Pipe material : CS to ASTM A 106 Gr.B Seamless
Pipe thickness : 3.73 mm (Schedule 80)
Minimum Tensile Strength of pipe
material at 20ºC, Ts
: 60,000 psi (42.18 kgf/mm2

Rolling Tolerence : -12.5 %

Piping thickness't' after rolling and Taking overall factor of
bending 3.73 (1- 12.5/100) x 0.925
= 0.925 for thickness
3.73 x 0.875 x 0.925 reduction as per
regulation 43(ii) of IBR
: 3.01896875 mm

Now, permissible working stress as per IBR regulation 350, Table 3 (year of publication 2000)
Ts/2.7 = 42.18/2.7 = 15.62 kg/mm2
(Refer regulation 38 © of IBR
or, Et/1.50 = 0.4/Ts = 0.4x42.18/1.5 = 11.248 kgf/mm2 for Et which is 40% of Ts)
Maximum working pressure allowable as per regulation 350(a) of IBR ( Year of publication 2000) is given by:-

WP = 2fe ( t-c) / (D-t+c)

Where,
WP = Maximum Working pressure in kgf/mm2
f = Allowable stress in kgf/mm2 which is lower value of Ts/2.7 and Et/1.5
= 11.248 kgf/mm2
e = Efficiency factor = 1.0 (for seamless pipes)
t = Minimum thickness of pipe in mm
c = Corrosion allowance = 0.75 mm
D = Outside diameter of pipe = 21.3 mm

Therefore, Maximum working pressure,

WP = 2fe (t-c)/D-t+c)
= 2 x11.248 1.0 ( 3.019 - 0.75 )
(x 21.3 - 3.019 + 0.75 )
= 51.042721
19.03103125
= 2.6820785658 kgf/mm2
= 268.2078565763 kgf/cm2
> 10 kgf/cm2 (Actual Working Pressure)

Hence, Design is safe
