FOREWORD
(This Foreword is not part of ANSUASME 836.19M-1985.)

This Standard for corrosion resistant piping, designated categorically as stainless, is based on the same principles that formed the background for thedevelopment of ANSI/ ASME B36.10M, Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe, and reference is made to this source of information. 0 s are identical with those of SchedThe wall thicknesses shown for Schedules 40s and 8 ules 40 and 80 in ANSVASME B36.10M except in the 12 in. size in Schedule 40s and the 10 in. and 12 in. sizes in Schedule 80s. The thickness for these three sizes corresponds to wall thicknesses of Standard wall and Extra-Strong wall. The more recent development of the highly alloyed stainless steels has brought about a minor conflict with convention. With these newer materials, the need for standards is just as great and thepresent typesof threads are just as satisfactory, but the basic cost of the metal is much higher and the art of fusion welding has developed concurrently. The characterof stainless steel permits thedesign of thin-wall piping systems without fearof early failure due to corrosion, and theuse of fusion welding to joinsuch piping has eliminated the necessity of threading it. For these reasons, the wall thickness dimensions shown under Schedule 10s have been developed, based on the conventional formula, but then modified to correspond to the nearest Birmingham Wire Gage (B.W.G.) number. Following publicationof the 1949 edition theredeveloped a demandfor a still lighter wall pipe. A Schedule5s was determined cooperatively by representatives of chemical companies, processing industries, and manufacturersof welding fittings. This was endorsed by the ASA Chemical Industry Correlating Committee and the Manufacturers Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings Industry. The new schedule was included in the revised standard which was approved by ASA (now ANSI) on April 7, 1952. In 1956 it was recommended that thewall thickness of 12 in. 5s be lessened, and a new revision of the standardwas issued shortly afterits approval by ASA (now ANSI)on February 27, 1957. In this fourth edition, dimensionswere expanded beyond 12 in. pipe size by inclusion of, and reference to, ASTM Specification A 409. This revision was approved by ASA (now ANSI) on October 29, 1965. The B36 Standards Committee membershipwas asked in March 1970 for recommendato what action should be taken on ANSI B36.19-1965 since, accordingto ANSI protions as cedures, this standard was due forrevision or reaffirmation. TheB36 Standards Committee recommended reaffirmation. This action was approved by the Secretariat and by the American National Standards Institute on May 26, 1971. In 1975 the B36 Standards Committee undertook a review of the standard,considering its acceptability and usefulness. The results were favorable; some editorial refinements and updating were proposed alongwith the incorporation of factors forconversion to S1 (metric) units. Therevision was approved by the Standards Committee, the Secretariat, and subsequently the American National Standards Institute on October 4, 1976. This standard was revised in 1984 to include S1 metric dimensions. The outside diameter and wall thicknesses were converted to millimeters by multiplying the inch dimensions by 25.4. Outside diameters larger than 16 in. were rounded to the nearest 1 mm, and outside

diameters 16 in. and smaller were rounded to the nearest 0.1 mm. Wall thicknesses were SI metric dimensions were rounded to thenearest 0.01 mm. These converted and rounded using SI metadded in Table 2A. A formula calculate to the SI metric plain end mass, kg/m, was calric diameters and thicknesses, was added toSection 5 . The SI metric plain end mass culated for each size and thickness, and added in Table 3A. These changesin the standardwere approved by the Standards Committee, the Sponsor, andtheAmericanNationalStandardsInstitute,and it was designatedanAmerican National Standard on October 7, 1985.

AN AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD

STAINLESS STEEL PIPE

1 SCOPE

3 MATERIALS The dimensional standards for pipe described here are for products covered in the ASTM specifications listed in Table 1.

This Standard covers the standardizationof dimensions of welded and seamless wrought stainless steel pipe. The wordpipe is used as distinguished fromtube to apply to tubular products of dimensions commonly used for pipeline and piping systems. Pipe dimensions of sizes 12 and smaller have outside diameters numerically larger than the corresponding size. In contrast, of tubes arenumerically identithe outside diameters cal to the size number for all sizes. The wall thicknesses for sizes 14 through 22 inclusive of Schedule los, for size 12 of Schedule 40S, and for sizes 10 and 12 of Schedule 8 0 s are not the same as those of ANSVASME B36.1OM. The s u f f i S in the Schedule Number is used to differentiate B36.19M pipe from B36.10M pipe. ANSVASME B36.10M includes other pipe thicknesses whichare also commercially available with stainless steel material.

4 PERMISSIBLE VARIATIONS

Variations in dimensions differ depending upon the method of manufactureemployed in making the pipe to the various specifications listed in Table l. Permissible variations for dimensions are indicated in each specification.

5 WEIGHTS

The nominal weights of steel pipe are calculated values and are tabulated in Table 3. The nominalplain end weight, lb/ft, is calculated using the following formula:

2 SIZE

where nominal plain end weight rounded to the nearest 0.01 lb/ft D = outside diameter to the nearest 0.001 in. (The symbol D is to be usedfor O.D. only in mathematical equations or formulas.) r = specified wall thickness rounded to the nearest 0.001 in. The nominal plain end mass, kg/m, is calculated using the following formula:

The size of all pipein Tables 2 through 3A is identified by the nominal pipe size. The manufacture of pipe in the inch nominal sizes of Ys-12 inclusive is based on a standardized outside diameter (O.D.). This O.D. was originally selected so that pipewitha standard O.D. and havinga wall thickness which was typical of the period would have an inside diameter (I.D.) approximately equal to the nominal size. Although there is no such relation between the existing standard thicknesses - O.D. and nominal size - these nominal sizes and standard O.D.s continue in use as standard. The manufactureof pipe innominal sizes of 14 and larger proceeds on the basis ofan O.D. corresponding to the nominal size.

WPe = 0.02466(0 - t)t

The different grades of stainless steel have different specific densities and hence may weigh more or less than the values listed in this table would indicate [see Table 3, General Note (c)].

Unless otherwise specified, the threads of threaded pipeshall conform to ANSVASME B1.20.1, Pipe Threads, General Purpose (Inch).

When the selection of wall thickness depends primarily upon capacity to resist internal pressure under given conditions, the designer shall compute theexact value of wall thicknesssuitable forconditionsfor which the pipe is required as prescribedin detail in the ASME Boiler andPressure Vessel Code, ANSI/ ASME B3 1 Code forPressure Piping, or other similar codes, whichever governs the construction. A thickness will then be selected from the schedules of nominal thickness contained in Tables 2 and 2A to suit the value computed to fulfill the conditions for which the pipe is desired.
