Hello,
could someone advice on the design approach for a vessel whose design pressure is greater than 3000psi(20MP) if the client stated that the vessel
should be design to ASME BPVC Section 8 Div 1. this concern is based on this provision in the code: U-1(d) The rules of this Division have been
formulated
on the basis of design principles and construction practices
applicable to vessels designed for pressures not exceeding
3000 psi (20 MPa). For pressures above 3000 psi (20 MPa),
deviations from and additions to these rules usually are
necessary to meet the requirements of design principles
and construction practices for these higher pressures.

Is section 8 Div 2 more appropriate ?

Are you asking for the design of a pressure vessel for an application that exceeds 3.0 ski, or are you inquiring on the interpretation of ASME BPVC
Section 8 Div 1, vs Div 2? You are very unclear.

Hi 143raphsea
Have a look at this thread link below:thread794-126260: Sect. VIII Div. I Over 3000 PSI

Thank you all. Yes, i was asking of design of a pressure vessel for an application that exceeds 3.0 ski. The thread suggested by desertfox is really helpful.
