Hello,
I have to design a valve cl-2500 according to ASME B16.34, but the material is A694 F65. This material is not covered by this standard.
So, which pressure/temperature rating is to be followed?
Thank you in advance !!!
Yes. But is it sufficient to guarantee the resistance ?
We always verify the stress thanks to FEA. And depending on the material used, the stress can be too high... even if the minimum wall thickness is repected.
Thank you both.
I know that I have to increase the wall thickness. It is possible radially. But in the other direction I am limited by the face to face... Perhaps have I to fix a bigger face to face.
Hello everybody.
I am a valve designer and I am facing a concern about the use of SS 316 (or other material whith the same strength) for class 2500 valves (or higher). When I use a FEA software to compute the body, I often reach stresses which overgo the 316 yield strength, for sizes bigger...
