Equation: P = (2*S*T)/((O.D.-2*T)*SF)Where:P = Fluid Pressure (psi)

T = Pipe Wall Thickness (in)O.D. = Pipe Outside Diameter (in)SF = Safety factor (General Calculations 1.5 - 10, Use 1 For Bursting Pressure)S = Material Strength (psi)Ultimate Tensile strength or Yield strength can be used.

Ultimate should be used to determine the bursting pressure.

Yield can be used for estimating pressures at which permanent deformation begins.

1Mpa=144.55psi

What is the difference between Restriction Orifice and Flow orifice or please explain the symbols RO Restriction orifice and FO Flow Orifice?

A restriction orifice (RO) is used to limit the flow through the pipe to a set flow by choking the flow at its sonic velocity. A flow orifice (FO) is usually used to determine the flow through the pipe from the pressure drop over the plate. There a normally two pressure taps (one on each side of the plate) and a pressure transmitter which determines the pressure drop over the plate. A formula is then used to convert this pressure drop to a flowrate for the specific fluid passing through the orifice. A FO usually has a temperature element to determine the gas temperature for use is the formula.

Maximum working pressure sched 40 steel pipe?

A pressure rating refers to the qualified operating pressure which is recommended for a component or a system by the manufacturer. The maximum working pressure of a 12" steel having a schedule of 40 at 100 degrees Fahrenheit is 855 psig.
