255.115 - Temperature derating factor (T) for steel pipe

 

(a) The temperature derating factor to be used in the design formula in section 255.105 is determined as follows:

 

Gas Temp. in degrees Fahrenheit (Celsius)

Temperature derating factor (T)

250(121) or less

1.000

300(149)

0.967

350(177)

0.933

400(204)

0.900

450(232)

0.867

 

(b) For intermediate gas temperatures, the derating factor is determined by interpolation.
