Burst Pressure for ASTM A312 / ASME SA312

The values tabulated in the above table apply to types 304L. 316L in the temperature range of -20*F to 100*F. For types 304. 309. 310. 316. 317. 321 multiply the above values by 75000/7OOOO. The above listed burst pressure is calculated using the following formula which conforms to ASME specification UG-27 and UG-31 (Burst Press=2eSt/D-0.8t), D-Outside Diameter. e-weld efficiency=.85, S-Tensile strength=75,000 psi, t-wall thickness.
