Fracture Mechanics and Swagelok Fitting for Hydro Testing
Fracture Mechanics and Swagelok Fitting for Hydro Testing
(OP)
Looking for fracture mechanics predictions and calculations with regard to hydrotesting.
I'm trying to prove how thick a test plate has to be and what material with the proper tensile stress.
I've looked at ASME B1.20 for requirements. Any comments.
Much appreciated.

I can talk about this all day, and you can also get information from Parker or Swagelok. Also note that a company called Fine Tubes produce top quality tubing - but it does cost more!

not sure how to apply damage tolerance to swagelok fttgs ... maybe ask swagelok ?? ... you can surely apply fatigue and crack growth, but do you really need residual strength ??
