RFP 16 01 Yield Strength Values

ASME STANDARDS TECHNOLOGY, LLC
Request For Proposal: RFP 16-01
Yield Strength Values Up To Maximum Temperature Design
Solicitation Date: October 27, 2015

Proposal Due Date: November 23, 2015
1. Introduction
ASME Standards Technology, LLC (“ASME ST-LLC”) is soliciting a proposal from

interested respondents to determine yield strength (Sy) values up to maximum
temperature design.
This project results from a request by the ASME Pressure Technology Codes and
Standards (“PTCS”) Standards Committee to identify, prioritize, and address technology
gaps in PTCS Codes, Standards, and Guidelines, so as to maintain the technical
relevance of ASME codes and standards products.
This request-for-proposal (“RFP”) and other open ASME ST-LLC RFPs are posted at the
following ASME ST-LLC website: http://stllc.asme.org/ST-LLC_RequestsProposals.html.
2. Background
Table Y-1 of ASME Section II Part D currently provides yield strength values up to
1000°F maximum, with some yield strength values at lower temperatures. The
maximum design temperature in Tables 1A and 1B may be higher, therefore yield
strength values need to be provided to ultimately complete Table Y-1 up to the
maximum temperature design of Tables 1A-1B-5A and 5B for construction per ASME
Section VIII Divisions 1 and 2.
3. Scope of Work
a. Summary:
In Division 1 the yield strength (Sy) is used directly, or indirectly through the allowable
primary and secondary stress limit (SPS = max [3S, 2Sy]), in many of the design rules,
such as:
1) UG-28 and UG-33 – External pressure: Calculation of allowable external pressure

on cylinders and heads – Sy [see UG-28(c)(2) Step 3]
2) Part UHX – Shell-and-tube heat exchangers: Secondary stress limit in tube

sheets, channels, shells, and expansion joints – SPS

ASME ST-LLC RFP 16-01, Yield Strength Values
3) Part UHX – Fixed tube sheet heat exchangers: Allowable tube buckling stress at
design temperature – Sy
4) Appendix 1-4 – Design of Head: Yield strength at design temperature – Sy
5) Appendix 1-5 and 1-8 – Conical Reducers: Discontinuity stress limit and operating
metal temperature – SPS
6) Appendix 5 – Flanged-and-Flued and Flanged-Only Expansion Joints: Thermally

induced stress limit at operating metal temperature – SPS
7) Appendix 13 – Noncircular Vessels: Plate buckling stress at design temperature
8) Appendix 26 – Bellows Expansion Joints: Calculation of instability due to internal

pressure at design temperature – Sy
9) Nonmandatory Appendix A – Tube-to-Tube sheet Joint Loads: Calculation of tube

joint interface pressure at the operating metal temperature – Sy
Because Table Y-1 provides yield strength values up to 1000°F maximum, yield
strength values up to the maximum temperature design are needed.
Due to the large amount of missing values, the materials investigated will be restricted
to the list below, which correspond to the most commonly used materials for heat
exchangers.
