ASME Sec VIII Div I Appendix 2 flanges: hydrotest pressure criteria
ASME Sec VIII Div I Appendix 2 flanges: hydrotest pressure criteria
(OP)
Hi All,
Is it correct to to assume that a slip on flange designed to appendix 2 (say 275 psig design pressure) is also by default capable to withstand the full hydrotest pressure of 1.5 times the DP as allowed for say a B16.5 flange ?
Per my understanding,the code does not directly address this.
regards

That's not to say that it won't break, and may be just fine. Perhaps you should define "withstand"?
