Example Lec 8

The document provides calculations for the bursting pressure and safe working pressure of a 4-inch lap-welded steel pipe made from ASTM A106 Grade B material at 600°F. The bursting pressure is calculated to be 18,855.29 psi, while the safe working pressure is determined to be 9,480.3 psi for temperatures up to 250°F. The calculations utilize specific formulas and material properties related to the pipe's dimensions and tensile strength.

Example:

Calculate the Bursting Pressure, Safe Working Pressure for the

Nominal Pipe Size (NPS): 4 inches, for lap-welded steel pipe

 Outside Diameter (OD): 114.3 mm , 1134.3/25.4 = 4.5 inches (from the table).

 Wall Thickness (tm): 6.02 inches (Schedule 40 from the table).

 Material: ASTM A106 Grade B

 Temperature 600°F

 Tensile Strength (ST): 17.9 ksi (17,900 psi).


Bursting Pressure (Pb )

Formula:

Substitute values:

Dm=OD

2 ×17,900 ×6.02
Pb= =18,855.29 psi
11.43
Bursting Pressure: 18,855.29 psi

For temperatures up to 250 ̊F, the recommended safe working stress is 9000 psi for lap-welded steel
pipe

2× 9000 ×6.02
P 2= =9,480.3 psi
11.43

Safe Working Pressure: 9,480.3 psi
