How to calculate /Select wall thickness of pipe (Part 1)

🚀 ASME B31.3 Course - Episode 12: Mastering Pipe Wall Thickness Calculation
Greetings, Engineers!
Welcome to the 12th session of the ASME B31.3 Course with Ali Nouri. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the critical topic of pressure design for piping components, specifically focusing on straight pipes.
🔍 Key Takeaways:
Listed vs. Unlisted Components: Understand the classification of piping components and the significance of standards specified in table 326.1.
Material Matters: Discover how the choice of material influences the standard specified for pipes. Learn about ASME B36.10M for Wrought Steel Pipe and B36.19M for Stainless Steel Pipe.
Dimensional Insights: Grasp the dimensions of pipes, including Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) and Outside Diameter, and the logical relationships defined by ASME B36.10M.
Wall Thickness Methods: Explore the three methods for specifying wall thickness - Identification (STD, XS, XXS), Schedule No., and API 5L. Understand the safety considerations and cost optimization strategies behind each method.
Schedule No. Significance: Delve into the Schedule No. method and its importance, especially in the context of carbon steel and stainless steel pipes.
API 5L Philosophy: Uncover the philosophy behind the wide range of thicknesses presented by API 5L, specifically designed for ordering and manufacturing line pipes.
DN vs. NPS: Compare Nominal Diameter (DN) with Nominal Pipe Size (NPS), unraveling the logical relationship for sizes NPS=4 and larger.
Pressure Design Calculation: Learn the intricacies of calculating the minimum required pipe wall thickness (“tm”) based on ASME B31.3 standards. Explore the formula involving design conditions, stress values, quality factors, and weld joint strength reduction factors.
