Pipe Bend Calculation
Code: ASME B31.1
Edition: 2007
Design Data:
Design Pressure: 39bar (550Psig)
Design Temperature: 700F
Pipe Material: ASTM A106 Gr B, Seamless
Pipe Size: 4 (100NB)
Corrosion Allowance: 1.6mm (0.062)
Sample Calculation:
Step-I
Pipe Design Thickness Formula
P = Internal design gauge pressure.
Do = Outside Diameter of pipe as listed in tables of standards or specifcations or as
measured.
S = Allowable Stress Value for material from Table A-1
E = Weld Joint Quality Factor from Table A-1A or A-1B
Y = Temperature Co-efcient from Table 304.1.1
A = Additional allowance
550 x 4.5
tm = 2(15600 + 550 x 0.4) + 0.062
tm = 0.14022
Required Thickness
tm
tr = 0.875
0.014022
= 0.875 tr = 0.16025
From Asme B 36.10 Schedule 30 and thickness = 0.188
When Pipe is ordered by its nominal wall thickness (Pipe size 4 schedule=30)
Step-II
To Compensate for Thinning in bends
Wall thickness for ordering Pipe prior to bending is according to table Table 102.4.5

Radius of Bend= 5Pipe diameter & thickness tm=1.08tm
Thickness 1.08tm= 1.08 x 0.14022(Pipe thickness) = 0.1514
Step-III
Where
P = Internal design gauge pressure, psig [Kpa (gage)]
Do = Outside Diameter of pipe, in (mm)
S = Allowable Stress Value for material from Table A-1
E = Weld Joint Quality Factor from Table A-1
I = Thickness of (intrados & extrudes)
Y = Coefcients having the values as given in the tables 104.1.2(A)
tm = Min. required thickness including Corrosion Allowance, in (mm)
A = Additional Thickness, in (mm)

Step-VI
Thickness of Intrados
550 x 4.5
tm = 2(15600/1.06 + 550 x 0.4) + 0.062
tm = 0.1448
Thickness of Extrudes
550 x 4.5
tm = 2(15600/0.9494 + 550 x 0.4) + 0.062
tm = 0.13631

Asme B 36.10 Schedule 30 and thickness = 0.188 this value comparing step II &
step VI in this which value come grater this value give for pipe ordering

Pipe Bend thickness calculations using the Lorenz equation are not available in the
standard ASME B31.3 Edition 2006.
ASME B31.3 Edition is not available till date.
Pipe thickness from ASME B 36.10 consider as wall thickness for ordering Pipe
