    The document discusses ASME B31G which is a standard for evaluating pipe corrosion and calculating remaining strength. It outlines the equations, limitations, and methods used in ASME B31G.

    ASME B31G is a supplement to the ASME B31 code that provides empirical equations for calculating remaining pipe strength and burst pressure based on parameters like metal loss depth, length, pipe dimensions, and material properties.

    The limitations of using ASME B31G include metal loss depth less than 80% of wall thickness, no cracks/gouges/stress concentrators, and the corrosion cannot be selective to seams/welds. The cause of corrosion must also be identified and mitigated.

    Equations are empirical or in some cases semi-
    empirical.

    What is this?
    Empirical knowledge comes from observation only. You don't know
    why or have any idea of why reaction A follows situation B but you
    have seen it happen so many times that you KNOW that is what is
    going to happen.
    People knew that things fell down long before there was a theory of
    gravitation. Such knowledge was empirical.
    Empirical knowledge not only comes from observation but also by
    testing.
