Allowable stress
Allowable stress
(OP)
When you want to calculate the thickness in ASME SEC XIII DEV 2 , the value of allowable stress is ( ultimate tensile/ S. F), asking about value of ultimate tensile while choosing; Minimum, or maximum or actual product analysis???





RE: Allowable stress
That aside - when you want to calculate the minimum thickness you utilise the Minimum Specified UTS and Yield Strength in the Code for the material since at the time of design you have not ordered the material so do not know the actual material strength properties do you?
RE: Allowable stress
ASME Section II, Part D, Appendix 10 details the calculations used to determine the allowable stresses in Table 5A and 5B.
Nevertheless, the minimum-specified values for yield and ultimate are used. It is NOT permitted to re-calculate the allowable stresses upon receipt of the material MTRs with actual values for yield and ultimate.
