Calculate PR-3-805 RSTRENG flow stress from SMYS and SMTS.
Flow stress can be calculated by three methods
- Sf = 1.1 x SMYS (Plain Carbon Steel T < 120 C and Sf < SMTS) original ASME B31G
- Sf = SMYS + 69 MPA (SMYS ≤ 483 MPa, T < 120 C and Sf < SMTS) RSTRENG
- Sf = (SYT + SUT) / 2 (SMYS ≤ 551 MPa) modified ASME B31G
SYT and SUT are the temperature derated yield stress and tensile stress for temperatures above 120 C. The derating factors are valid up to 232 C (450 F). Material specific stress data should be used if it is available.
