Carbon steel & Aluminum

Burst Pressures for stainless steel in above chart were calculated using the specified minimum tensile strength, 75,000 p.s.i. To convert these to other materials simply multiply by the factor of the relationship of tensile strengths, as follows:

Material Tensile Strength Multiply By
Carbon steel ASTM A-106 Grade B 60,000 psi .80
ASTM A-53 Grade B 60,000 psi .80
Aluminum ASTM A-241 6061-T6 42,000 psi (under 1î) .56
ASTM B-241 6061-T6 38,000 psi (1î over) .507
ASTM B-241 6063-T6 30,000 psi .40
ASTM B-241 3003-H112 14,000 psi .18
FED WW-T-700 5086-H32 40,000 psi .533
