PIPE WALL THICKNESS CALCULATION

Fluid / Service : Hydrotest
Hexagonal Tube Material Specification : ASTM A312 TP 316L
Hexagonal Tube size                             : 1/2 in
Hexagonal Tube outside Diameter  (Do)                                      : 0.84 in
System Hydrotest pressure (P)                               : 12291.9 psig
Specified Minimum Yield Strength  (SMYS) : 25000 psig
Mill Tolerance : 12.5%
Operating Temprature : 45 C
Corrosion Allowance : 0.0mm
Maximum Allowed Working  Pressure at Corroded Condition : 8486.88 psig

The maximum allowable test pressure (MATP) for the Pipe (as per SAES-L-150) :
2 x 0.9 x SMSY X Tmin
P =
Do

P x Do
Tmin =
2 x 0.9 x SMSY

12291.9 x 0.84
Tmin =
2 x 0.9 x 25000

Tmin = 0.22 in

Selected Nominal wall thickness 'Tselc' is 0.219 in (sch 160)


Tselc = 0.219 x 0.875 (-12.5% Mill Tolerance)
Tselc = 0.1916 in
