A = 0.0625 inches or any other value specified by GS-DES.
d = Inside diameter.
Do = Outside diameter of pipe,in inches.
P = Design Pressure (psig) from M-601, Piping Class Summary.
SE =
Maximum allowable stress due to internal pressure and joint efficiency in psi.
Y = 0.4 unless Do/ rum < 6 then Y = d d + Do
- 2. Calculate Erosion / Corrosion Rate E/C Rate = Maximum calculated erosion / corrosion rate of a component (inches per month).
= TREF-TA (If TA is greater than TREF, E/C Rate = 0 M Use alternate evaluations to confirm.)
C = The circumferential cross section containing the minimum measured thickness.
L = The longitudinal cross section containing the minimum measured thickness.
lac = The longitudinal or circumferential cross section containing the minimum measured thickness.
M =
Months in service between the time when TREF and TA were established.
TA =
Smallest thickness measured in a component of an inspection point. Note: If TA is greater than TREF than request alternative evaluation.
TINIT = Initial thickness. Defined in Table 2.
TMAX = The maximum measured thickness in the longitudinal or circumferential cross section.

Nominal wall thickness as determined by the original pipe size and schedule.

Table 1. Required Grid Spacing PIPE SIZE GRID SIZE Less than or equal to 3" No grid. Scan the area ofinterest Greater than 3" 1" X 1" Less than or equal to 6" -
Greater than 6" 2" X 2"
,. Less than or equal 18" Greater than 18" 3" X 3" The location of the origin (x=y=0) should placed according to the following conventions:
- 1. The coordinate y=0 is always at the upstream end of the grid.
2.
The circumference coordinate x will increase from zero in accordance with the right hand rule (thumb in the direction of tiow and x increasing in the direction of the lingers).
O
- 3. The origins should be located so the coordinate x=0 is continuous from one component to the next in a given pipe line. See Figure 6.
- 4. The origin should be located on the upstream end of an elbow on the centerline of .
the outside arch. It should be located so that the area to be gridded extends from 0 at the origin to 360 degrees in a clockwise manner around the pipe. See Figure 7.
' 5. The origin on a tee should be on the side,90 degrees from the symmetry plane that contains the branch and pipe run centerlines. Step 2 should be given consideration when selecting a side but either side can be selected at the Nondestructive Examiner's discretion.
- 6. The origin on a branch pipe is at the branch to-pipe weld and on the same side of the tee as the run pipe origin.
- 7. If the origin cannot be located as required above due to contiguration, geometry or accessibility, other origins are acceptable if described and documented on the Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement Record.

MN 3111 Erosion / Corrosion Monitoring of Secondary Piping Revision 0 Page 30 of 31 A'ITACllMENT 7, FITTINGS REQUIRING SPECIAL CONSIDERATION A. Reducersiexpanders and reducing / expanding elbows Grid spacings on fittings with nonparallel (converging / diverging) grid lines should be set so the resulting spacing is less than that required in Table 1, Attachment 5, Grid Spacings.
- 1. Components with different size ends, both requiring the same grid size:
- a. Set circumferential grid spacings on the large end so the spacing on the small end will be less than required.
- 2. Components with different size ends, both requiring a different grid size:
- a. Use the longitudinal grid size and spacing of the small end for the entire length.
- b. Use the circumferential grid size and spacing of the small end for the entire component unless the resulting spacing exceeds that of Table 1, Attachment 5, Grid Spacings. If this happens re-establish the circumferential spacing on the large end equal to that required by Table 1, Attachment 5, Grid Spacings.
- 3. Reducing / expanding elbows:
- a. The longitudinal grid spacing should be set on the centerline of the upper or exterior curve.
B. Tees and laterals with different run and branch diameters
- 1. Grid size may be different for the run and branch pipes. ,
- 2. Grid size shall be based on the run and branch diameters.
C. Pipe less than 3 inches in diameter.
- 1. No grid is required
- 2. Thickness measurements should extend two inches upstream of the upstream weld and three inches downstream of the downstream weld.
