Hello,
I'm new to stress analysis and need some advice. The task given to me is to analyse a system that is fabricated with 12 ga 304L SS. One section has about 100 feet of 56" dia duct. Operating temps are around 350 F, and pressures range from minus 0.2 PSIG to 4 PSIG. My question is, with a D/t ratio of about 550 am I wasting my time running an analysis on this system?
thanks,
