c
Comments :
Method 1
a) Technical requirements based on the choice of TR = T27J as specified in harmonised
European Material Standards and on the assumption that it is possible to achieve these
minimum properties after fabrication. Calculated from the principles of fracture mechanics
used for method 2 for C and CMn steels with yield strength < 460 MPa; and
b) based on operating experience for Ni-alloyed steels with Ni ≥ 3 % up to 9 %, for
austenitic steels and for bolts and nuts.

Method 2
Method developed from the principles of fracture mechanics and from operating experiences.
A more flexible approach than method 1 for derivation of technical requirements applicable to
C, CMn and low alloy ferritic steels with a specified minimum yield strength ≤ 500 MPa and for
austenitic-ferritic steels with a specified minimum yield strength ≤ 550 MPa. This method can
be applied for these steels to a wider range of thicknesses and temperatures than method 1
because TR must not be equal to T27J (see Figures B.2-1 to B.2-11). In addition, for ferritic
steels with max 355 MPa in PWHT condition operation experience was considered for higher
thicknesses.

b Provide specific clause or paragraph references (including the title, if any) indicating where relevant rules can be found. These
references need not be exhaustive, but should be detailed enough to establish that the standard adequately addresses the selected
failure mode.
c Provide explanatory comments indicating the background for the approach employed or other material that might be useful. For
example, brief description of failure theor(ies) used should be provided. References to academic papers and empirical testing
methods used to establish rules are encouraged.
d Reference(s) to rules or requirements that directly affect how the standard addresses the selected failure mode, e.g. formulas for
sizing wall thickness of components for resisting ductile burst.
d This section may be used to provide references and comments when design tables, empirically based rules or other approaches
are employed whose derivation is not obvious. It may also be used to provide general information on design margins (safety factors)
on material properties, etc. Many successful standards do not provide explicit design rules for certain failure modes yet do employ
combinations of material control, temperature limits or other means to provide adequate protection against failure. This section may
be used to provide information on how his standard indirectly addresses certain failure modes when explicit rules are not provided.
e References for fabrication details relevant to the selected failure mode, e.g. control of cylinder ovality, weld profiling, control of
tolerances, etc. For example, control of cylinder ovality is important for prevention of buckling of externally loaded vessels. This
section should be used to describe such fabrication controls relevant for the designated failure mode.
f Relevant requirements for base and welding materials, e.g. control of YS/UTS ratios, provisions for addressing strain hardening,
applications of heat treatment, etc. Assuring that fabrication processes have not adversely affected material properties beyond
acceptable limits can be important for preventing certain types of failures. This section should be used to describe such controls.
g References for NDT or visual inspection relevant to the selected failure mode. (If NDT is correlated to design factors, this should
be noted.)
h Provisions for final testing, i.e. hydrostatic or leak tests should be noted with specific information on normal test pressures and
control of test lower and upper test pressures.
