Hi everyone,

Where can I find the maximum allowable stress values of A126B in order to justify the desing calculation of valve body wall thickness and flange thickness?
According to ASME B16.1 this is the cast iron which has to be used for flange fitting but, on the other hand, there is no mention of it neither in ASME VIII Div. 1 Table UCI-23 nor in ASME II Part D.

Thanks in advance.
