REGULATORY REVIEW RESULTS ON ALLOWABLE TENSILE STRESS VALUES OF CREEP STRENGTH ENHANCED FERRITIC STEELS

摘要

In order to evaluate long-term creep strength and to review current allowable tensile stresses of creep strength enhanced ferritic steels, a committee was organized in Japan Power Engineering and Inspection Corporation. In 2004FY and 2005FY, creep test data of Gr. 122, Gr. 91, Gr. 92, Gr. 23 and KA-SUS410J2TB steels were collected and analyzed by means of region splitting procedure in the committee. Based on the analysis, the allowable tensile stresses were reviewed in accordance with METI regulatory base. And the master curves for creep rupture life evaluation of welds were set forth furthermore based on the data analysis.
