CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31.3 Process Piping Basic Allowable Stress   ±

Calculate ASME B31.3 process piping allowable stress (S), yield stress (SYT) and tensile stress (SUT) from temperature for low pressure piping (ASME B31.3 Table A-1) and high pressure piping (ASME B31.3 Table K-1).

Stress values are interpolated from the US data tables (US units govern). For temperatures below the data range, the stress value is constant (fracture toughness should also be considered for low temperature operation). For temperatures above the data range the stress values can either be constant value from the end point, constant slope from the end point, or zero from the end point. Engineering judgement is required to use extrapolated values above the data range.

Use the Data Plot option to plot the allowable stress versus temperature for the selected material. Use the Data Table option to display the data table in the popup window (Table A-1 or K-1). Use the Result Table option to display a table of allowable stress versus material type. Refer to the help pages for notes on the data tables. Change units on the setup page. Use the workbook ASME B31.3 data tables to look up allowable stress data.

Note : The choice of high pressure versus low pressure service is at the discretion of the owner (section FK300). The ASME B16.5 Class 2500 pressure temperature rating for the material group is often used as a criteria.

CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31.3 Process Piping Wall Thickness   ±

Calculate ASME B31.3 process piping wall thickness from temperature for low pressure steel pipe (Table A-1), high pressure steel pipe (Table K-1), and plastic piping.

Allowable stress for steel pipe is calculated from Table A-1 and Table K-1 US values (US units govern). Change units on the setup page. Stress values can be extrapolated for temperatures above the data range (care is required when using extrapolated values). The wall thickness calculations are valid for internal overpressure only. For combined internal and external pressure use the pressure difference in the calculations.

Use the Data Plot option to plot the allowable stress versus temperature for the selected material. Use the Data Table option to display the data table in the popup window (Table A-1, or Table K-1). Use the Result Table option to display a table of wall thickness and allowable pressure versus material type (for the calculate wall thickness option the allowable pressure equals the design pressure. for the specified wall thickness option the wall thickness equals the specified wall thickness). Refer to the help pages for notes on the data tables. Change units on the setup page. Use the workbook ASME B31.3 data tables to look up allowable stress data.

CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31.3 Process Piping Minimum Temperature For Impact Testing   ±

Calculate ASME B31.3 process piping minimum temperature for impact testing from wall thickness and material type.

For carbon steel materials with a minimum temperature letter designation, the minimum temperature for testing can be calculated according to table 323.2.2A (curves A, B, C and D).

If the maximum stress is less than the design stress, the impact testing temperature can be reduced according to figure 323.2.2B using the stress ratio. The stress ratio is the maximum of hoop stress over design stress, combined stress over design stress, or operating pressure over pressure rating for pressure rated components. The reduction in impact testing temperature from stress ratio is valid for minimum temperatures listed in table A-1, and for minimum temnperatures calculated from a letter designation (curves A, B, C or D). Use the workbook ASME B31.3 data tables to look up minimum temperature and letter designation data.

Calculate ASME B31.1 power piping basic allowable stress (S), allowable stress (SE), design stress (SEW), tensile stress (SUT), and yield stress (SYT) from the design temperature (US units).

The allowable stress (SE) is calculated from tables A-1 to A-10. The calculated stress values are constant for temperatures below the data range. For temperatures above the data range, the stress values can be calculated as either a constant value from the highest data point, constant slope from the highest data point, or set to zero. Stress values for temperatures above the data range should be ued carefully (engineering judgement is required).

The yield stress and tensile stress are assumed to be proportional to the allowable stress (approximate only). Actual yield stress and tensile stress temperature data should be used if it is available. The weld factor is only relevant for temperatures in the creep range. The weld factor W = 1 for temperatures below the creep onset temperature, or for seamless pipe.
