Selecting the correct piping schedule and flange rating ensures that all connected equipment can handle system spikes and long-term operations. Flange Pressure-Temperature Ratings (ASME B16.5)
Standard thicknesses are defined by "Schedules" (SCH 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, XXS). Flange Pressure-Temperature Ratings (ASME B16
Selected for highly corrosive processes, food-grade applications, or cryogenic service. 6. Practical Design Considerations
A typical Module 3 problem will give:
Every pipe has a at a given temperature. As temperature rises, material strength decreases.
Ensure your selected pipe schedule meets or exceeds both hydraulic flow constraints and pressure rating constraints. Practical Design Considerations A typical Module 3 problem

For pump suction piping, minimize pressure losses to ensure Net Positive Suction Head Available ( NPSHAcap N cap P cap S cap H cap A ) exceeds Net Positive Suction Head Required ( NPSHRcap N cap P cap S cap H cap R ) to prevent cavitation.
