(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2000)The Process Piping Code—ASME B31.3, (“Chemical Plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping,” 1998 Edition, ASME, New York, NY) has undergone significant changes over the years to better serve the ... -
Life Management of High-Temperature Piping and Tubing in Fossil Power Plants
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2000)Aging of power plants and competitive pressures to operate and maintain (O&M) these plants at reduced costs have heightened industry interest in life assessment and management technologies. ... -
Use of CDM in Materials Modeling and Component Creep Life Prediction
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2000)Physically based continuum creep damage mechanics (CDM) has been reviewed and shown to provide a unifying framework for some seemingly diverse methods of predicting design and remanent creep ... -
Containment Inservice Inspection, Repair, Replacement, and Testing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2000)Section XI, Subsections IWE and IWL, of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provide requirements to assure that the critical areas of steel and concrete primary containment structures are ... -
Leak-Before-Break: What Does It Really Mean?
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2000)Leak-before-break (LBB) is a term that has been used for decades in reference to a methodology that means that a leak will be discovered prior to a fracture occurring in service. LBB has ... -
Tubesheet Heat Exchangers: New Common Design Rules in UPV, CODAP, and ASME
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2000)French CODAP rules devoted to tubesheet heat exchangers were adopted in the 1990s, for the European Unfired Pressure Vessel Standard (UPV). ASME Section VIII—Div. 1 rules issued in July 1998 ... -
The Omega Method–An Engineering Approach to Life Assessment
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2000)Many petroleum companies have been using a tool developed by MPC for evaluating materials operating in the creep range. This method has now been recognized for inclusion in API RP579 on ... -
Fatigue-Strength-Reduction Factors for Welds in Pressure Vessels and Piping
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2000)Fatigue-strength-reduction factors (FSRFs) are used in the design of pressure vessels and piping subjected to cyclic loading. This paper reviews the background and basis of FSRFs that are used ... -
Welding Residual Stresses and Effects on Fracture in Pressure Vessel and Piping Components: A Millennium Review and Beyond
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2000)In this paper, the recent advances in weld residual stress modeling procedures are first reviewed within the context of pressure vessel and piping applications. A typical pipe girth weld was ... -
