Engineering reference for the thin-wall pressure–SDR relationship used in thermoplastic pipe education.
P = internal pressure; S = allowable hoop design stress; OD = mean/outside diameter as defined by the standard; t = minimum wall. This page uses educational MPa/bar conversions in the calculator (1 MPa = 10 bar).

This engineering resource explains Barlow Formula Hoop Stress for designers and reviewers. Use it to clarify definitions, methods, and limitations—then apply project-specific data.
Document formulas and variable definitions when performing calculations. Call out where soil modulus, temperature derating, or surge dominates the result. Link outcomes back to product standards and application hubs for procurement.
