Hi,
Im an internship on this company and im helping with the design of a pressure vessel.
The working pressure is 8,1MPa, room temperature.
Based on table 2, 1.1 on ASME b16.5, class 600 would be enough (Working pressure = 10.21MPa).
My question is about safety factor. Does this standard take a safety factor already on this working pressure or i'd need to use class 900 (working pressure = 15.32MPa) to have a safety factor near 2 (probably 2 would be fine since fluid is water and mostly static state, no impacts or whatever).
Sorry if the question is kinda newbie, but im searching for that and i didnt find a simple answer. It has been only a month since i started learning about pressure vessels so my knowledge its still very limited.
Thanks in regard,
Felipe
