welding procedure
and welders qualification have been applied.

There are two types of bends and tees available, the Short type and Long type. For bends, the Short
type simply comprises a 90° bend, while the Long type has a straight leg added at both ends. Tees have
equivalent dimensions making them interchangeable. The straight leg of long type bends and tees was
originally added to enable expanded type clamp and union parts to be fitted, but they are now widely used
in all-welded installations.

Clamp Fittings - BS 4825 : Part 3
Hygienics – Clamp Fittings - BS 4825 : Part 3

Clamp fittings provide a crevice free joint and, depending on the clamp design, requires no tools for
assembly or dismantling for cleaning. Provides quick method of regularly opening up a system and often
has some kind of closure device such as a ‘Triclover’ clamp. Used where corrosion and contamination are
particular hazards, as in the pharmaceutical industry. Also used in systems carrying warm semi-solids and
viscous liquids, such as chocolate and tomato sauce, which must not cool in the line but tend to cause
regular blockages.
Clamp fittings comprise four parts – two welding ferrules, a seal ring and a clamp. The ends of the tubes
and/or fittings to be joined have a welding ferrule fitted by welding (or expansion on to expanded type
parts if used). The joint is made by positioning the welding ferrules together, with a seal inserted between
the faces, and then clamping the ferrules together. The clamp is not in contact with the contents of the
pipe and may be made of any suitable material.

Hygienics – IDF Unions - BS 4825 : Part 4

The International Dairy Federation, IDF, coupling provides a crevice free joint originally designed for
applications where frequent dismantling for cleaning would not be necessary. They may be operated at
pressures up to 1.6 MPa.
The Liner is machined and the Nitrile or EPDM Seal is a square section and is more substantial than
the RJT. The IDF Union also has a thicker Nut than the RJT. It is machined rather than pressed and is
considered easier to use.
Compared to the RJT, the IDF has a smoother and cleaner flow line that is free of crevices and bug traps.
It is used where CIP (Clean In Place) systems prevail, with the RJT only tending to be used where very
regular access is needed.
IDF type couplings comprise four parts – a male part, a liner, a seal ring and a hexagonal or round nut.
The ends of the tubes and/or fittings to be joined have a male part and liner fitted by welding (or expansion
on to expanded type parts if used). The joint is made by positioning the male part and the liner together,
with a seal inserted between. The nut is then slipped over the liner, screwed on to the male part and
tightened against the liner to compress the seal.
BS 4825 : Part 3 requirements for IDF union parts follow.

Assembly

The illustration above shows the assembly of an IDF union with welded parts.
Options:
Expanded IDF expanded type union parts are available.
Round nuts. True IDF round nuts have no slots on their circumference, making them tamper proof, but necessitating
the use of a special spanner.

Hygienics – RJT Unions - BS 4825 : Part 5

Ring Joint Type, RJT, unions are easily assembled and dismantled for cleaning purposes, this being a result
of their having a Whitworth form thread. The RJT joint is not crevice free and may accumulate a deposit of
the product being passed. However, present day cleaning systems are able to sanitise this area successfully
without dismantling in the majority of applications. RJT unions may be operated at pressures up to 1.0 MPa.
RJT type couplings comprise four parts – a male part, a liner, an O-ring seal and a hexagonal nut. The ends
of the tubes and/or fittings to be joined have a male part and liner fitted by welding (or expansion on to
expanded type parts if used). The joint is made by positioning the male part and the liner together, with a
seal inserted between. The nut is then slipped over the liner, screwed on to the male part and tightened
against the liner to compress the seal.
BS 4825: Part 5 requirements for RJT union parts follow. Additional RJT components are also available
(see page 6-11).

Testing Stainless Steel Products
General Information – Testing Stainless Steel Products

There are two main categories of tests: destructive tests in which the parent material or representative
samples of the product are tested, and nondestructive tests performed on the finished product.

Tensile test
This is probably the most revealing of the mechanical tests that can be performed upon a specimen of pipe or tubular
product material. A longitudinal specimen1 of known cross sectional area is taken from the material and gripped at
each end, and then pulled apart until fracture occurs. By recording the gradually increasing load applied and the
extension during loading a Stress-Strain Graph can be plotted (see diagram).

D
C

Initially the graph is a straight line, and the material

STRESS

B A-B Elastic Deformation Range

B Elastic Limit can be expected to return to its original dimensions
C Proof Stress when the load is removed.
D Ultimate Tensile Stess
E Specified Strain The graph deviates from the straight line at point B,
A when it enters the plastic region. The deformation is
E STRAIN
permanent after this load has been applied.
Notes The test piece continues to stretch and also weakens
- Stress = Force per unit area,
Example units: Pounds per square inch (psi or lbf/in2),
so that the elongation increases even though the load
Newtons per square metre (N/m2), Pascal (Pa). is decreased. Eventually the test piece fractures.
1 ksi = 1x103 psi, 1 Pa = 1 N/m2; 1 MPa = 1x106 Pa.
- Strain = Increase in length per unit length From this graph the following values can be computed.
Tensile Strength (D). The maximum tensile stress that the material is capable of sustaining.
Yield Strength or Proof Stress (C). The load at which the sample is permanently elongated by a specific
percentage of the original length. The percentage elongation (corresponding to the distance E on the graph) is
commonly set at 0.2% The dotted line to C on the graph is drawn parallel to line A-B.)
Elongation. This is a measure of the extension of the test piece at the point of fracture. The fractured test piece is
carefully fitted together and the distance between gauge marks on the test piece is measured and compared with
original gauge length. The increase in length is expressed as a percentage of the original length.
Elastic Limit or Yield Point (B). The stress at which the test piece is permanently deformed.
Modulus of Elasticity. In the tensile test, the ratio between Stress and Strain within the elastic deformation range
(A-B) is known as Young’s Modulus of Elasticity.
Reduction of Area. This is the reduction in crosssectional area of the test piece after tensile fracture expressed as
a percentage of the original cross-sectional area.
Notes
1 The longitudinal specimen may be a full size tubular section with metal plugs fitted in the ends to allow gripping by the test machine, or for larger tube
sizes a strip may be cut from the tube. Transverse tension tests may also be performed using a ring expansion method or for larger tube sizes (e.g.
greater than 8 in NPS) a transverse strip may be cut/flattened.

Hardness tests
Brinell Hardness Test. A standard size hardened steel ball is indented into the surface of material by an applied
standard load. The diameter of the impression is measured accurately by microscope and converted to
a hardness value using tables.
Vickers Diamond Hardness Test. This determines hardness by measuring the impression left in material by
a diamond pyramid under a standard load. The impression is accurately measured, and its area calculated.
The Vickers Hardness Number is calculated by dividing the load (kg) by the area of impression (mm2).
Rockwell Hardness Test. This determines hardness by measuring the depth to which a diamond cone or hardened
steel ball, under specific load, penetrates the material. Two loads are used, a minor load (10 kgf) and then a major
load (100 or 150 kgf), the difference in indentation being used by the machine to determine the Rockwell number.
The number increases with increasing hardness and is displayed or printed by the machine. Two scales are most
frequently used, a B scale with a 100 kgf load and 1.588mm steel ball, and a C scale with a 150 kgf load and
diamond cone.
A Rockwell superficial hardness machine is used for testing very thin wall thicknesses, the minor load used being
3 kgf and the major load being 15, 30 or 45 kgf. The superficial hardness scales used are then 15T, 30T or 45T with
a 1.588mm steel ball, or 15N, 30N or 45N with a diamond cone.

Impact tests
In this type of test, a sample is subjected to sudden force to measure its toughness or resistance to shock.
Charpy Impact Test. In this test a specimen is supported at both ends and subjected to a blow by a Pendulum
immediately behind a prepared notch, either ‘U’ or ‘V’ shape in cross section. The energy absorbed in fracturing
the specimen is measured by the height to which the pendulum rises after breaking the test piece. These tests
can be carried out at various temperatures to determine the performance of material at either elevated or
cryogenic temperatures.
At higher temperature specimens fracture by a ductile mechanism, absorbing much energy. At low temperatures
they fracture in a brittle manner absorbing less energy. Within the transition range a mixture of ductile and brittle
fracture is observed. Minimum test results for absorbed energy, fracture appearance, lateral expansion or a
combination of these, may be specified.

Manipulating tests
These tests prove the ductility of certain tubular products and confirm the soundness of welds.
Bend Tests. A bend test involves bending a sufficient length of full size pipe through 90° or 180° degrees around
a mandrel having 12 or 8 times the nominal pipe diameter. This checks the ductility and weld soundness of pipe
(2 in and under) used for coiling. Transverse guided bend tests may also be specified to check the ductility of fusion
welds. These involve bending the root or face of the weld in a specimen against a plunger.
Flange Test. This tests the ability of boiler tubes to withstand bending into a tube sheet. It involves the tube having
a flange turned over a right angles to the tube body.
Flattening Test. This is usually applied to tube and involves flattening a sample of tube between two parallel faces
without the tube showing flaws or cracks.
The length of the test piece and degree to which it is to be flattened (i.e. the distance between the parallel faces)
are specified.
Flare or Drift Test. This is an alternative to the flange test for certain types of pressure tube. A cone is forced into
the end of the tube. The end of the tube is expanded by a specified increase in diameter without splits or cracks.
The included angle of drift is also specified.

Corrosion testing
Various corrosion tests are available using different corrosive environments to indicate the performance of material
under heavy duty applications.
Weld Decay Test. This test detects intercrystalline corrosion and involves the use of boiling copper sulphate/
sulphuric acid solution. Test samples are first sensitised and then immersed in the solution for 72 hours. After the
immersion the samples are bent through 90 degrees and are considered satisfactory if no cracks are present.
Strauss Test. This test detects intercrystalline corrosion and involves the use of boiling copper sulphate/sulphuric
acid solution which must contain solid electrolytic copper. The test samples are immersed in the solution for 15
hours. After immersion the samples are bent through 90 degrees and are considered resistant to intercrystalline
corrosion if they bend without cracking.
Huey Test. This test detects the susceptibility of a material to intergranular attack and involves the use of boiling
nitric acid. The test samples are immersed in the solution at a concentration of 65% by weight for five 48 hour
periods. The effect of the acid on the material is measured by the loss in weight after each period and the corrosion
rate assessed as a thickness loss in a given time.
Potentiostat Test This is a method of determining the corrosion properties of stainless steel by producing
polarisation curves which relate electrode potentials and a current flow. The shapes of the curves, which are very
sensitive to microstructure and composition, provide a critical method of assessing the corrosion properties of
stainless steel.

Non-destructive tests
Non-destructive tests do not damage the material or product being tested. Frequently they are built into production
processes, as is the case with pipe tested using eddy current equipment.
Ultrasonic Testing. This test involves ultrasonic sound waves being aimed, via a coupling medium, at the material
to be tested. A proportion are bounced back at the interface but the remainder enter the material and bounce from
the internal surface, to the external surface, where a transducer converts them into electrical energy. This is then
monitored on a cathode ray tube where results are compared with those from a calibration standard. Any deviations
from the standard are visible, thus indicating cracks or internal defects.
Eddy-Current Testing. This involves inducing eddy currents into the material by exciting a coil which surmounts
two narrow search coils surrounding the material. Any discontinuities in material are found by comparing the
electrical conditions that exist in the two search coils. The fault signals are amplified and can be shown on a
cathode ray tube or as an audible signal.
Hydrostatic Testing. This is used to test the manufactured items under a pressure equivalent to or greater than
pressure to be encountered in service. It involves filling the tube with water, which cannot be compressed, and
increasing the pressure inside the tube to that specified.
Magnetic Particle Testing. This method of testing is used when trying to detect discontinuities in material of
ferromagnetic structure. The method is based on the principle that an imperfection will cause a distortion in the
magnetic field pattern of a magnetised component. The imperfection can be revealed by applying magnetic
particles to the component during or after magnetisation.
Radiographic (X-Ray) Testing. This is usually used to determine whether a weld is sound. It involves subjecting a
weld or weld area to an X-Ray source with an X-Ray sensitive film plate on the under side of the weld. The results are
shown on the developed film (a photomicrograph) and interpreted according to specification.
Dye-Penetrant Test. This is used to detect cracks and involves spraying a dye on the area to be tested.
After allowing time for penetration the surplus dye is removed and the area is then sprayed with a white developer.
Any faults are revealed as coloured lines or spots caused by the developer absorbing the dye seeping from
the cracks. If more sensitive results are required, a fluorescent dye is used and the same process is followed.
When viewed under ultraviolet light any defects show as a highly fluorescent line or spot.

Wall thickness calculations for straight pipe under internal pressure
The following equations and tables are based on those provided in the Process Piping Specification, ASME B31.3a-2008,
ASME Code for Pressure Piping (see Notes for references to source paragraphs and tables in this specification).
Firstly, any one of the following four equations may be used to calculate the ‘pressure design wall thickness’ (t) of a
straight pipe subject to internal pressure.
The equations assume t<D/6 (for pipe with t >D/6 or P/SE >0.385 additional factors need to be considered).
The four alternative equations are:

t= PD
2(SE + PY)
t = PD
2SE 2 (
t = D 1− SE − P
SE + P ) t= P(d + 2c)
2[SE − P(1 − Y)]

where:
t = Pressure design thickness
d = Inside diameter of pipe. For pressure design calculation, the inside diameter of the pipe is the maximum value
allowable under the purchase specification.
P = Internal design pressure.
D = Outside diameter pipe as listed in tables of standards or specifications or as measured.
E = Quality factor. See the table “Basic quality factors ‘E’ for longitudinal weld joints in stainless steel pipes, tubes and
fittings” on page 8-10.
S = Stress value for material from the table “Basic allowable stresses ‘S’ in tension for stainless steels” on page 8-10.
Y = Coefficient from table “Values of coefficient ‘Y’ for t<D/6” on page 8-9.
Secondly, the minimum required wall thickness tm of straight sections of pipe is determined in accordance with the
following equation.
tm = t + c
where:
tm = Minimum required thickness, including mechanical, corrosion and erosion allowances.
c = The sum of the mechanical allowances (thread or groove depth) plus corrosion and erosion allowances.
For threaded components, the nominal thread depth (dimension h of ASME B1.20.1, or equivalent) shall apply.
For machined surfaces or grooves where the tolerance is not specified, the tolerance shall be assumed to be
0.5 mm (0.02 in) in addition to the specified depth of the cut.
The actual minimum thickness for the pipe selected, considering manufacturer’s tolerance, shall not be less than tm

Units of measure for calculations

It is important to use compatible units for pressure calculations. ASTM and ASME/ANSI specifications are based upon
imperial sizes.

Pipe bends
The equations above may also be used for pipe bends provided the requirement for minimum wall thickness (tm ) is met.

Further information
Refer to ASME B31.3a-2008 paragraph 304 for further details relating to pressure rating and wall thickness calculations
applicable to elbows, branch connections, closures, flanges, reducers and other components.

Notes
- This table is based on Table A-1A of ASME B31.3a-2008.
- For specified minimum tensile and yield strengths refer to the individual ASTM specifications in Sections 1, 2, 3 and 5.
- Minimum temperatures in °C: -20°F = -29°C, -60°F = -51°C, -325°F = -199°C, -425°F = -254°C
1 For temperatures above 538°C (1000°F), these stress values may be used only if the material has been heat treated at a temperature of 1093°C
(2000°F) minimum.
2 When the material has not been solution heat treated, the minimum temperature shall be -29°C (-20°F) unless the material is impact tested.
3 Must be verified by tensile test.
4 For temperatures above 538°C (1000°F), these stress values apply only when the carbon content is 0.04% or higher.
5 For temperatures above 538°C (1000°F), these stress values may be used only if the material has been heat treated by heating to a minimum
temperature of 1038°C (1900°F) and quenching in water or rapidly cooling by other means.
6 This steel is intended for use at high temperatures; it may have low ductility and/or low impact properties at room temperature after being used at
higher temperatures.
7 If the chemical composition of this Grade is such as to render it hardenable, qualification under P-No. 6 is required.
8 Increasingly tends to precipitate intergranular carbides as the carbon content increases above 0.03%.
9 This steel may develop embrittlement after service at approximately 316°C (600°F) and higher temperature.
10 This material when used below -29°C (-20°F) shall be impact tested if the carbon content is above 0.10%.
11 The stress values above 538°C (1000°F) shall be used only when the micrograin size, is No. 6 or less (coarser grain). Otherwise, the lower stress values
listed for the same material, specification, and grade shall be used.
