Tubing Pressure Ratings

Stainless Steel Tubing Pressure Ratings


values shown in bold are for tubing wall thickness
normally considered suitable for 37 degree single flaring
to SAE J533. Many factors influence the pressure at
which a hydraulic system will perform satisfactorily. The
values shown below should not be used as a standard
or specification and are not to be construed as
guaranteed minimums.
Note: Pressure ratings are based on ASME B31.1
1998, TP304 and TP316 Maximum Allowable Stress
values, -20 to 100 F.

Pressure Ratings, Stainless Steel Tubing


for Hydraulic System Applications
The following chart lists the nominal pressure ratings for
seamless or welded and drawn, fully annealed stainless
steel tubing products conforming to ASTM A213, ASTM
A249 or ASTM A269 respectively.
. These pressure ratings are derived from the Lam
formula with 18,800 psi (130MPa) allowable stress
factors and approximately 4:1 design factor. Pressure

Calculation of Design Pressures for


Alternate Tubing Materials
Design pressures for alternate tubing materials may be
calculated using the Lam formula as follows:
P=S((D-d)/(D+d))

where:

D= nominal outside diameter of tubing


d= nominal inside diameter of tubing
P= design pressure
S= allowable fiber stress of material at 4:1 design factor

Design stress and temperature derating factors for


typical hydraulic system tubing materials and
temperature ranges are listed below. Derating factors
for TP304 and TP316 are derived from ASME B31.11998 Edition. Carbon steel tubing in these temperature
ranges do not require derating.
