Pipe Thickness Calculation ASME B31.3

This document provides data for calculating the minimum required pipe thickness for a 20" pipe based on ASME B31.3 standards. The pipe material is A106 Gr B, will operate at 3.56 kg/sq cm pressure and 95°C temperature, and carries a 3.2 mm corrosion allowance. The calculation determines the minimum thickness to be 3.84 mm. However, the chosen pipe has a thickness of 6.35 mm according to ASME B36.10, exceeding the minimum, so it is deemed safe.

PIPE THICKNESS CALCULATION BASED ON ASME B31.3 (Internal Pressure)

SECTION : MATERIAL : A 106 Gr B

ISO No. : PRESSURE : 3.56 Kg / sq.cm g

LINE : 20" TEMPERATURE : 95 deg. C

FORMULA :
ASME B31.3 - Sec.304.1.1 Where

t = PD t = Minimum Thickness (mm)


+C
2 (SEW + PY) D = Outside Diameter (mm) : 508
P = Pressure (Kg / sq.cm g) : 3.56
2
S = Allowable Stress (Kg / cm g) : 1406.2
E = Joint Efficiency in Table A-1 : 1
W = Weld joint strength reduction : 1
factor in para 302.3.5(e)
Y = Coefficient from Table 304.1.1 : 0.4
C = Corrosion Allowance (mm) : 3.2

NOTE:
1 All Pipe fittings are purchased to ASME B16.9 / ASME B16.11, So the manufacturing tolerance is
taken as 12.5% which is same as that of Pipe. Hence no additional thinning allowance is taken.
2 Calculated Thickness =( Nominal wall thickness ) / Mill Tolerance (Normally = 0.875)
3 Pipe OD & Thk. Based on ASME B 36.10 – 2000
4 Retirement thickness of Pipe is same as the minimum wall thickness, t
