Hi,
Pipe thickness is generally calculated based on hoop stress formula whic is pd/2t. In ASME B31.3, the formula is modified as PD/(2SEW + PY) and it is used for calculation purpouse. However thickness obtained in the later is less than than the former one and still it is accepted because of...
hai all,
In the code stress calculation as per ASME B31.3 for sustained case the equivalent stress Se is combination of axial stress, bending stress and torsional stress alone. i.e., Se= √(│Sa│+ Sb)2 + (2St)2 ). Why Circumferential stress is not considered for finding the overall stress?
If...
