Tubes
The flanges covered in this Specification are
suitable for maximum design pressures of 16 bar at
75°
C and 20 bar at 38°
C.
The specified outside diameters of tubes, in sizes
up to and including 450 mm, covered by this
Specification have been selected from
BS EN 12449:2012 “Copper and copper
alloys – Seamless Round Tubes for General
Purposes”: Table 16(1).
The specified outside diameters of the remaining
sizes covered by this Specification have been
selected from BS MA 60 “Summary and application
of copper and copper alloy tubes for ships’
pipework systems [now withdrawn](2).” The wall
thicknesses have been selected to cover the
specific requirements of the petroleum industries.
This Specification specifies the requirements for
seamless and seam-welded tubes for offshore and
associated piping installations based on ASME
B31.3-2014(3).
The titles of other Publications referred to in this
Publication are listed in the References.
Note: The reference to “tube” rather than “pipe”
in this Specification is based on the usage of
this word in existing copper and copper alloy
standards.

EEMUA Copyright
For sizes of a particular type of flange not covered
within this Specification the Purchaser should
satisfy himself that the flange is suitable for the
service intended.
The diameters of hubs have been chosen to permit
the use of ring spanners. A list of other standards
and codes referred to in this Publication is given in
the References.
Publication234
Fittings

contained in EEMUA Publication 234 provide for
the total requirements of 90/10 copper nickel
piping systems intended to operate at pressures up
to 16 bar at 75°
C or 20 bar at 38°
C.
This part of the Publication comprises seven
Chapters for pipe fittings suitable for use with
90/10 Cu Ni tube. The Chapters are as follows:
Chapter seven
90/10 Cu Ni butt welding fittings.
Chapter eight
90/10 Cu Ni socket welding fittings
(including unions).
Chapter nine
Copper alloy capillary brazing fittings
(including unions).
Chapter ten
Copper alloy flareless, non-manipulative type
compression fittings.
Chapter eleven
Copper alloy threaded fittings.
Chapter twelve
90/10 Cu Ni reinforced branch connectors.
Chapter thirteen
90/10 Cu Ni saddle pieces.
Fittings other than butt weld tube may be suitable
for design pressures and temperatures higher than
those required by this Specification. Where this is
required the manufacturer of such fittings should
be consulted.
In order that a more satisfactory match than
hitherto is obtained between the bores of fittings
(and other butt welding components) and the
bores of tubes to which they would be butt
welded, a greater emphasis has been placed on the
bore dimensions and tolerances of the fittings.
The mean bore dimensions of butt weld fittings
(See Chapter seven of this Publication) correspond
to the mean bore dimensions of the corresponding
16 or 20 bar rated tubes covered by the tube
Chapters of this Publication.
Copper nickel alloy piping for offshore applications
The “building in” dimensions of butt-welding
fittings, apart from end caps, have been based on
ASME B16.9:2012(7). End caps have been based on
DIN 28011:2012-06(8) (with suitable amendments)
since the majority of manufacturers tend to follow
this particular Specification.
Additional compensatory thicknesses have been
applied to the intrados of long radius (butt welded)
elbows and to the end caps, (see section one of
this Publication).
Socket weld type fittings are included as an
alternative to capillary brazed fittings or flareless,
non-manipulative fittings.
Threaded fittings including caps, plugs and
bushings have also been included in this
Publication.
Materials of manufacture for each type of fitting
are covered in the relevant sections within this
Publication. Where other copper base or
non-ferrous materials are covered in the various
sections, the Purchaser may select accordingly.
All materials covered are compatible with the
90/10 Cu Ni alloy. However, reference should also
be made to BS MA 18:1973(9) for design limitations.
The basic dimensions, based on
ASME B16.11-2011(10), together with the
acceptance criteria are included with additional
test requirements for union type fittings. With
reference to capillary brazed fittings, appropriate
tests to establish that sufficient brazing alloy has
been included as an integral part of the fitting
design are outlined, together with the extra test
requirements for the acceptance of union type
fittings.
A list of other standards and codes referred to in
this Publication is given in the References.

1. Seamless tubes
1.1 Scope and design basis
Chapter one of this Specification specifies the
requirements for seamless 90/10 Cu/Ni Alloy
-UNS 7060X*1 tubes for offshore and related
industries. This section specifies the requirements
for seamless tubes in diameters from 10 mm to
450 mm for maximum design pressures of:
a)
b)
16 bar at a temperature range of minus 29°
C
and a maximum of + 75°
C.
20 bar at a temperature range of minus 29°
C
and a maximum of +38°
C.
The two corresponding ranges of wall thicknesses
comply with the pressure containment
requirements of ASME B.31.3-2014 as well as the
requirements of IACS (International Association of
Classification Societies) with additional allowances
for robustness to withstand mechanical damage,
especially in the smaller sizes.
The ranges of diameters and related wall
thicknesses of seamless tubes are given in Tables
4 (16 bar) and 5 (20 bar), “Dimensions of seamless
90/10 Cu/Ni tubes for offshore and associated
installations”.
Note: Users of this Publication should note
that while observing the requirements of this
Specification they should at the same time ensure
compliance with such statutory requirements,
rules and regulations that may be applicable to
an individual offshore or associated installation.
It should also be noted that the wall thicknesses
stated in Tables 4 and 5 were calculated using an
allowable design stress of 68.6 N/mm2, together
with a corrosion allowance of 0.5 mm. However,
to cater for the additional requirements for the use
of saddle pieces, an overriding design stress of one
fifth of the minimum tensile value of 270N/mm2
has been used for final calculation purposes.

1.3 Freedom from defects
1.5.3 Ovality
The tubes shall be visibly clean, smooth and free
from harmful defects and from deleterious films in
the bore. No defect shall penetrate the wall of the
tube that will give a resulting thickness of less than
the minimum stated in Tables 3 and 4.
The ovality of finished tubes shall be such that the
difference between the maximum and minimum
diameters measured on the same cross section
shall not exceed 2% of the size specified in column
2 in Tables 3 and 4.
1.4 Materials and manufacture
The casts and the tubes shall comply with the
properties of Table 5. The tubes shall be seamless
and in no case shall they be redrawn from used
tubes. The tubes shall be supplied in straight

in/419 mm are also based on BS 2871-2, Table
3(11) [now withdrawn] for specified diameters but
in this Chapter the tolerances have been applied
to the inside diameters to facilitate alignment of
matching weld preparations.
1.5.2 Inside diameter
The mean inside diameter of finished tubes in sizes
6 in/159 mm and larger shall be within the inside
diameter tolerances specified in Tables 3 and 4 for
a distance of 100 mm from each end. The mean
inside diameter is half the sum of any two inside
diameters measured at right angles on the same
cross section of the tube.

1.6 Selection of test samples
1.7 Mechanical tests
A batch is defined as a definite quantity of material
consisting of one or more casts, or the product or
part of a continuous cast run, the composition of
which complies with the analytical requirements of
Table 5 of this Publication.
1.7.1 Mandatory tests
For the tests specified in Section 1.7 tubes of
anyone size and thickness shall be grouped in
batches of 300 tubes or 1300 kg whichever is the
greater weight, and one tube shall be taken at
random from each and any remaining part of a
batch for testing. When the size of the order does
not permit batching in the above quantities, one
tube of each size and thickness shall be selected for
testing.
(a) Tensile tests
Tensile, 0.2% proof stress and elongation shall
be determined on test samples of tube selected
in accordance with Section 1.6 and tested in full
section or on longitudinal strips cut from any
part of the tube. The tests shall be performed
in accordance with BS EN 6892-1:2009(12) and
the values obtained shall comply with the
requirements of Table 5 of this Publication.
The sample selected from each batch, as defined
above for test purposes, shall also be used for
chemical analysis to confirm compliance with
Table 5.

(d) Drifting test
This test applies to tubes not exceeding 4 in/108
mm outside diameter. The test piece shall be
expanded as shown in Figure 3 by means of a taper
drift having an included angle of 45°
, until the
outside diameter of the expanded portion exceeds
the original outside diameter by 30%. When
subjected to this test the tube shall show no crack
or flaw.

1.8 Retests
1.9.2 Eddy current test
Should any one of the test pieces first selected fail
to pass any of the prescribed mechanical tests,
two further samples from the same batch shall be
selected for testing, one of which shall be from
the tube from which the original test sample was
taken, unless that tube has been withdrawn by the
supplier. Should the test piece from both these
additional samples pass, the batch represented by
the test samples shall be deemed to comply with
this Specification.
An eddy current test shall be performed on each
tube with an outside diameter within the capacity
of the equipment in accordance with
BS EN 1971-1:2011(14), or ASTM E243(15) plus
ASTM B466(16) paragraphs 11.2 and 14.2.3.
Should the test pieces from either of these
additional samples fail, the batch represented by
the test samples shall be deemed not to comply
with this Specification.
All tubes shall be individually permanently marked
and identified by clear legible printing by means of
a vibratory etching tool, electrochemical etching
or paint or ink stencilling in such colours as to be
clearly visible, as follows:
1.9 Hydraulic or eddy current
tests (mandatory tests)
Manufacturers shall perform one of the
following tests:
1.9.1 Hydraulic test
Each tube shall be hydraulically tested to an
internal pressure of not less than 1.5 multiples of
the design pressure in line with the ratings given
in Tables 3 and 4. Thus the test pressure for 16 bar
rated tubes shall be 24 bar and the test pressure
for 20 bar rated tubes shall be 30 bar. In each case
the pressure shall be stabilised and maintained for
sufficient time to allow for inspection for leakage
and/or signs of distress. In each case the test
pressure shall be maintained for a minimum of 10
seconds for tubes up to and including 4 in/l08 mm
and a minimum of 20 seconds for tubes over

2. Seam-welded tubes
Note: British Standards do not currently include a
document relating to seam welded copper-nickel
alloy tubes. ASTM B467(17) is referenced in this
section as a replacement for the section on welded
tubes in BS 2871 referred to in EEMUA 144/145/146
which has been withdrawn.
2.1 Scope and design basis
Section two of this Specification specifies
the requirements for seam-welded
90/10 Cu/Ni Alloy UNS 7060X*2 tubes for offshore
and related industries. This Specification specifies
the requirements for seam-welded tubes in
diameters from 6 in/159 mm up to 36 in/914 mm*3
for maximum design pressures of:
(a) 16 bar at a temperature range of minus 29°
C
and a maximum of +75°
C.
(b) 20 bar at a temperature range of minus 29°
C
and a maximum of +38°
C.
The two corresponding ranges of wall thicknesses
comply with the pressure containment
requirements of ASME B31.3-2014 as well as the
requirements of IACS (International Association
of Classification Societies) with a joint efficiency
factor of 1.0.
The ranges of diameters and related wall
thicknesses of seam-welded tubes are given in
Tables 6 (16 bar) and 7 (20 bar) respectively for
seam-welded 90/10 Cu/Ni tubes for offshore and
associated installations.
Note: Users of this Specification should note
that while observing the requirements of this
Specification they should at the same time ensure
compliance with such statutory requirements,
rules and regulations that may be applicable to
an individual offshore or associated installation.
It should also be noted that the wall thickness
stated in Tables 8 and 9 were calculated using an
allowable design stress of 68.6N/mm2, together
with a corrosion allowance of 0.5 mm. However,
to cater for the additional requirements for the use
of saddle pieces, an overriding design stress of one
fifth of the minimum tensile value of 270N/mm2,
has been used for final calculation purposes.
2.2 Information to be supplied

3. Composite weld neck flanges
3.1 Scope and design basis
Section 3.4 gives details of the 90/10 copper
nickel weld neck stub ends, whereas Section 3.5
gives details of the forged carbon steel plate-type
backing flanges.
The range of sizes covered for these composite
weld-neck flanges are ½ in/16 mm 36 in/914 mm*4.
Two types of weld neck stub ends are included
in Section 3.4. The short components (type S)
are based on DIN 86037(23) but modified to suit
the appropriate tube wall dimensions. The long
components (type L) are based on
MSS SP-43:2013(24) to suit the appropriate tube
wall dimensions. The long stub ends have been
included to facilitate the attachment of this type of
flange to butt welding elbows, tees, and the small
end of reducers.
Only one type of backing flange is included in
Section 3.5. The same backing flange is required
for all weld neck stub ends whether they be long or
short, 16 bar or 20 bar. This type of backing flange
is not suitable for use with composite slip-on stub
ends (Section 4.4).
The thicknesses of the plate type backing flanges
have been determined to meet the requirements
of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,
Section VIII, Division 1, Appendix 2, except
that design stresses have been established in
accordance with ASME B31.3-2014 criteria.
The following design criteria have been used:
(a)
Drilling and outside diameter dimensions of flange sizes ½ inch/16 mm - 24 in/610 mm are in accordance with ASME
B16.5-2013 and BS EN 1759-1:2004, (b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
whereas the larger sizes, 28 in/711 mm - 36 in/914 mm are in accordance with
MSS SP-44-2006.
All calculations for backing flanges have
been carried out using a design pressure of
20 bar at 38°
C.
Backing flanges: ASTM A105-14(25) forged
carbon steel.
Gaskets: 1.5 mm thick.
Bolting: ASTM A193-B7(26).
Design stresses used in the calculations were as
follows:
(i) Steel backing flanges: 160.7 N/mm2.
(ii) B7 bolting: 172.4 N/mm2.
Based on the results of the above calculations an
attempt has been made to rationalise ½ in/16
mm up to and including 1½ in/44.5 mm backing
flanges which utilise the same bolting. The
opportunity was taken therefore to use the same
flange thickness (dimension ‘b’) determined for
the largest of this size range and apply it to the
smaller sizes, resulting in identical bolt lengths for
all flanges in that range. This was considered to be
a practical and economical advantage within the
industry.
The dimensions of backing flanges are governed
by the strength required to resist the bolting
forces which may occur on bolting up. Therefore
all backing flanges are suitable for a maximum
working pressure of 20 bar at 38°
C.
This Specification does not specify hydraulic test
pressures for flanges or components, details of
which should be obtained from the appropriate
application standards.
*4
For purposes of this specification inch dimensions are nominal
and metric dimensions refer to specified outside diameters.

3.2 Pressure/temperature
ratings
Pressure/temperature ratings are the maximum
allowable working pressures (MAWP) at the
temperatures shown in Appendix B.
If a stub end rated at 16 bar is required to be
connected to a stub end rated at 20 bar then that
flanged joint shall be rated at 16 bar
(see Tables 12 and 13).
The temperature shown for a corresponding
pressure rating is considered to be the same as that
of the contained fluid.

4. Composite slip-on flanges
4.1 Scope and design basis
Section 4.4 gives details of the 90/10 copper nickel
slip-on stub ends, whereas Section 4.5 gives details
of the forged carbon steel plate-type backing
flanges.
The range of sizes covered for these composite
slip-on flanges are ½ in/16 mm - 4 in/108 mm*14.
The thicknesses of the plate type backing flanges
have been determined generally in accordance
with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,
Section VIII, Division 1, Appendix 2, except
that design stresses have been established in
accordance with ASME B31.3-2014 criteria.
The following design criteria were used:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
Drilling and outside diameter dimensions
of flange sizes 112 in/16 mm - 4 in/108 mm
are in accordance with ASME
B16.5-2013 and BS EN 1759-1:2004.
All calculations for backing flanges have
been carried out using a design pressure of
20 bar at 38°
C.
Backing flanges: ASTM A105-14 Forged
carbon steel.
Gaskets: 1.5 mm thick.
Bolting: ASTM A193 B7.
Design stresses used in the calculations were as
follows:
(i) Steel backing flanges: 160.7 N/mm2.
(ii) Bolting: 172.4 N/mm2.
Based on the results of the above calculations an
attempt has been made to rationalise ½ in/16
mm up to and including 1½ in/44.5 mm backing
flanges which utilise the same bolting. The
opportunity was taken therefore to use the same
flange thickness, (dimension “b”), determined for
the largest of this size range and apply it to the
smaller sizes, resulting in identical bolt lengths for
all flanges in that range. This was considered to be
a practical and economical advantage.
It is important to note however, that the backing
flanges for these composite slip-on flanges have
somewhat larger centre-hole diameters
(dimension “d5”) than those used for the
corresponding size of weld neck stub ends
covered in Section 3.4 of this Specification. Backing
flanges to Sections 3.5 and 4.5 therefore are not
interchangeable. Dimension “d5” for the two flange
types is given in Appendix A.
The dimensions of backing flanges are governed
by the strength required to resist the forces which
may occur on bolting up. Therefore all flanges are
suitable for a maximum working pressure of 20 bar
at 38°
C.
This Specification does not specify hydraulic test
pressures for flanges or components, details of
which should be obtained from the appropriate
application standards.
4.2 Pressure/temperature
ratings
Pressure/temperature ratings are the maximum
allowable working pressures (MAWP) at the
temperatures shown in Appendix B.
The temperature shown for a corresponding
pressure rating is considered to be the same as that
of the contained fluid.
*14
For purposes of this specification inch dimensions are nominal
and metric dimensions refer to specified outside diameters.

5. Solid 90/10 copper nickel weld
neck flanges
5.1 Scope and design basis
Chapter 5 gives details of solid 90/10 copper nickel
weld neck flanges.
The range of sizes covered for these flanges is
½ in/16 mm - 36 in/914 mm*19.
The thicknesses of these weld neck flanges have
been determined generally in accordance with the
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII,
Division 1, Appendix 2.
The following design criteria were used:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Drilling and outside diameter dimensions
of flange sizes ½ in/16 mm - 24 in/610 mm
are in accordance with ASME B16.5-2013
and BS EN 1759-3:2003(34), whereas the
larger sizes, 28 in/711 mm - 36 in/914 mm
are in accordance with MSS-SP-44-2006.
All calculations have been carried out using a design pressure of 20 bar at 38°
C
which additionally verifies the flanges for
16 bar at 75°
C. The only difference between
16 bar and 20 bar flanges being the minimum bore and weld preparation.
Gaskets: 1.5 mm.
Bolting: aluminium bronze,
ASTM B150-12(35) (alloy UNS C63000).
Design stresses used were as follows:
(i) Flanges: 68.6 N/mm2.
(ii) Bolting: 172.4 N/mm2 up to 1 in size.
155.17 N/mm2 over 1 in size.
The major differences from ASME B16.5-2013 and
BS EN 1759-3:2003, flanges are the length through
hub, the thickness of flange and in some cases
changes in the hub geometry to satisfy the design
criteria, and permit the use of ring spanners.
This Specification does not specify hydraulic test
pressures for flanges or components, details of
which should be obtained from the appropriate
application standards.
5.2 Pressure/temperature
ratings
Pressure/temperature ratings are the maximum
allowable working pressures (MAWP) at the
temperatures shown in Appendix B.
If a flange rated at 16 bar is to be connected to a
flange rated at 20 bar then that flanged joint shall
be rated at 16 bar (see Tables 27 and 28).
The temperature shown for a corresponding
pressure rating is considered to be the same as that
of the contained fluid.
5.3 Materials
5.3.1 Flanges
Flanges detailed in this section shall be
manufactured in 90/10 Cu Ni alloy UNS 7060X*20,
the composition and mechanical properties of
which are specified in Table 30.
5.3.2 Gaskets
The gaskets shall not be graphited. Neoprene type
gaskets with a minimum Shore hardness of not less
than 75 may be used.
In order to ensure adequate seating, irrespective of
materials, the gaskets shall be located within the
bolt circle.
Note: Gaskets should not be used when mating
with elastomer/rubber faced flanges.
*19
For purposes of this specification inch dimensions are nominal
and metric dimensions refer to specified outside diameters.
*20
Alloy UNS 7060X is a modified form of the following national
designated alloys - UNS 70600, as BS CW 352N and DIN 2.0872.

6. Solid 90/10 copper nickel slip-on
flanges
6.1 Scope and design basis
Chapter 6 gives details of solid 90/10 copper nickel
slip-on flanges.
The range of sizes covered for these flanges is
½ in/16 mm 4 in/108 mm*25.
The thicknesses of these slip-on flanges have been
determined generally in accordance with the
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII,
Division 1, Appendix 2.
The following design criteria were used:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Drilling and outside diameter dimensions
of flange sizes ½ in/16 mm -4 in/108 mm
are in accordance with ASME B16.5-2013
and BS EN 1759-3:2003.
All calculations have been carried out using
a design pressure of 20 bar at 38°
C.
Gaskets: 1.5 mm thick.
Bolting: aluminium bronze ASTM B150-12
(alloy UNS C63000).
Design stresses used in the calculations were
as follows:
(i) flanges: 68.6 N/mm2.
(ii) bolting: 172.4 N/mm2.
For solid slip-on flanges, in sizes greater than 4
in/108 mm, preliminary calculations have indicated
that the solid weld neck flange design covered in
Chapter 5 of this Specification is more economical
and lighter in weight. For the included sizes of
solid slip-on flanges (½ in/16 mm - 4 in/108 mm) in
order to maintain consistency between the weldneck and slip-on types, the flange thicknesses and
hub diameters are the same for both types.
This Specification does not specify hydraulic test
pressures for flanges or components, details of
which should be obtained from the appropriate
application standards.
6.2 Pressure/temperature
ratings
The pressure/temperature ratings are the
maximum allowable working pressures (MAWP) at
the temperatures shown in Appendix B.
The temperature shown for a corresponding
pressure rating is considered to be the same as that
of the contained fluid.
6.3 Materials
6.3.1 Flanges
Flanges detailed in this Specification shall be
manufactured in 90/10 Cu Ni alloy UNS 7060X*26,
the composition and mechanical properties of
which are specified in Table 34.
6.3.2 Gaskets
The gaskets shall not be graphited. Alternatively
neoprene type gaskets with a minimum Shore
hardness of not less than 75 may be used.
In order to ensure adequate seating irrespective of
the material, the gaskets shall be located within the
bolt circle.
Note: Gaskets should not be used when mating
with elastomer/rubber faced flanges.
6.3.3 Bolting
Suitable material for bolting (stud bolts) for flanges
to this section is aluminium bronze to ASTM B150
alloy UNS C63000.
*25
For purposes of this specification inch dimensions are nominal
and metric dimensions refer to specified outside diameters.
*26
Alloy UNS 7060X is a modified form of the following national
designated alloys - UNS 70600, as BS CW 352N and DIN 2.0872.

12.1 Scope and design basis
Chapter twelve covers wrought proprietary
self-reinforced branch connectors in 90/10 Cu Ni
alloy UNS 7060X*38 as modified in Appendix D of
this Specification for maximum allowable working
pressures (MAWP) of 16 or 20 bar at 75°
C and 38°
C
respectively.
The dimensions and tolerances are such that they
are suitable for welding to seamless or
seam-welded 90/10 Cu Ni tubes to EEMUA
Publication 234 Chapters 1 and 2 respectively.
Self-reinforced branch connectors covered are
suitable for application to headers sizes
½ in/16 mm up to 24 in/610 mm. Butt welding
type connectors cover branch sizes up to and
including the same as the header, whilst the
branches of socket welding type and threaded
type connectors are limited to 2 in/57 mm and
2 in NPT respectively.
A design feature of self-reinforced branch
connectors shall include the additional
compensatory reinforcement necessary to comply
with the requirements of Section 304.3 (Branch
Connections) in ASME B31.3:2014 “Process Piping”.
In addition the design shall include such features
as will promote as smooth an entry into the
connection as practicable in order to reduce
the effects of turbulence and risk of subsequent
corrosion.
The design features, including reinforcement, may
be established by mathematical analyses contained
in a nationally recognised pressure vessel or piping
code, as agreed between the Manufacturer and
Purchaser. The design of connectors which cannot
be qualified by such analyses shall be established
in accordance with the proof testing procedure in
Clause 9 of ASME B16.9-2012.
The basic overall dimensions of proprietary branch
connectors are given in Tables 57, 58 and 59.
Threaded type branch connectors shall have NPT
threads to ASME B1.20.1-2013.

Appendix C
Intrados thickness of long radius elbows.
See also Table 39. The additional compensatory
thickness in the centre of the intrados of the long
radius elbows shown in Table 39 were established
and calculated by the following procedure:
t(int) =
(
P. Do
(2R - r)
X
2(SE + PY)
(2R - 2r)
)
+ Ca
Where:
t(int) = Minimum intrados thickness (mm).
P = Maximum design pressure 1.6
and 2.0 N/mm2*.
Do
= Outside diameter of pipe (mm).
S = Maximum allowable stress 68.6 N/mm2*.
E = Quality factor - E = 1.0.
R = Elbow centre-line radius (mm)
(See ANSI 816.9).
R = Pipe radius - Do/2.
Y = 0.4 (See ASME B31.3 - Table 304.1.1).
Ca = Corrosion allowance - 0.5 mm.
*1 N/mm2 = 10 bar.
