CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31G Pipe Corrosion Defect ±
Calculate ASME B31G piping level 0 corrosion defect assessment for blunt defects (corrosion defects or other defects). The level 0 assessment is useful as a screening check. The allowable defect length is calculated from the maximum defect depth. The calculation is taken from ASME B31G 1999 (original ASME B31G). The level 0 check is suitable for blunt defects of all types, including corrosion, mechanical damage and grinding repairs etc. For crack type defects the NG-18 crack defect calculators are recommended. The RSTRENG method (effective area method) can also be used for blunt type defects. The temperature derating calculation is from ASME B31.8. Material specific test data should be used if it is available. Defects failing the level 0 check should be checked with a level 1 or level 2 assessment (see module links below). Use the level 1 assessment for simple defects from defect length and depth using either the original ASME B31G equation, or the modified ASME B31G equation. Use the level 2 assessment for complex defects from the defect river bottom profile.

CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31G Level 1 Defect Assessment ±
Calculate ASME B31G level 1 corrosion defect assessment for blunt type defects. The level 1 assessment calculates the allowable pressure from the maximum defect depth and defect length, using either the original ASME B31G method (1999), or the modified ASME B31G method. Pressure derating is required if the allowable pressure is less than the maximum operating pressure. The flow stress can be calculated as either 1.1 x SMYS, SMYS + 69 MPa, or 1/2 (SMYS + SMTS). For pipelines operating at high temperature, the SMYS and SMTS should be derated. For submerged pipelines, or to calculate the allowable pressure at a reference elevation, use the level 1 calculator including elevation. The allowable local pressure is calculated including external pressure (use the external pressure = 0 for dry pipelines). The allowable reference pressure is calculated from the local allowable pressure, and the relative elevation. ASME B31G is suitable for blunt defects of all types, including corrosion, mechanical damage and grinding repairs etc. For crack type defects the NG-18 crack defect calculators are recommended. The effective area method can also be used for blunt defects. Reference : ANSI/ASME B31G Manual For Determining The Remaining Strength Of Corroded Pipelines (2012) Change Module : Related Modules : |
CALCULATOR MODULE : ASME B31G Level 2 Defect Assessment ±
Calculate ASME B31G level 2 corrosion defect assessment for blunt type defects. The level 2 assessment calculates the allowable pressure from the defect "river bottom" profile using the effective area method (also known as the RSTRENG method). Pressure derating is required if the allowable pressure is less than the maximum operating pressure. The flow stress can be calculated as either 1.1 x SMYS, SMYS + 69 MPa, or 1/2 (SMYS + SMTS). For pipelines operating at high temperature, the SMYS and SMTS should be derated. For submerged pipelines, or to calculate the allowable pressure at a reference elevation, use the level 1 and level 2 calculators including elevation. The allowable local pressure is calculated including external pressure (use the external pressure = 0 for dry pipelines). The allowable reference pressure is calculated from the local allowable pressure, and the relative elevation. ASME B31G is suitable for blunt defects of all types, including corrosion, mechanical damage and grinding repairs etc. For crack type defects the NG-18 crack defect calculators are recommended. The effective area method can also be used for blunt defects. Reference : ANSI/ASME B31G Manual For Determining The Remaining Strength Of Corroded Pipelines (2012) Change Module : Related Modules : |

Use the level 2 assessment for complex defects from the defect river bottom profile using the RSTRENG method or effective area method.

CALCULATOR MODULE : PRCI PR 3805 RSTRENG Level 1 0.85 RSTRENG ±
Calculate the PR-3-805 RSTRENG level 1 (0.85 RSTRENG) corrosion defect assessment for blunt defects. Use the level 1 caculators to calculate the allowable pressure from the maximum defect depth and the defect length using the 0.85 RSTRENG method. Pressure derating is required if the allowable pressure is less than the maximum operating pressure. The measured pipe diameter and wall thickness should be used in the calculations. PR-3-805 RSTRENG is suitable for blunt corrosion defects and mechanical damage defects (eg from grinding). ASME B31G is also suitable for blunt defects. AGA NG-18 is suitable for crack type defects. The calculators which include elevation can be used to include external pressure, and to calculate the allowable pressure at a reference elevation (for Example to calculate the allowable pressure at the pressure control location). Set the external pressure = 0 for dry pipelines. For pipelines operating above 120 C the yield stress and ultimate stress should be derated. Material test data should be used if it is available. Flow stress can be calculated using either the RSTRENG equation, or the ASME equation.

CALCULATOR MODULE : PRCI PR 3805 RSTRENG Flow Stress ±
Calculate PR-3-805 RSTRENG flow stress from SMYS and SMTS. Flow stress can be calculated by three methods - Sf = 1.1 x SMYS (Plain Carbon Steel T < 120 C and Sf < SMTS) original ASME B31G
- Sf = SMYS + 69 MPA (SMYS ≤ 483 MPa, T < 120 C and Sf < SMTS) RSTRENG
- Sf = (SYT + SUT) / 2 (SMYS ≤ 551 MPa) modified ASME B31G
SYT and SUT are the temperature derated yield stress and tensile stress for temperatures above 120 C. The derating factors are valid up to 232 C (450 F). Material specific stress data should be used if it is available.
