Estimate Burst Pressure Of Steel Pipes Or Tubes by yaang.com

DataTime:[2015-9-20]

Barlow's formula can be used to estimate burst pressure of steel pipes or tubes.

P = 2 s t / (do SF)

where

P = max. working pressure (psig)

s = material strength (psi)

t = wall thickness (in)

do = outside diameter (in)

SF = safety factor (in general 1.5 to 10)

The Barlow's estimate is based on ideal conditions at room temperature.

Material Strength

The strength of a material is determined by the tensile strength tension test, which measure the tension force and the deformation of the test specimen.

  • the stress which gives a permanent deformation of 0.2% is called the yield strength
  • the stress which gives rupture is called the ultimate strength
