Burst Test Calculations per UG-101(m) - Multiple Part Assemblies
Burst Test Calculations per UG-101(m) - Multiple Part Assemblies
(OP)
I have an assembly I would like to burst test to ASME B&PV Code Section VIII UG-101(m). The assembly consists of several parts, but is essentially two clamshell pieces held together in a flange type configuration with fasteners. There are also several pipe pieces threaded into the clamshells that are under consideration for burst strength.
My question is, when I get a burst pressure result, how do I go about applying the de-rating formulas in UG-101(m)? These are the formulas where you take the actual tensile strength of the material used and calculate a de-rated pressure, and then use this also in the temperature derating formulas. Do I do this analysis only on the failed part, or do I apply the de-rating formulas to all parts (those that failed as well as did not fail)?
Thanks.
