Tubes Tubing Pipes Burst Working Pressure Calculator








Burst Working Pressure Calculator
Instructions:
  • Enter the values for tensile strength (Psi), wall thickness (Inches) and outside diameter (Inches) into the form, below.
  • The 'Calculate' button will calculate the burst and working pressures using Barlow's Equation, while 'Clear' will clear the form.
  • If you do not have tensile strength values for your material, please refer to the list as below. 1Mpa=144.55psi

    Enter Values
    Tensile Strength/UTS of Material  Psi
    Wall Thickness Inches
    Outside Diameter Inches
     
     
    Results
    Burst Pressure  Psi (Barlow's Equation)
    Working Pressure  Psi (Safety Factor or 4)



    Disclaimer: The pressures suggested in this calculator are given only as guidance. Dimensioning of piping systems is also depending on other factors like external forces, thermal stresses, dead weight etc. Furthermore the design must be made according to regulations from local authorities and approved accordingly.

    For tubes in pressure vessels and boilers it is important to consider standards like:

    • American standard ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII Division 1 and 2. The calculations are similar but the allowed stress has a different definition.
    • Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU
    • Machine Directive 2006/42/EG for European applications
    • TKN (Tryckkärlsnormer) 1987 and PSN (Pannsvetsnormer)
