Hello to everybody, I need to calculate the increased wall tickness for a line pipe and I need the formula for that. Can anyone give me an equation or direct me a website where I can find info, I really appreciate iT. Thanks

RE: ?ncreased wall tickness according to ansi/asme b31.8

Use Barlow's formula;

Hoop stress = [Pressure x outer pipe diameter]/[2 x wall thickness]

thank you vey much. is this the formula in the ansi/asme b31.8. I am sorry ? am not very familiar with the concept

yes

baranhalis,

Actually, metengr is not completely correct, there's more to it than that.

The following factors are also included in the equation:

Temperature Derating
Longitudinal Joint Factor
Design Factor

Get yourself a copy of B31.8 and refer to paragraph 841.11, Steel Pipe Design Formula. The complete formula is here as well as direction where to get the values for your factors.
