APPENDIX P BASIS FOR ESTABLISHING ALLOWABLE STRESS VALUES

A02

P-1 The values in Tables UCI-23, UCD-23, and ULT23 are established by the Committee only. In the determination of allowable stress values for these materials, the Committee is guided by successful experience in service, insofar as evidence of satisfactory performance is available. Such evidence is considered equivalent to test data where operating conditions are known with reasonable certainty. In the evaluation of new materials, the Committee is guided to a certain extent by the comparison of test information with available data on successful applications of similar materials. (a) Nomenclature STpspecied minimum tensile strength at room temperature, ksi RTpratio of the average temperature dependent trend curve value of tensile strength to the room temperature tensile strength SYpspecied minimum yield strength at room temperature

The stress criteria, mechanical properties considered, and the factors applied to establish the maximum allowable stresses for other stress Tables are given in Appendix 1 of Section II, Part D.
