Pipeline Nominal Pressure Modules

CALCULATOR MODULE : Plastic Pipe Rated Pressure   ±

Calculate plastic pipe maximum allowable design pressure from pipe schedule diameter and wall thickness or dimension ratio.

Use the Result Table option to display the results for the selected pipe diameter. The dimension ratio is based on the Renard R10 series. The standard dimension ratio SDR equals R10 + 1 and is calculated from the outside diameter divided by the pressure design wall thickness. The standard internal dimension ratio SIDR equals R10 - 1 and is calculated from the inside diameter divided by the pressure design wall thickness. The pressure design wall thickness is equal to the nominal wall thickness minus the fabrication allowance and the mechanical allowance. The mechanical allowance includes allowances for threads, machining, glueing, corrosion, erosion, and mechanical damage.

The allowable pressure can be calculated directly from the dimension ratio and the minimum required strength (MRS). A service design coefficient (C value) of 1.25 is suitable for water pipes. For other fluids a higher C value should be used.

CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31.4 Liquid Pipeline Design Pressure   ±

Calculate ASME B31.4 oil and liquid pipeline maximum allowable design pressure from pressure design wall thickness and allowable stress.

For subsea pipelines the allowable pressure is the maximum allowable local pressure difference across the pipe wall. The pressure difference equals the internal pressure minus the external pressure. For onshore pipelines the allowable pressure is the maximum allowable local internal pressure. The local internal and external pressure varies with elevation. Use the Result Table option to display the allowable pressure for the selected pipe diameter schedule.

CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31.8 Gas Pipeline Design Pressure   ±

Calculate ASME B31.8 gas pipeline maximum allowable design pressure from allowable stress and pressure design wall thickness.

For onshore pipelines and offshore platform piping the allowable pressure is the maximum allowable design pressure for the pipeline location class and facility type. For submerged offshore pipelines the allowable pressure is the maximum allowable pressure difference (internal pressure minus external pressure). Use the Result Table option on the plot bar to display the allowable pressure for the selected pipe diameter.

CALCULATOR MODULE : API RP 1102 Pipeline Design Stress And Design Pressure   ±

Calculate API RP 1102 pipeline allowable stress and maximum allowable design pressure from wall thickness.

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.
