2. PRESSURE DESIGN WALL THICKNESS

Based on ASME B31.8, the pressure design wall thickness is calculated by
the following formula:

𝑃�/2𝑆𝐹𝐸�
t=

Where,
t = pressure design wall thickness, inch
 P = design pressure, psig
D = outside diameter, inch
S = specified minimum yield strength, psi
F = design factor
= 0.8 location class 1, division 1
= 0.72 location class 1, division 2
= 0.6 location class 2
= 0.5 location class 3
= 0.4 location class 4
= 0.6 location class 1, division 2 for
road crossing
= 0.5 location class 2, division 3 for
road crossing
E = Longitudinal joint factor
= 1 for API 5 L submerged arc Welded Pipes

T = Temperature Derating Factor

1 for temperature 250 F or less
1 inch = 25.4 mm
