I'm running across a code issue that I can't seem to work out. I can look up temperature deratings for allowable stress easily per ASME B31.3 Table A-2. However, if I buy a bolt material (say A354 Grade 8 for example) and I heat treat it by tempering or quenching, would the temperature derating...
Hello all,
I am trying to understand how I can get a machine shop qualified for welding requirements, so I started with reading ISO 15611 in more detail and was wondering if I could get some feedback in comparison to AWS standards. I see that the code mentions that a machine shop can produce ISO...
Hello all,
I am trying to understand ISO 15611 in more detail and was wondering if I could get some feedback. I see that the code mentions that a machine shop can produce ISO quality welds if they go through an "Existing previous welding experience" procedure, where basically you have to have...
Hello all,
I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to a section to study where the ASME code sect VIII div 1 talks about helicoil inserts and allowable strengths? I haven't been able to find any references so far from the UG section of the code. Thanks!
Hello all,
I am trying to figure out where in the ASME code I can find specs for calculating the thickness between two bolts in a metal plate. The top of the plate will be under pressure, but I don't think that UG-27 applies to this case? Can anyone help? I've drawn a picture of the setup below...
Hello all,
So I am trying to figure out how the ASME code applies to a flat plate with a single threaded pipe port in the center. The plate is bolted down, so I am using UG-34 as the basis to calculate the "web thickness" of the plate (disregarding the pipe hole in the plate). Then, after I get...
