Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) If the nominal wall thickness for steel
					 pipe is not known, it is determined by measuring the thickness of each piece of
					 pipe at quarter points on one end.
(b) However, if the pipe is of uniform grade,
					 size, and thickness and there are more than 10 lengths, only 10 percent of the
					 individual lengths, but not less than 10 lengths, need be measured. The
					 thickness of the lengths that are not measured must be verified by applying a
					 gauge set to the minimum thickness found by the measurement. The nominal wall
					 thickness to be used in the design formula in section
					 255.105 
					 of this Part is the next wall thickness found in a commercial specification
					 that is below the average of all the measurements taken. However, the nominal
					 wall thickness used may not be more than 1.14 times the smallest measurement
					 taken on pipe less than 20 inches (508 millimeters) in outside diameter, nor
					 more than 1.11 times the smallest measurement taken on pipe 20 inches (508
					 millimeters) or more in outside diameter.

(a)
Design formula.
Design formulas for plastic pipe are
					 determined in accordance with either of the following formulas:
P = 
						2StDF/(D-
						t)
P = 
						2SDF/(SDR -
						1)
Where:
P = Design pressure, gauge, psig (kPa).
S = For thermoplastic pipe, the hydrostatic design basis
						(HDB) is determined in accordance with the listed specification at a
						temperature equal to 73°F (23°C), 100° F (38°C), 120°F
						(49°C), or 140°F (60°C). In the absence of an HDB established at
						the specified temperature, the HDB of a higher temperature may be used in
						determining a design pressure rating at the specified temperature by arithmetic
						interpolation using the procedure in Part D.2 of PPI TR-3/2012, (incorporated
						by reference, see section
						255.7 
						of this Part). For reinforced thermosetting plastic pipe, 11,000 psig (75,842
						kPa).
t = Specified wall thickness, inches (mm).
D = Specified outside diameter, inches (mm).
SDR = Standard dimension ratio, the ratio of the average
						specified outside diameter to the minimum specified wall thickness,
						corresponding to a value from a common numbering system that was derived from
						the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) preferred number series
						10.
DF = Design Factor, a maximum of 0.32 unless otherwise
						specified for a particular material in this section.
(b)
General requirements for plastic
					 pipe and components.
(1) Except as
					 provided in subdivisions (c) through (f) of this section, the design pressure
					 for plastic pipe may not exceed a gauge pressure of 100 psig (689 kPa) for pipe
					 used in:
(i) distribution systems;
					 or
(ii) transmission lines in Class
					 3 and 4 locations.
