    Available FEA software for ASME Class 1 piping.

    I think I have found one other program: ROHR2 It's a company out of Germany named SIGMA. I also made a mistake about CAEPipe...it does do Class 1 with an add on package called Pipe Stress. Graeme

    Tubesheets:ASME Section III, App. A-8000 interpretation.

    To add: If I am interpreting it correctly the two terms outside the radical are for calculating the SI between the normal stress in the ligament due to pressure and the normal in plane radial stress averaged in the ligament. If that's the case why are they ignoring the normal stress due to...

    Tubesheets:ASME Section III, App. A-8000 interpretation.

    Hello, Under the ASME code Section A-8142.1 (a) the membrane stress intensity is calculated from the larger of two equations listed. In both equations first term under the radical appears to be through thickness shear stress (twice for SI), the second term under the radical is the average...
