Calculating basic allowable stress of a material
Posted: 07 Jul 2025, 14:59
As per ASME B31.3, the basic allowable stress of a material is minimum of the following:
- 1/3rd of tensile strength at design temperature.
2/3rd of yield strength at design temperature.
100% of average stress for a creep rate of 0.01% per 1000 hours.
67% of average stress for rupture at the end of 100000 hours.
80% of minimum stress for ruptures at the end of 100000 hours.
