Calculate ASME B31.4 oil and liquid pipeline test pressure and hoop stress check for onshore and offshore pipelines.
Select the appropriate line pipe schedule (ASME or ISO etc) and stress table (API, ASM, DNV etc), and material. Hoop stress is calculated using Barlow's formula. For offshore pipelines either the pipe outside diameter or the mid wall diameter can be used to calculate hoop stress. The test pressure and hoop stress should be checked for all elevations. Use the Result Plot option to plot the required test pressure versus elevation, or hoop stress verus elevation for user defined test pressure.
