How to calculate the allowable stress for hydrotest case?
Refer below references for calculation of allowable stress in hydrotest condition,
1. According to ASME Section VIII Div. 2, Clause 4.1.6.2,
Allowable stress = 95 % of yield strength
2. According to ASME Section VIII Div. 1,
Generally allowable stress = 90 % of yield strength.
Note that 90 % yield limit is not given in code but it is common praxis.
If you want to change the allowable stress at hydrotest pressure case please follow below steps,
Step-1: Select user defined safety factors from Vessel Properties<Design Conditions<Design Values<User Defined<Edit
Step-2: Change C4 % value to desired one. You will get required safety factor.
