Hello everyone,

I have started working recently with Asme Section VIII Division 3. According to KD-412, one of the conditions to estimate the number of design cycles is propagating a crack from the initial assumed flaw size to the critical crack depth, but how should I work in the case that the critical crack depth is larger than the cylinder thickness and the a/t coefficients are under 0.8?

Thank you for your help
