Important Notes

This tool calculates the burst and working pressures for pipes based on the provided material properties and dimensions.

Burst pressure is calculated using the tensile strength (via the Barlow formula), while working pressure is based on the yield strength using a 1.5 safety factor.

Both results are displayed in MPa and PSI.

Please ensure that wall thickness and outer diameter values are entered in millimeters (mm).
