How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Design Pressure, Outer Diameter, and Allowable Stress.
  2. Set Joint Efficiency, Corrosion Rate, and Design Life.
  3. Review Nominal Thickness (with tolerance) and Estimated Remaining Life (years).
  4. Use Minimum Wall Thickness and Corrosion Allowance (in) to inform your decision.
  5. Use the chart to visualize the results and explore different scenarios by adjusting inputs.
