Example: To demonstrate the calculations, consider an
a. From standard pipe tables: pipe OD = 48.000 in. and pipe wall thickness (W) = 0.375 in.
b. From the 1st equation: Y
c. From the 2nd equation: X
d. From the 3rd equation: β = ATAN (20.90/11.81) = 1.056 radian
e. Thus, AS = 48.000 x 1.056 = 50.697 in. (Note that this is the same value listed in Table 8 on page 45.)
Note: In the above example, the tabulated pipe OD of 48.000 in. was used in the calculations for clarity. Ideally, the
measured average pipe OD from step 2 on the previous page would be used instead.
