1) Thats very weird, in mine it seems to be pretty clear (see attached) but why would they give you the dimensions then.
2) yes I guess being able to x-ray it is a big plus.
Setting that aside for a bit did I use the standard correctly?
I mean ambient temperature+1300 psi+ASTM A516 gr...
Thanks for the response Mike,
A) Its ambient temperature around 25C.
B) Could you elaborate why you wouldnt use it, and why would it be your first choice?
About that I also have a question on the standard that might be related, the copy I have says "slip on welding(NPS 1/2 to 2 1/2 only)"...
Sorry If I sound like a bit of a newbie here this is not really my line of expertise.
Is this slip-on flange design correct for a NPS20 inch pipe holding 1300 psi?
Regards,

Thanks thats probably the answer that was needed, I'll be sure to read ASME Section VIII, Division 2, Part 5 when I get access to it
In the mean time:
Could you maybe explain in words what's the principle behind ASMES's method of evaluating FEA results, i mean why's equivalent stress not...
Thanks for the responses,
Inventors simulation is quite limited and Im quite sure you cant change element type, so Ill do it on another package when I have time, If youre interested in more info the thread over at autodesk is still alive.
Im sorry english isnt my first language what do you...
Thanks for your responses,
I believe the order of the tet elements used in Inventor is higher so from what I've read they should be able to model this stress scenario with one element thru the thickness, I ll check anyways
About the stress distribution not being smooth I believe thats because...
Im sorry if im being rough but did you read my post?
Im asking if someone could check THE SPREADSHEET on that forum, it relates only to asme code calculations. All of the FEA/Inventor stuff is already checked in different software and by people who do use Inventor, I want someone with ASME BPVC...
I tried posting this yesterday and somehow it just didnt get posted, here it goes:
I posted this on the autodesk forums:
So, im trying to compare results from calculating a torispherical head according to ASME VIII with the model dimensions, with an 8 mm thickness the ASME calculation...
