Doesn't the code say "may"?

I think you have to exclude first the weld region, as stresses there would be considered peak. Then near the weld you will consider stresses as local. I don't think having a defined distance of local membrane is useful, i think it is best to ask your friend engineering judgement here

It's fine we're doing elastic with the help of a software and our massive engineering judgement

I agree but for specific geometries like the nozzle/header assembly of my previous post subjected to external loads, i think it will be difficult with just an hand calc

Ok thanks

TGS4 could you elaborate on why Pm is a hand calc only?

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on the new buckling analysis methods of ASME VIII Div 2 edition 2023. I am currently designing a tangential nozzle/header assembly that is subjected to external pressure. Method A is "intended for use on independant component", so my choice was to go for...

Very insightfull TGS4, thank you for the explanation. I'm not familiar with SIF calculation as per Section VIII Div2. In my work for SIFs calculations we only use B31.3 and B31J, which appear to be simplified compared to section VIII Div 2. Stress range calculated with B31.3 is straightforward...

I do not

I did, found no relation between sifs and nde

r6155 care to explain on sifs calculation and nde relation?

Dye penetrant, radio or ultrasound

using UW16 with UG41 probably

non destructive examination?

I don't think sif calculation implies NDE, does it?
