Div 1 versus Div 2
Div 1 versus Div 2
(OP)
Apart from client requirements to use Div 2 what is the rough guide eeconomical break point when choosing between Div 1 and 2?
Is Div 2 cheaper above a certain wall thick taking into account the additional design and NDT involved?
What do you guys out there think?

Another issue is the material used. I do not use Div. 2 often, but it is my understanding that the increased allowable stresses are for tensile only and not for yield. So if you are using a material that has its allowable stress limited by yield in div. 1, it will have the same allowable in Div. 2.
