Pipe Wall Thickness (ASME B31.3)

This document contains calculations for determining the required wall thickness of pressure piping according to AS4041 and ASME B31.3 standards. It evaluates the wall thickness for straight sections of pipe and bends. For straight sections, it calculates the maximum allowable design pressure and required wall thickness. For bends, it determines the pressure design wall thickness at the intrados and extrados, and notes that the intrados thickness should increase while the extrados decreases due to material loss during bending. It recommends increasing the extrados required thickness by 1.1-1.125 times to determine the nominal pipe thickness required.

Problem with AS4041 formula compared to ASME B31.3 formula.


The intrados should get thicker and the extrados thinner.
As thickness is "lost"during the bending process, it would be normal
to multiply the required wall thickness at the extrados by a factor of
1.1 to 1.125 dependent upon how "tight"the bend radius is. The resulting
value will give the nominal thickness of pipe required for bending.

The resulting
