4 General conditions for strength calculation Formulae (1) and (2) apply to mainly static internal pressure stressing. The extent to which these formulae can also be applied to pulsating internal pressure stressing is described in Clause 12. The total wall thickness is found by adding the following allowances: c0012eecc=++ (1) c1112eecc=++ (2) 00aee≥ (3) 11aee≥ (4) where ec0, ec1 are the calculated wall thicknesses in accordance with the rules given in this standard at different locations on the valve shell (see Figures 1a and 2); c1 is a manufacturer tolerance allowance; c2 is a standardized corrosion and erosion allowance. The values of the corrosion allowance are: c2 = 1 mm for ferritic and ferritic-martensitic steels; c2 = 0 mm for all other steels; c2 = 0 mm if ec0 ≥ 30 mm or if ec1 ≥ 30 mm. When checking the wall thickness of existing pressure retaining shells these allowances shall be subtracted from the actual wall thickness. ac0a012eecc=−− (5) ac1a112eecc=−− (6) SIST EN 12516-2:2015

Therefore the design pressure pd shall not be less than the maximum allowable pressure PS. In formulae, pd is shortly written as p. 6 Nominal design stresses for pressure parts other than bolts 6.1 General The nominal design stresses (allowable stresses) for steels (see PED 97/23/EC) with a minimum rupture elongation of ≥ 14 % and a minimum impact energy measured on a Charpy-V-notch impact test specimen of ≥ 27 J shall be calculated in accordance with Table 2.

Materials with lower elongation values and/or lower values for a Charpy-V-notch impact test may also be applied, provided that appropriate measures are taken to compensate for these lower values and the specific requirements are verifiable. NOTE The nominal design stresses of this clause are in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC Annex I, Clause 7. The term “nominal design stress” means the “permissible general membrane stress” in the context of this directive. 6.2 Steels and cast steels other than defined in 6.3, 6.4 or 6.5 The maximum value of the nominal design stress for normal operating load cases fd shall not exceed the smaller of the following two values: — the yield strength ReH/t or 0,2 % proof strength Rp0,2/t at calculation temperature, as given in the material standard, divided by the safety factor SF = 1,5. For austenitic steels and cast steels with a rupture elongation less than 30 % and with a relationship at 20 °C between proof and tensile strength less than or equal 0,5 the 1,0 % proof strength Rp1,0/t can be used, divided by the safety factor SF = 1,5; — the minimum tensile strength Rm at 20 °C as given in the material standard, divided by the safety factor SF = 2,4. 6.3 Austenitic steel and austenitic cast steel with a minimum rupture elongation not less than 30 % The maximum value of the nominal design stress for normal operating load cases fd shall not exceed the 1,0 % proof strength Rp1,0/t at calculation temperature, as given in the material standard, divided by the safety factor SF = 1,5.

For ratios eac / b2 ≤ 0,06, these rules are applicable for b1 / b2 ≥ 0,25 (see Bibliography, reference [3]). In the case of oval shaped cross-sections (see Figure 3 a) and Figure 3 b)) and of rectangular shapes with or without radiusing of the corners (see Figure 3 c) and Figure 3 d)), the additional bending stresses, which arise in the walls or in the corners, shall be taken into consideration.

(22) The calculation shall be carried out in respect of locations 1 and 2 (designated in Figure 3 a) and Figure 3 b) for oval-shaped cross-sections), and in respect of locations 1 and 3 (designated in Figure 3 c) and Figure 3 d) for rectangular cross-sections), because the bending moments, which have a predominant influence on the strength behaviour, exhibit their maximum values at the above locations. In exceptional cases (e.g. a low b1 / b2 ratio) a check calculation for location 2 may also be necessary for square cross-sections. The calculation coefficient B0n, which is a function of the normal forces, shall be: B01 = b1 / b2 for location 1 (23) B02 = 1 for location 2 (24) For Location 3, B03 can be obtained from Figure 4 as a function of the sides ratio b1 / b2 and of the corner radii ratio r / b2, or it can be calculated in accordance with Formula (25): 1222sin
