Where:
tm = minimum required thickness, including mechanical, corrosion, and erosion allowances
c = Corrosion Allowance
D = outside diameter of pipe as listed in tables of standards or specifications or as measured
d = inside diameter of pipe (without allowance) = D - 2 * wt * m - 2 * c
E = Longitudinal Weld Joint quality factor from Table A-1A or A-1B
P = internal design gage pressure
S = stress value for material from Table A-1
W = weld joint strength reduction factor in accordance with para. 302.3.5(e)
Y = coefficient from Table 304.1.1, valid for t < D/6 and for materials shown.

The value of Y may be interpolated for intermediate temperatures.
For t ≥ D/6,
Y=
d + 2*c
