🧮 Overview
📝 Inputs
- Design Pressure: bar, psi, MPa (user-selectable)
- Operating Pressure: bar, psi, MPa (user-selectable)
- Measured Wall Thickness: mm, inches (user-selectable)
- Original Wall Thickness: mm, inches (user-selectable)
- Pipe Outside Diameter: mm, inches, cm (user-selectable)
- Pipeline Design Code:
- API 579
- ASME B31.3
- ASME B31.4
- ASME B31.8
- Output Pressure Unit: bar, psi, MPa
📊 Calculation Logic
- All input units are converted to SI for calculation.
- Each design code sets a minimum allowable ratio of measured/original wall thickness for acceptance (e.g., API 579: 87.5%).
- The plugin checks: Measured Thickness≥(Code Allowable Ratio)×Original Thickness\text{Measured Thickness} \geq (\text{Code Allowable Ratio}) \times \text{Original Thickness}Measured Thickness≥(Code Allowable Ratio)×Original Thickness
- Outputs the required minimum thickness (in mm and inches), measured thickness, and acceptance status.
📤 Outputs
- ✅/⚠️ Acceptance or warning status (based on code)
- Required minimum wall thickness (mm/in)
- Measured-to-original thickness ratio (%)
- Code reference and explanation
