PVC Drilled tubesheet

PVC Drilled tubesheet

PVC Drilled tubesheet

(OP)
Dear all,

although strictly speaking is not an Asme subject, it might be possible that some of you can help me up with the following issue:
For a 64in sea water process vessel, I need to calculate a drilled plate (a tubesheet) made from PVC.
Meanwhile in steel we use ultimate tensile strenght and yield stress as ref. data for allowable stress calculation, I don“t know which is the usual criteria for PVC.
Can any of you provide me with some guideline?
Thanks in advance

RE: PVC Drilled tubesheet

I just found this website today. It has material properties, but nothing about allowable stresses.

I'm interested what design codes are typically used ...

Good Luck!   RAF
