practical reference for pressure vessel material

practical reference for pressure vessel material

(OP)
Is there any practical reference as a guid to select the appropriate materials for design of ASME SEC VIII pressure vessels?

RE: practical reference for pressure vessel material

No, not that I am aware of. This responsibility falls upon the designer, who should have expertise in the area of pressure vessel design to properly apply the rules of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

RE: practical reference for pressure vessel material

On standard designs, you design from the best materials "commercially available",
for special designs/customer specifications, you track down the materials as to your best avility to find the required materials.
Limitations: SA materials listed as permnitted in sec II-D
for the appropriate service .

RE: practical reference for pressure vessel material

A good reference book for the materials in Section II is the CASTI Guidebook  
ASME Section II, 31.1, 31.3
This book is based on the Moen Index and is a very valuable cross reference for different section of the code.  It also list the commercial names as well.
If I were still working with the codes everyday it is one book that I would have.

RE: practical reference for pressure vessel material

I would like to add a comment to metenger's answer.  The ASME Code DESIGNER is not responsible for material selection in the context of corrosion related issues.  The ASME Code designer only deals with the mechanical integrity issues of the vessel and the Code

The owner or his agent must address corrsion related issues such as corrosion allowance or material selection (to avoid SCC, etc) as part of the design spec.

For general information, try

"Pressure Vessel Handbook" by Megyesy

"Pressure Vessel Design Handbook" by Bednar

"Guidebook For The Design of ASME Section VIII Pressure Vessels"

Web has plenty of resources.  Hope this helps.

RE: practical reference for pressure vessel material

The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is not intended to be used as a design resource but as minimal requirements that are to be applied in the areas of design, fabrication, and inspection.  
Section VIII-1 and IID will give you direction from the standpoint of what materials are allowed to be used and their relevant properties, etc. but they do not address intended applications and suitability for service.
