Thank you all for your help.
A few years ago a PE specifically requested that we include the load from RD bursting under live loads, to avoid further discussion and knowing that it didn't belong there, we did so.
Whilst I can understand the reasoning behind considering these loads under D...
Thank you all for your responses.
I had already considered a DLF of 2.0 for the burst disc load.
I have the book by Bednar and will have a look there. Thank you anyway for sharing it.
I know that I can evaluate additional load combinations to ensure that the design is sound, I just wanted...
Yes, thank you. I noticed that. But the question is, under which design load parameter are they covered in table 5.2 (T?) or 4.1.1?
Table 5.1 simply states that they must be considered in the design. I'm trying to understand which load combination takes into account external nozzle loads plus...
I was wondering if anyone here could shed some light on where the loads resulting from attached external piping are covered in the design loads and load combinations in Tables 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 of ASME Section VIII, Division 2.
The European code EN 13445-3 explicitly addresses loads from...
Thank you, this is very helpful. I am a regular user of Div. 3 and rarely use linearisation or elastic analysis these days. I attended the PVP in Seattle so I will have a look at the paper you mentioned. I wonder if the SGHPV has noticed this change in Div 2. Maybe we need to open an item to...
Thank you. But this doesn't really answer my question.
I know where to find the values and which table applies to which class. My question is whether the values used to calculate the ratio Sy/Su are values at room temperature or operating temperature.
Hi,
I have a question regarding the value of Sps to be used when performing a fatigue assessment in accordance with 5.5.3 of ASME Section VIII, Division 2. The value of Sps is defined in 5.5.6.1 (d). Now my doubt is what values of yield and tensile strength is the code referring to in (d)(2)...
