Calculation Basis: Annealed, seamless 304 or 316 stainless steel tubing ASTM A-269 or equivalent. System temperatures between -20°F and 100°F with allowable stress of 20,000 psi. Ultimate tensile strength of 75,000 psi. Safety factor of 4. Reference: ANSI B 31.3 Code. (For more specific working pressure information regarding a particular tubing, consult with the actual manufacturer of the tubing.)

Note: For welded and drawn tubing, a derating factor must be utilized. For double welded tube, multiply the above pressure rating by .85; and for single welded tube by .80 (ANSI B 31, Table A-1B). Suggested Tube Ordering Information: Specify the outside diameter and wall thickness of annealed, seamless or welded and drawn 316 or 304 stainless steel tubing of ASTM A-269, A-249, A-213 or equivalent. Also specify high quality tubing to be free of scratches, and suited for bending with material hardness not to exceed Rb 90.

Generally, SSP fittings, adapters and components (fittings) are rated for pressures equal to the maximum allowable working pressures of the tubing, hose or pipe recommended for use with the fittings. However, it is important to note that many specially designed fittings, bored-through fittings and fittings having SAE/AN, O-Ring boss and SAE/MS integral ends may have lower pressure ratings than that of the tubing.

Calculation Basis: Annealed (Temper 060), seamless copper tubing ASTM B-75 or equivalent. System temperatures between -20°F and 100°F with allowable stress of 6000 psi. Ultimate tensile strength of 30,000 psi. Safety factor of 5. Reference: ANSI B 31.3 Code. (For more specific working pressure information regarding a particular tubing, consult with the actual manufacturer of the tubing.)

Suggested Tube Ordering Information: Specify the outside diameter and wall thickness of annealed (Temper 060), seamless copper tubing of ASTM B-75, B-68, or equivalent specification. Also specify high quality tubing to be free of scratches, and suited for bending. Additionally acceptable: Annealed (Temper O) copper water tubing, Type K or Type L (ASTM B-88). No embossed markings allowed.

Monel 400 is a trademark of INCO Alloys International Incorporated. Calculation Basis: Annealed, seamless Monel Alloy 400 tubing ASTM B-165 or equivalent. System temperatures between -20°F and 100°F with allowable stress of 18,700 psi. Ultimate tensile strength of 70,000 psi. Safety factor of 4. Table values are per the ANSI/ASME B 31.3 Code for temperatures from -325°F to only 100°F. Monel derates fast at elevated temperatures. (For more specific working pressure information regarding a particular tubing, consult with the actual manufacturer of the tubing.) Suggested Tube Ordering Information: Specify the outside diameter and wall thickness of annealed, seamless Monel Alloy 400 tubing of ASTM B-165 or equivalent specification. Also specify high quality tubing to be free of scratches, and suited for bending with material hardness not to exceed Rb 75.
