When using a retaining ring (Figure UG-34(m)) to hold in a flat head, I have to maintain a factor of safety of at least 4 against all possible means of failure, per UG-34(d).
One of the listed failure modes is radial deformation (flaring of the end of the vessel). The code doesn't provide any...
Lets say I have a pressure vessel being built to ASME Section VIII Div 1. The main portion of the vessel is a rolled cylinder (SA-516 Gr 70) that requires impact testing due to an excessively large weld (>6" governing thickness). Therefore, per UCS-66 and UCS-67, i need impact testing on my...

Under "Vessel (Production) Impact Tests Plates" (UG-84 (i) of Section VIII Div 1), there is the following statement about the materials used to make the test plate:
"The vessel impact test plate shall be from one of the heats of steel used for the vessel..."
What's a valid interpretation of...
Just a quick question - I'm looking for criteria for impact testing SA 105 with a 50F MDMT. I've found supplementary requirements for SA 516, but no such parallel for SA 105.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
In performing area reinforcement calculations (in accordance with section VIII div 2) for a studded outlet with a machined flat, I have noticed the results do not line up well with an FE model. When I perform the same calculations for a welded on nozzle, the FE model follows very accurately...
