Tube Derating Factors for Temperature
Besides severity of service, high operating temperature
also reduces allowable working pressure of the tubing.
Temperaturederating factors for various tube materials are
given in Table T7. Where applicable, derating factors for
severity of service and temperature should be applied to
the design pressure values in
an
o arrive
at the maximum recommended working pressure.
Example:
Combined derating factor for 316SS tubing for B
(
severe) service and 500°F. operation is .67 x .9 = .603
Tube Selection Example:
*
The derating factors are based on allowable design stress
values at various temperatures per ASME B31.1 code for
pressure piping (1986).
