ASTM A269 tubing allowable working pressure is calculated at -20 to 100
℉
(-28 to 37
℃
) using allowable stress value
of 20,000 psi according to ASME B31.3 Code.
Pressure calculations are based on
maximum O.D. and minimum wall thickness
and no allowance is made for
corrosion and erosion. i.e., ASTM A269 1/2 in. OD x 0.035 in.: OD tolerance ± 0.005 in., WT tolerance ± 15%.
Calculations are based on 0.505
in.ODx 0.0298 in. WT.
Safety Factor is 3.75 to 1, considering ultimate tensile strength of 75,000 psi.
For working pressure according to ASME B31.1, multiply the ASME 31.3 rating by 0.94.
