ASME B31G-2009

ASME B31G-2009

ASME B31G-2009

(OP)
Hi all,


I have a question please regarding the ASME B31G 2009 for level 1 evaluation.

The equation for SF for z equal or higher to 50 is given on page 6.

For z lesser than 50 (page 5), there is no mention for SF. Should one use the same equation?

Thank you for the help,

OKCorall

RE: ASME B31G-2009

For the modified B31G method (beginning at the bottom of page 5), z is used to calculate M (Folias or bulging stress factor); M is used to calculate the failure stress (S_f).
For z less than 50, the M equation is on the bottom of page 5; for z over 50, the M equation is at the top of page 6. Use the calculated M value in the S_f equation at the top of page 6.

All,
I've been trying to implement the ASME B31G calculations at http://www.novanumeric.com/samples.php?CalcName=B31G

Any feedback?

I'm trying to understand some of the background.

Is Sflow more or less the yield stress and Sf the failure stress for the pipe?
