AGA NG18 Flow Stress

Calculate AGA NG-18 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)
  • Sf = SMYS + 69 MPA (SMYS ≤ 483 MPa, T < 120 C and Sf < SMTS)
  • Sf = (SYT + SUT) / 2 (SMYS ≤ 551 MPa)

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.

CALCULATOR : AGA NG-18 Derated Yield Stress And Tensile Stress [FREE]   ±

Calculate the derated yield stress, ultimate stress and flow stress for steel pipelines operating above 120 C for AGA NG-18.

Derating is calculated according to ASME B31.8. The derating factors are valid upto 232 C (450 F) only. For temperatures above 232 C (450 F) use material specific data. The derating factor is assumed to be valid for yield stress and tensile stress.
