The allowable pressures were calculated by the formula pressures at 1000P tabulated above accordingly may be
in the Code for Pressure Piping, ASA B31.1-1955, Section used, provided that water hammer or shock conditions
3, par. 324(a), are considered by reducing these values by the product of
25(t-C) the flow rate in gallons per minute and the Water Hammer
P= Pactor tabulated above.

where P = allowable.pressure in lb per sq in. (gauge) Thus if the flowrateis 100 gpmina 2"extra strong
S = allowable working stress in lb per sq ip.. line, the shock pressure created by water hammer is 100
D = outside diameter in inches x 6.52 = 652Ibs. per sq. in.; by deducting this from the
t= design thickness in inches, or 121/2% less than value of 2500 lb per sq in. shown in the table the allowable.
the nominal thickness shown in the table statiC'working pressure is found to be 1848lb per sq in.
C = allowance in inches for corrosion ~d/ or Burst pressures for pipe were calculated using
