ASME II materials question

03/31/2011 7:36 PM

I require a stainless steel tube (SA-213) that has a thick wall and I could not find a supplier for it. I was told that instead I should get a stainless steel bar and machine it. The allowable stress values in ASME II are based on the material form. If I used allowable stress values for a tube in my wall thickness calculations and, I will end up using a tube that is not made to SA-213, but machined out of a bar, is that allowed under ASME? Any suggestions as to what I can do about it?

Thanks!

Start by telling us the required tube size, wall thickness, length, and design pressure. I find it very hard to believe that there is not an off the shelf solution for you.
