* Nominal wall thickness; they correspond respectively to the thickness of STANDARD WALL GRADE B steel pipe.

** Ratings apply in accordance with Sections 1 and 5 of the Code for Pressure Pipe.  The values shown are based upon a corrosion allowance of 0.05 inches for sizes 1" and smaller.  For sizes 1 1/4" and larger, a corrosion allowance of 0.065 inches is used.

*** Upon prolonged exposure to temperatures about 775o the carbide phase of carbon steel may be converted to graphite.  For other applications refer to appropriate section of B31 Code for Pressure Piping.
