What are the requirements for corrosion allowance in ASME Section VIII, Division 1 air receivers? Non-mandatory Appendix E requires it to be considered by the designer. The codebook index refers to UCS-25 which has been deleted from the codebooks for sometime.
The question was raised when reviewing the calculations from a manufacturer of air receivers that are mass produced. No allowance for corrosion was included in their calculations. (In this particular case the material is SA 455 and SA 414G, both carbon steel).
Any comments and historical perspective on this is appreciated.
