Impact testing

Impact testing

Impact testing

(OP)
When I have an accumulator design ASME with a design temperature -39/+80°C is it than necessary to do impact testing on -40°C or is impact testing on -20° enough or is impact testing anyhow required? (and where can I find it?)
The material is 34CrMo4 (SA372GR.E CL70).

I hope anybody can give me an answer!

RE: Impact testing

Refer to the exemption curves in the relevant ASME code, presumably ASME VIII. Thickness is the important parameter.

RE: Impact testing

Please confirm the material type.  Per ASME Sec II Part A, the nominal chemical composition of SA372 GrE Cl 70 is
 .3 C/ .65 Mn/ 1 Cr / .2Mo

RE: Impact testing

The impact testing for the accumulator tank would fall under ASME Section VIII, Div 1, Part UCS, UCS-66. Since SA-372 is the "Specification for Carbon and Alloy Steel Forgings for Thin-walled Pressure Vessels", and Grade E, Class 70 material is not listed under Curves B thru D in Figure UCS-66, Curve A would apply. You need to obtain the design wall thickness of the accumulator tank to determine if impact testing is exempted.
