I looking for old stress values. Anyone know where I can obtain the pre 1978 stress tables?

Thanks for your replies!

ASME Sec II-D only came into existence in 1992, prior to that each individual codebook had the mandate to publish the allowable stresses.

So you need to get a copy of the actual codebook that you are referring to, eg. Section 1, Section VIII Div 1, ...

Ok, thanks. It would be B31.1. Got any leads on old code books?
