ASME B36.10M-2015 pdf download.Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe.
ASME B36.10M covers the standardization of dimensions of welded and seamless wrought steel pipe for high or low temperatures and pressures.
The word pipe is used, as distinguished from tube, to apply to tubular products of dimensions commonly used for pipeline and piping systems. Pipe NPS 12 (DN 300) and smaller have outside diameters numerically larger than their corresponding sizes. In contrast, the outside diameters of tubes are numerically identical to the size number for all sizes.
2 SIZE
The size of all pipe is identified by the nominal pipe size.
The manufacture of pipe NI’S 1/8 (DN 6) to NIS 12 (DN 300), inclusive, is based on a standardized outside diameter (O.D.). This O.D. was originally selected SO that pipe with a standard O.D. and having a wall thickness that was typical of the period would have an inside diameter (l.D.) approximately equal to the nominal size. Although there is no such relation between the existing standard thickness — O.D. and nominal size — these nominal sizes and standard O.D.s continue in use as “standard.”
The manufacture of pipe NPS 14 (DN 350) and larger proceeds on the basis of an O.D. corresponding to the nominal size.
3 MATERIALS
The dimensional standards for pipe described here are for products covered in ASTM specifications.
4 WALL THICKNESS
The nominal wall thicknesses are given in Table 1.
5 WEIGHTS
The nominal weights of steel pipe are calculated values and are tabulated in Table 1.
The nominal plain end weight, in pounds per foot, is calculated using the following formula:
9 WALL THICKNESS SELECTION
When the selection of wall thickness depends primarily upon capacity to resist internal pressure under given conditions, the designer shall compute the exact value of wall thickness suitable for conditions for which the pipe is required, as prescribed in detail in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping, or other similar codes, whichever governs the construction. A thickness shall be selected from Table I to suit the value computed to fulfill the conditions for which the pipe is desired.
