Cold Temperature use of A106-B Piping

This calculator can help determine if a straight section of A106-B pipe can be used in a temperature
below the minimum allowable temperature, without the need for impact testing.

To use this calculator, adjust the parameters in the orange boxes as required. The answer box (below)
will inform you if the temperature reduction is allowable.
