    This document provides definitions and formulas for calculating the thickness of IBR piping. IBR piping includes boiler feed water piping and steam pipes over 3.5kg/sq cm pressure or 254mm diameter. There are two formulas - one for IBR pipes using outer diameter and one for non-IBR pipes using the ASME B31.1 standard. The IBR formula calculates thickness as a function of maximum working pressure, outer/inner diameter, allowable stress, and corrosion allowance. Allowable stress values depend on temperature and material properties.

    • Steam pipes with pressures above 3.5kg/sq cm (g) or pipe internal
    dia above 254 mm, what ever applicable

    Thickness calculation:

    IBR THICKNESS CALCULATION

    THICKNESS CALCULATION AS PER IBR


    IBR pipe thickness formula (OD based) Pipe thickness formula as per
    B 31.1 (OD based)
    WP x D
    t = ------------------------ + c WP x D
    2 x f x e + WP t = ----------------------------+ c
    2 x ( f x e + WP x y)
    IBR pipe thickness formula (ID based)
    T<=482 deg C; y=0.4
    WP x d T>=538 deg C; y=0.7

    t = ------------------------ + c
    2 x f x e - WP

    IBR THICKNESS CALCULATION

    Where:
    t = Calculated mimimum pipe thickness
    WP = Max working pressure
    D = Outside diameter
    d = inside diameter
    f = Allowable stress as computed from formulae below.
    Allowable stress values as specified in the code of the country of manufacture are acceptable
    in lieu of the figures computed from the formulae below provided they fall within limits
    specified by these formulae.
    e = Efficiency factor
    c = 0.75 (Corrosion allowance)

    IBR THICKNESS CALCULATION

    Allowable stress (IBR):


    For temperatures upto 454 oC, Min of: R/2.7 and 0.67 Et
    For temperatures above 454 oC, Min of: 0.67 Et, 0.67 Sr, 0.83 Sr min and 1.0 Sc

    R = Specified minimum tensile strength at room temperature.


    Et = Yield point (0.2% proof stress at the temp)
    Sr = Average stress at the temp to cause rupture at the end of 100,000 hr.
    Sr min = Minimum stress at the temp to cause rupture at the end of 100,000 hr.
    Sc = Average stress at the temp to produce an elongation of 1% (creep) in 100,000 hr.

    IBR THICKNESS CALCULATION

    Allowable stress as per ASME section II part D (for comparision with IBR)
    Min of: R/4, 1.1/4 x Rt, 0.67 E, 0.67 Et, 0.67 Sr, 0.8 Sr min and 1.0 Sc

    Rt = Specified minimum tensile strength at the temperature.


    E = Yield point (0.2% proof stress at room temp)

    * It can be seen that ASME is more conservative than IBR and hence
    allowable stress values as tabulated in ASME Section II part D
    can be used in IBR thickness calculation.
