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 B31.4 Liquid Pipeline Allowable Stress   ±

Calculate ASME B31.4 oil and liquid pipeline allowable stress for onshore and offshore pipelines.

Select the appropriate stress table (API, ASM, DNV etc), and material. Use the Result Table option to display the results for the selected stress table (click the Result Table button on the plot bar, then click the make table button). For metal pipeline the pressure design thickness equals the nominal wall thickness minus the corrosion allowance. Fabrication tolerance is ignored.

CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31.1 Power Piping Allowable Stress   ±

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.

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. The calculations use US standard units. Change input and output units on the setup page. Refer to the help pages for notes on the data tables (click the resources button on the data bar). Use the workbook ASME B31.1 data tables to look up allowable stress data.

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.

CALCULATOR MODULE : Pipeline Allowable Stress   ±

Calculate pipeline allowable stress from the specified minimum yield stress (SMYS) and the design factor (EF).

The SMYS is calculated from the pipe stress tables (API, ASME or DNV). The design factor equals the quality factor multiplied by the stress factor (EF = E x F). The quality factor (E) can be used to account for either casting defects, or longitudinal weld joint effects. The stress factor (F) is used to account for design risks (for high risks use a low design factor etc). Use the Result Table option to display the results for the selected stress table.

The allowable stress is calculated from the SMYS, diameter and wall thickness. The allowable pressure is calculated so that the hoop stress equals the allowable stress, allowing for pipe wall allowances. Use the Result Table option to display the calculated stress and allowable pressure values.
