ASME B31.4 Riser Calc

This document summarizes the minimum allowable wall thickness calculation for an oil riser piping system with the following details: - Equipment ID: 1234 - Nominal pipe thickness: 0.432 inches - Design conditions: 1415 psig, -200 to 1500°F - Minimum calculated design thickness: 0.223 inches - Minimum allowable thickness including corrosion allowance: 0.273 inches It also provides the minimum allowable wall thickness calculation for the riser's maximum allowable operating pressure of 431 psig, noting a minimum required thickness of 0.118 inches. The document concludes by calculating the riser's maximum allowable operating pressure based on the actual minimum corroded wall thickness of 0.
