This calculator uses formulas
consistent with API Spec 6A, 20th Edition, described as the Distortion
Energy Theory, also known as the Von Mises Law. This calculator does not
allow for pipe wall variation or material defects of any kind. Users
will have to determine the safety factors they want to use for the
variation they expect to encounter in practice, including considerations
for corrosion and welding variation. |
