An indispensable tool designed to help engineers and project managers determine the maximum internal pressure that steel pipes can safely withstand. This calculator uses Barlow’s Formula, a trusted method in the industry, to ensure accurate and reliable results.
How to Use the Calculator:
- Enter Allowable Stress: Input the allowable tensile or yield stress of the pipe material in pounds per square inch (PSI).
- Input Wall Thickness: Provide the wall thickness of the pipe in inches.
- Input Outside Diameter: Enter the outside diameter of the pipe in inches.
- Calculate Pressure Rating: Once the values are entered, the calculator will compute the pipe's pressure rating in pounds per square inch gauge (psig).
Understanding the Calculation:
Barlow’s Formula is expressed as: 𝑃 = 2×𝑠×𝑡×𝐷
P=D2×s×t
where:
- P is the pressure rating in psig.
- s is the allowable stress in psi.
- t is the wall thickness in inches.
- D is the outside diameter in inches.
This formula ensures that the calculated pressure rating reflects the pipe's capacity to handle internal pressures based on its material strength, wall thickness, and diameter.
Why This Calculator is Essential:
- Project Safety: It helps ensure that the chosen pipe specifications meet safety standards under expected operational pressures.
- Design Efficiency: It aids in selecting the appropriate pipe dimensions and materials for specific applications, optimizing both cost and performance.
- Regulatory Compliance: It supports compliance with industry standards and engineering practices.
