- 1 psi (lb/in2) = 6,894.8 Pa (N/m2) = 6.895x10-2 bar
Allowable pressure is calculated with the ASME 31.3 Allowable Pressure Equation with quality factor E = 0.6 and wall thickness coefficient Y = 0.4.
Example - Allowable Pressure Calculation
Allowable pressure for a 4" sch. 40 stainless steel pipe with temperature 100oF, allowable stress 16700 psi, quality factor E = 0.6 and wall thickness coefficient Y = 0.4 - can be calculated with ASME 31.3 Allowable Pressure Equation 1b
p = 2 (0.237 in) (16700 psi) (0.6) / ((4.5 in) - 2 (0.237) 0.4)
= 1102 psi
