INTERNAL PRESSURE OF PIPING & PIPELINES

DATA
Standard Values - Commercial pipe data from tables
User Input Values - Taken & inserted by the User from the tables of Codes, GPSA book or specified by self
Calculated Value
Notes / Instructions for the user:
1
This Spreadsheet enables quick reference and calulations for maximum allowable pressure
for a user identified service for in plant process piping, liquid and gas pipelines. This is also
useful for operations persons doing modifications on the pipelines and piping as well as for
preliminery design checks. This is not meant to replace a systematic design performed
with full referencing to the precise applicable clauses/sub-clauses of the relavant codes
and standards.
2 The spreadsheet enables to find the allowable internal pressure in process plant piping as
per ASME B31.3. Also on the same spreadsheet a provision has been made to check its
pressure compatibility of the pipeline portion with either ASME B31.4 (Liquid Hydrocarbon
pipelines) or ASME B31.8 (Gas pipelines).
For example, assume that a pump discharge piping located inside the plant -A is routed to
another plant - B, several miles away. So the integrity of the entire system is divided into
piping in the plant - A (built as per B31.3), the pipeline between the two plants (built as per
B31.4 for liquids or B31.8 for gas pipelines as the case may be) and the piping in the plant B (built as per B31.3), can be checked simultaneously using this spreadsheet.

3. Please note that the calculations in table are done using some values. A user can use
each row for the sizes and input data of his requirement by inserting the values in black
cells. Blue font cells contain standard commercial pipe data already incorporated in the
spreadsheet. Calculated results are in Green font cells. User should know nominal pipe size,
schedule no., material, material grade, method of pipe production (ERW, Seamleass etc.),
design temperature, location for gas lines, and corrosion allowance to be given.
4
Type A construction also applicable to "Liquid Petroleum Transportation Piping Code." ANSI
B31.4-1979. Users may refer to the latest versions of the ASME Standards and GPSA book
for correctness. Some of the tables are from older versions.
5
Please note that the Table nos. mentioned the worksheets Table 1,2,3 & 4, FIG. 17-23, 24,
25, 26, 27 & 28 (The letters T, F, Y, E are added on each sheet name along with Table or Fig
no. so that you can quickly select the appropriate reference worksheet) refer to the table
nos. in GPSA book / Applicable Standard from where they are produced.
6
Pipelines sizes can be 2" and 3" also. But the spreadsheet is developed from 4" onwards.
7 For any interpretation clarifications of Stress Values, notes and material related factors or
data, always refer to the Engineers who are well versed with codes interpretation or
assigned with material department.

Working Pressures Refinery Piping
To determine allowable internal working pressure for straight sections of pipe in
accordance with ANSI B31.3, "Code for Pressure Piping, Petroleum Refinery Piping",
use the following:
where:
tm = minimum required thickness, satisfying requirements for

pressure, and mechanical, corrosion, and erosion allowances,
inches.
(The minimum thickness for the pipe selected, considering
manufacturers
minus tolerance, shall not be less then tm).
t = pressure design thickness, in.
c = the sum of the mechanical allowances (thread depth and
groove depth), corrosion, and erosion allowances, in.
Pi = internal design pressure, psig.
do =
outside diameter of pipe, in.

S' = allowable stresses, psi.
E' = longitudinal weld joint factor:
Seamless = 1.000,
ERW = 0.85
Y' = coefficient having values for ferritic steels as follows:
0.4 up to and including 900:F
0.5 for 950:F
0.7 for 1,000:F and above

Working Pressures Transmission lines
To determine allowable internal working pressure for piping outside of refineries
and other processing facilities in accordance with ANSI B31.8-1992, "Code of
Pressure Pipign, Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping," use the following:
where:
Pi
= Design pressure, psig

S" = Specified minimum yield strength, psi

(a) Permissible but not recommended for prolonged use above 800:F
(d) Not to be used over 650:F
(f) Not to be used over 800:F
(g) Not to be used over 850:F
(h) Not to be used over 1000:F
Additional Notes:
(1) Upon prolonged exposure to temperatures above about 800:F (425:C), the carbide phase of carbonsteel
may be converted to graphite
(3) Only killed steel shall be used above 850:F (455:C)
(5) At temperatures over 1000:F (540:C), use only when the carbon content is 0.04 percent or higher
(6) For temperatures above 1000:F (540:F), use only if the material is heat treated by heating it to a
temperature of at least 1900:F (1040:C) and quenching in water or rapidly cooling by other means.
