CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31.5 Refrigeration Piping Line Pipe Schedule   ±
CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31.5 Refrigeration Piping Allowable Stress   ±

Calculate ASME B31.5 refrigeration piping allowable stress (S), yield stress (SYT) and tensile stress (SUT) from the design temperature.

Stress values are calculated from temperature using Table 502.3.1 (US values). Change units on the setup page. 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 for 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. 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. Use the workbook ASME B31.5 data tables to look up allowable stress data.

CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31.5 Refrigeration Piping Wall Thickness   ±

Calculate ASME B31.5 refrigeration piping wall thickness from internal pressure and design temperature .

Allowable stress is calculated from temperature using Table 502.3.1 (US values). 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. 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 is constant). Use the workbook ASME B31.5 data tables to look up allowable stress data.

CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31.5 Refrigeration Piping Hoop Stress   ±

Calculate ASME B31.5 refrigeration piping hoop stress from internal pressure. Use the allowable stress calculators to calculate the allowable stress from the design temperature.

The hoop stress can be calculated for either the minimum wall thickness (nominal wall thickness minus fabrication allowance), or the pressure design wall thickness (minimum wall thickness minus the corrosion allowance). For operation the hoop stress should be ≤ the design stress. For pressure tests, the hoop stress should be ≤ 100% of yield stress for hydrotest, or ≤ 90% of yield strss for pneumatic tests. For combined internal and external pressure use the pressure difference in the calculations. Use the workbook ASME B31.5 data tables to look up allowable stress data.

CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31.5 Refrigeration Piping Hydrotest Pressure   ±

Calculate ASME B31.5 refrigeration piping hydrotest and pneumatic leak test pressure and hoop stress check. Use the allowable stress calculators to calculate the yield stress from the design temperature.

The test pressure should be 1.5 times the design pressure for hydrotest, or 1.1 times the design pressure for pneumatic test. Hydrotest should be used for secondary cooling piping only. Hydrotest should not be used for refrigeration piping.

Hoop stress can be calculated for either the minimum wall thickness (nominal wall thickness minus fabrication allowance), or the pressure design wall thickness (minimum wall thickness minus the corrosion allowance). Minimum wall thickness is recommended for new piping, or piping in as new condition. The pressure design wall thickness is recommended for corroded piping. The hoop stress should be ≤ 90% of yield for hydrotest or pneumatic tests.

For piping systems with combined internal and external pressure during operation, the test pressure should be calculated from the internal pressure only. The hoop stress should be calculated separately from the pressure difference during testing (use the hoop stress calculator). Use the workbook ASME B31.5 data tables to look up allowable stress data.

CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31.5 Refrigeration Piping Minimum Temperature For Impact Testing   ±

Calculate ASME B31.5 refrigeration 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 523.2.2 (curves A, B and C).

If the maximum stress is less than the design stress, the impact testing temperature can be reduced according to figure 523.2.2 using the stress ratio (the ratio of design tensile streess over allowable stress). Use the hoop stress calculator to calculate the hoop tensile stress. Use the flexibility calculators to calculate longitudinal tensile stress. Use the workbook ASME B31.5 data tables to look up minimum temperature and letter designation data.
