Safe Working & Burst Pressure Ratings
Pressure Calculations Based on ASME B31.1-2007
Understanding safe working pressures is crucial for applications in plumbing, HVAC, industrial processing, and fluid transport systems.
Example Calculation for Copper Tubing
- Outside Diameter: 0.3725 in
- Wall Thickness: 0.025 in
- Max Allowable Stress: 10,000 psi
- Min Tensile Strength: 46,000 psi
- Results:
- Safe Working Pressure: 1,418 psi
- Burst Pressure: 6,040 psi
This calculator is made available to you for your reference only. To verify calculations, further testing would need to be performed.
