ASTM A53 B Carbon Steel Pipes - Allowable Pressure vs. Schedule and Size

Sponsored Links

Maximum allowable pressure is calculated with the Barlow's formula for A53 Grade B Seamless and Welded Standard Steel Pipe with Yield Strength 35000 psi and design factor 0.7.

Allowable stress used in the Barlow's formula is calculated as

(35000 psi) 0.7 = 24500 psi

Note! - in codes like ASME B31.3 modified versions of the Barlow's formula - like the Boardman formula and the Lame formula - are used to calculate burst and allowable pressures and minimum wall thickness.

The dimensions - outside pipe diameters and wall thicknesses are according ANSI B36.10.
