astm a 252 use in pressure vessel 1

[tolga11]

Hello all,

I want to use astm a 252 in 48" OD pressure vessel. Is it suitable.
And I couldnt find max. allowable stress values of astm a 252. How can I find.
Could anyone help me.

No, A252 is not suitable for pressure vessel service.

A252-98(2002) Standard Specification for Welded and Seamless Steel Pipe Piles

Thank you for this information metengr, I dont have that standart. Do you know the max. allowable stress values of astm a 252.

thanks

Since this material is not endorsed by ASME B&PV Code, it is not permitted to use for pressure retaining components.

 

[metengr]

If you are asking for allowable stress values, you are on your own. You have several options, which depend on your application. I would use extreme caution if you intend to use this material under any pressure retaining capacity.

tolga11,

metengr is right. A252 is not listed in ASME Section II Part A. Therefore, we should not use this material for pressure retaining components.

the use equivalent ASME accepted material would be wise and it cost the same,
ASME requires an extra testing,and most of the pipe mfrs have dual pipe stencil, so your pipe may aalready be accepted ASME contruction if the stencil shows the accepted spec.
the stress in that pipe is the same as erw material so it is in the 12.8 to 14.6K
