ASME B31.3 304.1.2(b) What to do!?
ASME B31.3 304.1.2(b) What to do!?
(OP)
What do I do if the thickness i higher than D/6? The design code doesn't specify any equations for that, only that special considerations needs to be made.
I'm more used to B31.1 and that code doesn't have any restrictions like this one(that I know of)
Thanks

Note that the thickness calculated with formulae for high t/D ratii are normally lower than those obtained with the commonest formulae for low pressures: hence, only as far as the calculated thickness is concerned, you might use the thickness resulting from 304.1.2(a)

In all other standards it is specifically made clear the difference between thick walled and thin wall cylinder calculations. I am unclear to as what determines what section to use of B31.3 as the equations for wal thickness seam to be associated with high and low pressure and not determined by wall thickness.
Many Thanks.
