For vessels and columns ,This chapter has to be read with ASME VIII div.1 , paragraph UCS-56 , for piping the ASME B31.3 gives other curves for the bonus (for making the test temperature a bit warmer )

For storage tanks , API 650 , has its own material classification and curves for brittle fracture

---------------------

Brittle fracture is an issue for carbon steel not for stainless steel.

---------------------

Most of the time low temperature and britle fracture are the main driving factor for material selection

--------------------

I am not an expert in API 579 = I do not use API 579 for brittle assessments , as the clients want to use the Codes.

API 579 = They are some worked examples in books written by =

1/ K. Escoe

and

2/ ANTAKI

thx fathi..

i already developed calculation sheet for pipe component base on API 579..

i need some cases for pipe component

If he's in college I doubt he can afford to purchase this.

Check with the school library for a copy. If you can't find one there, check with any local engineering companies in the area for a copy.
