"Stress limits have no relevance in a plastic analysis", I totally agree, that's why I wrote "(or more likely allowed percentange of the collapse load)".
In a elastic analysis, Section...
In ASME B31.3 chapter VI paragraph 345 it is "clearly" stated what maximum stresses are allowed for pressure testing conditions. For a plastic analysis on the other hand, the allowed limits for testing condition is not as obvious. Does anybody know where stress limits (or more likely allowed...
