aNumbers are schedule numbers per ASME Standard B36.10M; ST = Standard; XS = (2) An arbitrary corrosion allowance of 0.64 mm for pipe sizes through NPS 2 and
Extra Strong. 1.65 mm from NPS 2½ through 20, plus
bT = Thread; W = Weld (3) A thread cutting allowance for sizes through NPS 2.
cWorking pressures were calculated per ASME B31.9 using furnace butt-weld (contin-

uous weld, CW) pipe through 100 mm and electric resistance weld (ERW) thereafter. Because the pipe wall thickness of threaded standard pipe is so small after deducting the
The allowance A has been taken as allowance A, the mechanical strength of the pipe is impaired. It is good practice to limit
(1) 12.5% of t for mill tolerance on pipe wall thickness, plus standard threaded pipe pressure to 620 kPa (gage) for steam and 860 kPa (gage) for water.
