Default SS x-over pipe calcs for the DIY'r

So I was bored today and decided to do the stress analysis calculations to determine which pipe vs. wall thickness is necessary to make the x-over pipe for the oil system.

I took 400 Degrees Fahrenheit to be safe, and decided the minimum safe working pressure to be 4000 PSI.

I hope the charts make sense, I yellowed out anything below 4000 PSI as not being safe.

I'll publish a DIY on the x-over when I finish mine and show you how it can be done safely and easily at home with easily obtained materials.
