Can someone direct me to a website that has a metric pipe chart with wall thickness, working pressure and burst pressure ratings. Didn't come up with much when I searched on the "net".

Thanks,
Tom

That is a little bit difficult as (for example) DIN standards must not be published in the internet. What are you looking for? Seamless steel pipes? I can perhaps guide you to a homepage with dimensions if you tell me what you looking for.
 
micalbrch,

Thanks for your reply, looking for pipe table for seamless metric pipe, regarding working pressure, burst pressure and safety factors for different sizes and wall thickness.

Suggestion:

There is a vast number of pipe materials, qualities and application and mounting variations, giving an almost impossible task of covering it all, without aquiring the relevant norms!

You could either:

a) Buy the norms.

b) Specify the types and sizes (and quantities if you are working on a project buying later), and ask one or several producers or suppliers for data-sheets, brochures and if necessary indicating prices.

 
Didn't realize it would be this difficult-we have charts/tables for US pipe
 
One of the problems is that the allowable pressure will be different depending on the end use. For example, ASME B31.3 will specify a different working pressure for a given pipe than will B31.1, than B31.4, than B31.8 etc.

It is relatively easy to find tables of pipe dimensions but finding working pressure ratings is a different matter. For pipe dimensions, get a copy of ASME B36.10M
 
maytag,

Search for seamless pipes and DIN 2440 or EN 10220. These standards show available metric pipe dimensions and weights. Pressures are not listed there. The best guideline for the operating pressure is to have a look at the corresponding welding neck flange standard. The welding neck thickness varies with the size and with the flange pressure rating and fits to the corresponding seamless pipe wall thicknesses. There are hundreds of metric pipe standards and many standards which describe pressure rating under different conditions and for different temperatures. As written before you cannot find them in the internet for free. If you are just looking for two or three sizes, I might perhaps help you. Just let me know.
 
You have to search for DIN2448 pipe'
It must be freely available on the net somewhere with pipevendors(pe. google van Leeuwen or Lionpipe)

Correct, that was a typing mistake. DIN 2448 is the standard for seamless steel pipes and not DIN 2440. But DIN 2448 was replaced by EN 10220. The contents is the same as far as I know. They just made a European standard out of the DIN standard.
