ASME B31G. Failure pressure of the corroded pipe (original)

Calculate failure pressure of the corroded pipe according to Original B31G, Level-1 algorithm listed in ASME B31G-2012.

The next assumption of the corrosion shape is adopted by ASME B31G-2012:

There (a) is a parabolic and (b) is a rectangular idealizations of a corroded area.

Usage

b31gpf(d, wth, smys, depth, l)

Arguments

d

nominal outside diameter of pipe, [inch]. Type: assert_double.

wth

nominal wall thickness of pipe, [inch]. Type: assert_double.

smys

specified minimum yield of stress (SMYS) as a characteristics of steel strength, [PSI]. Type: assert_double.

depth

measured maximum depth of the corroded area, [inch]. Type: assert_double.

l

measured maximum longitudinal length of corroded area, [inch]. Type: assert_double.

Value

Estimated failure pressure of the corroded pipe, [PSI]. Type: assert_double.

Details

Since the definition of flow stress, Sflow, in ASME B31G-2012 is recommended with Level 1 as follows:

$$Sflow = 1.1SMYS$$

no other possibilities of its evaluation are incorporated.

For this code we avoid possible semantic optimization to preserve readability and correlation with original text description in ASME B31G-2012. At the same time source code for estimated failure pressure preserves maximum affinity with its semantic description in ASME B31G-2012 and slightly differs from that given by Timashev et al. The latter deviates up to 0.7 (b31gdata).

Numeric NAs may appear in case prescribed conditions of use are offended.
