Parker Hannifn Corporation
Parfex Division
Ravenna, OH
Catalog Number 4200-M-2
General Technical Information
Reference:
Pressure data for metal tubing is taken
from American National Standard Code for Pressure
Piping, “Power Piping, ANSI B31.1 – B30-1993A
Edition.” The values stated for operating (opr.)
pressure are the maximum internal service pressure
determined using the calculated burst pressure and
an associated design factor. The equations and
stress values were extracted from the above listed
document.
Pressure data for Parker stainless steel tubing is
derived from the relation:

Burst Pressure = K D-0.8t
where K = effciency of weld (0.85);
(K = 1 for seamless)
s = tensile strength of stainless steel (psi)
D = tube O.D., in inches
t = tube wall thickness in inches
The operating pressure is taken to be 25% of the
burst pressure, which is a 4 to 1 design factor.
