Application of ASME allowable stress in domestic standard calculations?
Thread Content
Application of ASME allowable stresses in calculations based on domestic standards: The safety factor for tensile strength according to ASME is 3.5, while it is 2.7 according to the TSG standard; the safety factor for yield strength is 1.5 in both cases. ASME provides allowable stresses, but it does not specify high-temperature tensile and yield strengths, making it impossible to calculate allowable stresses using the TSG standard. I was thinking of this: could the allowable stress values obtained from ASME be multiplied by 3.5/2.7 to obtain the allowable stresses according to the TSG standard? Is this approach valid? I would appreciate it if experts could share their insights. Thank you.
It’s not possible; ASME and TSG are two different standard specifications, and there are significant differences in their performance data
