Time Dependent Values Allowable stresses (Creep
Conditions) in ASME B&PVC sec. VIII div. 1
ASME B&PVC Sec. VIII Div.1 and 2 does NOT have specific finite life requirements.
Sources: Code interpretation VIII-80-106 (Photo 4)
Material properties duration 100,000 hrs are included as part of the basis in
establishing the allowable stresses (the italic values); this is NOT an anticipated nor a
design life for the pressure vessel.
