B31.8 Corrosion Allowance

B31.8 Corrosion Allowance

(OP)
Does B31.8 require corosion allowance when calculating min wall thickness?

RE: B31.8 Corrosion Allowance

not that i'm aware - at least CA is not mentioned in B31.8 for determining min wall thickness.

hope this helps.

RE: B31.8 Corrosion Allowance

B31.8 does not require a corrosion allowance.  You may include extra thickness over and above the reqired minimum at your discretion.  In fact, no code that I know of requires a corrosion allowance at all.
