ASME B31.1 Pressure Design Explained: Pipe Thickness Calculation & Corrosion Allowance for Power Piping

ASME B31.1 power piping system showing pipe thickness calculation and corrosion allowance for pressure design in power plants

Learn how pipe wall thickness is calculated under ASME B31.1. Understand pressure design, corrosion allowance, mill tolerance, and real plant examples from main steam and boiler feedwater piping. Introduction In piping engineering, pipe thickness is not chosen randomly, nor is it based only on experience or “what worked before.”In power plants, refineries, oil & gas … Read more
