Data de = 219,1 mm
Pipe (CS) material (Note 0)
Weld joint type (Note1) S 2.-Material allowable stress (Note 3)
Nominal diameter dn = 8 in ASME B31.1,Table A-1 (sheet 3)
Design pressure P= 3 MPa sallow = 137,9 MPa (Sheet 3)
Design temperature temp = 60 ºC
Corrosion allowance TC = 3 mm 3.- Quality factor "E" for the given longitudinal weld type
Thread (Yes/No) Thread = No (Note 4)
Material: A 106 Gr. B and a longitudinal weld
1.-Basic thickness (Internal pressure design thickness) type: S
The basic thickness " tbasic " is calculated according equation ASME B31.3, Tabla A-1B gives
(3a of ASME B31.3 paragraph 304.1.2 E= 1 (Sheet 4)

Basic thickness 5.- "y" coefficient for equation (3a)

Tabla 304.1.1 should be used for t < d/6
P  de d= 219,1 mm
tbasic  Eq. (3a )
2    E  P  Y  d/6 = 36,51666667 mm Correct. tNom < d/6
ASME 304.1.1-304.2.1, Table 304.1.1. gives for: (Note 5)
material type:
tbasic: design thickness by pressure [mm]
P: design internal pressure [Mpa gauge] and Temperature: 60 ºC
de: pipe exterior diameter [mm] "y coefficient"
s: material allowable stress [MPa] y= 0,4 (Sheet 5)
E: Quality factor [-]
Y: coefficient from Table 304.1.1 [-] 6.- Basic thickness acc. B31.3 (3a)
tbasic = P * de / ( 2* (st,max * E + P* Y) )
P= 3 MPa
de = 219,1 mm
st,max = 137,9 MPa
E= 1 -
y= 0,4 -
tbasic = 2,36 mm

7. Thread depth (Note 7) Other check

Thread = No
For a.- Nominal thickness
dn = 8 in tnom = 12,7 mm
NT = 8 threads/inch (Note 8)
TD = 0,00 mm (Nota 9)
b.- Worst case of nominal thickness
8.- Allowances (Over Thickness) tnom:WC = tnom * 0.875
tallowances = TC + TD tnom = 12,7 mm
TC = 3,00 mm tnom.WC = 11,11 mm
TD = 0,00 mm
tallowances = 3,00 mm c.- Basic thickness
tbasic = 2,36 mm
9.- Schedule selected (Note 10)
Sch = 80 d.- Basic and Allowances thickness
tbasicAll = tbasic + tAllowances
10.- Nominal thickness tbasic = 2,36 mm
tnom = Pipe_Imp_CS_Thickness_dn_sch tallowances = 3,00 mm
dn = 8 in tbasicAll = 5,36 mm
Sch = 80
tnom = 12,7 mm
e.- Requisite
11.- Rated thickness tnom.WC >= tBasicAll
trated = tnom * 0.875 - tAllowances tnom.WC = 11,11 mm
tNom = 12,7 mm tbasicAll = 5,36 mm
tallowances = 3,00 mm Selected shedule is correct
trated = 8,11 mm
Dt = 5,75 mm
12.- Requisite
trated >= tBasic
trated = 8,11 mm
tBasic = 2,36 mm
Selected shedule is correct

Dt = 5,75 mm
Material allowable stress (Note 3)
t= 60 °C (For t < 38 °C, the table uses 38 °C)
Row = 2 (Selected material)

From sheet 3
Col_A = 3 tA = 37,8 °C sA = 137,9 MPa
Col_B = 4 tB = 93 °C sB = 137,9 MPa

S= sB + (sA - sB) * (tb - t)/(tb - ta)

S= 137,9 MPa

Factor "E" from sheet 4.- Tabla A-1B, Table A-1B (Note 4)

Material A 106
Welding type S
E-factor 1

Coeficiente "Y" for the temperature "t" (Note 5)

t= 482 °C (For t < 482 °C, the table uses 482 °C)
(For t > 621 °C, the table uses 621 °C)

Col_A = 1 tA = 482 °C YA = 0,4

Col_B = 2 tB = 510 °C YB = 0,5
