Is the standard USAS B16.30 still used?
Is the standard USAS B16.30 still used?
(OP)
One of my older colleagues in his lecture informed that long time back they made use of B 16.30 for selecting vessel Girt Flanges and that B16.30 was in general use for ASME Sec I items and it used allowable stress of plate SA 285 gr C and that of bar A 306.
1) Is the standard B 16.30 still in use
2) Was this B16.30 permitted to be used in ASME Sec VIII Div 1 vessels or was this limited to ASME Sec I items.
