# Pipe Pressure per ASME B31.1 (104.1.2)

Written by Jerry Ratzlaff on . Posted in Pipe

The pressure rating of comparable pipe material to fitting material.

## Pipe Pressure per ASME B31.1 (104.1.2) formula

 $$\large{ p = \frac { 2\;S\; \left( t \;-\; c \right) } { OD \;-\; 2\;y\; \left( t \;-\; c \right) } }$$

### Where:

$$\large{ p }$$ = pressure rating

$$\large{ c }$$ = allowable corrosion

$$\large{ S }$$ = allowable stress

$$\large{ y }$$ = ASME B31.1, Table 104.1.2 (0.4 if temperature is less than 900°F)

$$\large{ OD }$$ = outside diameter of pipe

$$\large{ t }$$ = wall thickness of pipe
