Question: What is the relationship between the wall thickness and diameter of pressure pipes (stainless steel) at a pressure level of 10 MPa? Thank you
To explain your question in this way: the inner diameter of the selected pipe (outer diameter – 2×wall thickness) is equal to or slightly larger than the inner diameter required to meet the requirements for flow rate and pressure drop. The wall thickness is calculated based on pressure, temperature, the allowable stress of the selected material at that temperature, and the outer diameter of the pipe; thereafter, the appropriate wall thickness is chosen from the available series of steel pipes. For your reference. Last edited by 678 on 2007-11-30 13:06]
