Include pressure stress Indices per Div2 in Code calc - 05/12/10 05:16 AM
Dear all
When we tick to include the pressure stress Indices of ASME Sec VIII Div2 i(Appendix 5 D), the software increases the values of Pm , Pl+Pb , Pl+Pb+Q by applying the stress Indices
As per my understanding this is not correct. The first line in Appendix : 5D makes it clear that the stress indices may be used to determine peak stresses. Peak stresses are to be checked for fatigue.
I would be glad to have expert comments please
