Hello All,
Where do we get the Allowable Stress for the materials in BS5500? (For ASME its easy to find from Section 2 from the tables. (For BS 5500 do we need to calculate for each material? OR can we take the allowable stress from ASME for BS 5500 std?)

RE: Hello All, Where do we get the A
The UTS factor and occasionally the yield factor is different for PD5500 to the ASME vessel codes so the allowable stresses for a 5500 vessel shouldn't be taken from ASME II-D.

I might be able to help.
There is also a procedure to calculate design strength to PD5500.
It's under clauses:
2.3.3.2 for Carbon, carbon manganese and low alloy steels
and
2.3.3.3 for Austenitic stainless steel
The above is for time independent stresses.
2.3.4 - Time dependent strength
Check also which Category is your equipment i.e. 1, 2 or 3 if applicable.

Here below are the details:
BS 1501-224 Gr 490 B (Design temp max 100 to min 5 Deg C)
A 662 Gr A (Design temp max 100 to min 5 Deg C)
ASTM-A 240 (UNS-S-32750)-(Design temp max 100 to min 5 Deg C)
