When using welded pipes, depending on the weld type and testing. A certain
safety factor is used.
I still have to figure out quality factor for myself
tolerances depend on fabrication process. generally this is 12,5% for asme
with SA999
In service part of the pipe can corrode away. to take this into account part
of the pipe is reserved for corrosion and not calculated with
Y coefficent is a Asme specific factor used depending on material and design
temperature. For x materials under x temperatures 0.4 can be used.
