Regression Curve







                        The regression curves affect pipe life depending on the fluid pressure, temperature and outer stress (see chart).

                        Hydrostatic stress:
                        Expressed in megapascals, induced in the wall of pipe when a pressure is applied using water as a medium.
                        Using Hydrostatic stress and dimensions, the maximum working pressure can be calculated with the following equation:

                                                                           Example
                        The formula joining these parameters is :
                                                                           T = 60°C         Continuous operating life: 50 years
                                                   P = maximum inner pressure  From the regression curve the result is:  R = 4,9 Mpa
                                                   d = outer diameter
                                                   s = thickness           Calculation (from the formula)
                                                   R = outer stress        P= 19,7 bar
