F = design factor based on nominal wall thickness,Code. The value of F used in this Code shall be not greater than 0.72.
(b) The allowable stress value S to be used for design calculations in para. 404.1.2 for used (reclaimed) pipe of known specifica
accordance with (a) above and limitations in para. 405.2.1(b).
(c) The allowable stress value S to be used for design calculations in para. 404.1.2 for new or used (reclaimed)
pipe of unknown or ASTM A 120 specification shall be established in accordance with the following and limitations in para. 405
S =F x E minimum yield strength of the pipe, psi (MPa) [24,000 psi (165 MPa)] or yield strength determined in accordance wit
and 437.6.7] where E = weld joint factor (see Table 402.4.3) F = design factor based on nominal wall thickness.
In setting design factor, due consideration has been given to and allowance has been made for the underthickness tolerance a
allowable depth of imperfections provided for in the specifications approved by the Code. The value of F used in this Code sha
than 0.72.
(d) The allowable stress value S to be used for design calculations in para. 404.1.2 for pipe which has been cold worked in orde
specified minimum yield strength and is subsequently heated to 600°F (300°C) or higher (welding expected) shall be 75% of th
allowable stress value as determined by
para. 402.3.1(a), (b), or (c).
(e) Allowable stress values in shear shall not exceed 45% of the specified minimum yield strength of the pipe, and allowable st
bearing shall not exceed 90% of the specified minimum yield strength of the pipe.
(f) Allowable tensile and compressive stress values for materials used in structural supports and restraints shall not exceed 66
specified minimum yield strength. Allowable stress values in shear and bearing shall not exceed 45% and 90% of the specified
strength, respectively. Steel materials of unknown specifications may be used for structural supports and restraints, provided
of 24,000 psi (165 MPa) or less is used.
(g) In no case where the Code refers to the specified minimum value of a physical property shall a higher value of the property
establishing the allowable stress value.
(h) Where indicated by service or location, users of this Code may elect to use a design factor, F, less
than 0.72.
