Factor A and B shell thickness
Factor A and B shell thickness
(OP)
Hi,
to calculate shell thickness under external pressure, ASME formula has two factors A and B. What actually these factors represent? Do they indicate any property?

RE: Factor A and B shell thickness
Factor A is a geometry based factor, relations between thickness, diameter and length as applicable. It is independent of material.
Factor B is a material based factor and represents stress-stain data. This dependent on Factor A (geometry) and temperature. Factor B is used in calculation of the allowable external pressure.

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

By refering the source,parts everything clearly you opened up a new chapter to learn for me. Its really helpful..
