Notes / Instructions for the user:
This Spreadsheet enables quick reference and calulations for maximum allowable pressure
for a user identified service for in plant process piping, liquid and gas pipelines. This is also
useful for operations persons doing modifications on the pipelines and piping as well as for
preliminery design checks. This is not meant to replace a systematic design
performed with full referencing to the precise applicable clauses/sub-clauses of
the relavant codes and standards.
The spreadsheet enables to find the allowable internal pressure in process plant piping as
per ASME B31.3. Also on the same spreadsheet a provision has been made to check its
pressure compatibility of the pipeline portion with either ASME B31.4 (Liquid Hydrocarbon
pipelines) or ASME B31.8 (Gas pipelines).
For example, assume that a pump discharge piping located inside the plant -A is routed to
another plant - B, several miles away. So the integrity of the entire system is divided into
piping in the plant - A (built as per B31.3), the pipeline between the two plants (built as per
B31.4 for liquids or B31.8 for gas pipelines as the case may be) and the piping in the plant -
B (built as per B31.3), can be checked simultaneously using this spreadsheet.
3. Please note that the calculations in table are done using some values. A user can use
each row for the sizes and input data of his requirement by inserting the values in black
cells. Blue font cells contain standard commercial pipe data already incorporated in the
spreadsheet. Calculated results are in Green font cells. User should know nominal pipe size,
schedule no., material, material grade, method of pipe production (ERW, Seamleass etc.),
design temperature, location for gas lines, and corrosion allowance to be given.
Type A construction also applicable to "Liquid Petroleum Transportation Piping Code." ANSI
B31.4-1979. Users may refer to the latest versions of the ASME Standards and GPSA book
for correctness. Some of the tables are from older versions.
Please note that the Table nos. mentioned the worksheets Table 1,2,3 & 4, FIG. 17-23, 24,
25, 26, 27 & 28 (The letters T, F, Y, E are added on each sheet name along with Table or Fig
no. so that you can quickly select the appropriate reference worksheet) refer to the table
nos. in GPSA book / Applicable Standard from where they are produced.
Pipelines sizes can be 2" and 3" also. But the spreadsheet is developed from 4" onwards.
For any interpretation clarifications of Stress Values, notes and material related factors or
data, always refer to the Engineers who are well versed with codes interpretation or
assigned with material department.

Working Pressures Refinery Piping
To determine allowable internal working pressure for straight sections of
pipe in accordance with ANSI B31.3, "Code for Pressure Piping, Petroleum
Refinery Piping", use the following:
where:
tm = minimum required thickness, satisfying requirements for
pressure, and mechanical, corrosion, and erosion allowances,
inches. (The minimum thickness for the pipe selected,
considering manufacturers minus tolerance, shall not be less
then tm).
t = pressure design thickness, in.
c = the sum of the mechanical allowances (thread depth and
groove depth), corrosion, and erosion allowances, in.
Pi = internal design pressure, psig.
do = outside diameter of pipe, in.
S' = allowable stresses, psi.
E' = longitudinal weld joint factor:
Seamless = 1.000, ERW = 0.85
Y' = coefficient having values for ferritic steels as follows:
0.4 up to and including 900F
0.5 for 950F
0.7 for 1,000F and above
Working Pressures Transmission lines
To determine allowable internal working pressure for piping outside of
refineries and other processing facilities in accordance with ANSI B31.8-

use the following:
where:
Pi = Design pressure, psig

(3) Only killed steel shall be used above 850F (455C)

(5) At temperatures over 1000F (540C), use only when the carbon content is 0.04 pe
(6) For temperatures above 1000F (540F), use only if the material is heat treated by
temperature of at least 1900F (1040C) and quenching in water or rapidly coolin
