Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. has developed programs for Hewlett-Packard HP-97 and HP-67 programmable calculators that relate to general corrosion-control operations in the gas pipeline industry. The first program describes in a fairly simple manner 1) the pressures that steel pipe can withstand with changes in the wall thickness and pipe diameter, 2) the strength of high or lower alloy steels, and 3) the properties or dimensions required for a given operating pressure. The program also considers the mandated safety factors (as required in populated areas, for example) in the calculated pipeline parameters.
