Allowable Stresses in ASME B31.8 Ch VIII Code Operating Case - 03/26/10 10:11 AM
I am doing a stress analysis using B31.8 Ch VIII code in CAESAR program. As per Table A842.22 in Chapter VIII of B31.8 for combined stress we can use 0.9 as the design factor(F3) to calculate the allowable stress.
B31.8 code based CAESAR operating case allowable stress is 0.9 x SMYS. But B31.8 Ch VIII code based CAESAR operating case allowable stress is only 0.72 x SMYS. I believe 0.72 shall be used only for hoop stress calculation.
I need expert’s advice on this issue.
Thanks
