pipe thickness asme b 31.8 design calculation

download pipe thickness asme b 31.8 design calculation pipe thickness asme b 31.8 design ASME B31.8 is often used as the design standard for natural gas piping systems in several facilities, such as compressor stations, gas processing facilities, metering stations, storage tanks and gas transporting pipeline. The design pressure for steel gas piping systems or the nominal wall thickness for a given design pressure shall be determined. This is the wall thickness computed using an applicable equation such as those stated in paragraph 841.1.1 of ASME B31.8 or any other applicable code. The nominal wall thickness computed may be used to order the pipe with or without allowance to compensate for under thickness.
