• 429 bar at +100º C
• 418 bar at +150º C
• 406 bar at +200º C
1.2 MECHANICAL PROPERTIES.

• Yield strength at +200º C Re (@T) 201,2 MPa
1.3 TUBE OUTSIDE DIAMETERS.

1.3.1 Imperial sizes.

• OD: 1/4 inch = 6,35 mm
• OD: 3/8 inch = 9,53 mm
• OD: 1/2 inch = 12,7 mm
1.3.2 Metric sizes.
• OD: 6 mm
• OD: 10 mm
• OD: 12 mm
1.4 WALL THICKNESS TOLERANCES.
Tolerances in accordance with ASTM B 423.
Plus or minus 10% for seamless and welded tubes.

2.0 DESIGN PRESSURE (P in MPa).

• 690 bar for API 10.000 psi systems.
• 406 bar for ASME rated systems (See also table in § 3.0)

3.0 DESIGN STRESSES (f in MPa).

• For API 10000 psi series: f = 143,52 MPa @ +120º C as per table A-4 of ASME B31.1.

• For ASME rated tubing the larger value of P/f dictates the design temperature.

Temperature in º C. RT 100 150 200

P in bar 431 429 418 406
f = 0,67 Re @ T in MPa 161,47 147,19 140,77 134,80
P/f 2.67 2,91 2,97 3,01

For ASME rated tubing f = 134,80 N/mm2 (MPa).

4.0 CALCULATIONS.

4.1 CALCULATION METHODES.

The nominal wall thickness is calculated in accordance with D0201 of "Dutch Rules for
Pressure Vessels" based on the formula:

P * Do
d min. =
2*z*f+P

• z = strength reduction coefficient (= 1)

• f = design stress (N/mm2) as per ASME Section II, table Y-1
• P = design pressure (MPa)
• d. min = minimum wall thickness (mm)

Remarks:

d min. 0,3 * Di

In case d min. > 0,3 * Di (applies to API 10000 psi series) the nominal wall thickness is
calculated in accordance with ASME B31.1 "Power Piping" based on the formula:

P * Do
d min. = +A
2 (f + P*y)

• A = additional thickness (=0)

• f = design stress (N/mm2) as per ASME B31.1, table A-4.
• P = design pressure (MPa)
• d. min = minimum wall thickness (mm)
• Do = outside diameter (mm)
• Di = inside diameter (mm)
• y = stress distibution factor (in accordance with table 104.1.2(A) of ASME B31)
