Dear friends ,

I am new to piping stress analysis . Do we have any method apart from PEQ method , for evaluation of socket welded flanges ( 1 and 2 inch ). I have looked for ASME calculations using Section VIII , but it is for weld neck and RTJ flanges . While , by PEQ method , it shows ratio more than 100 % for moment of around 100 Nm . It is required to calculate , since we are having third party inspection for this project . Please give suggestions

Thanks in advance & Regards ,

Mahesh
