Pre-straining of Pressure Vessels
Pre-straining of Pressure Vessels
(OP)
Hello,
Is there a guiline in terms of percentage of plastic strain to get in a pressure vessel during a pre-straining test in order to limit the plastic deformation during pressure test or operation?
Is there something about pre-straining in the ASME? If so, what reference?
Thank you.
Dave

RE: Pre-straining of Pressure Vessels
You're not talking about autofrettage, are you? What Section and Division of the Code are you referring to?
