SCOPE
This calculation refers to wall thickness for stations piping for Prai II Lateral Gas Pipeline
Project (PRISM).

METHODOLOGY
a)

Wall thickness calculation

The minimum required pipe wall thickness for each system shall be calculated
based on ASME B31.8-2010.

Calculation was based on ASME B31.8 (2010), Clause 841.11,

CONCLUSION
The proposed pipe wall thicknesses obtained are higher than the required minimum
thickness calculated based on the ASME B31.8-2010.
The calculated hoop stress is lower than the allowable hoop stress by the code.
Thus the selected thickness are acceptable for the project.
