Question:
|
I see there is a consideration for lethal service
in the COMPRESS Design Settings Summary. Where is
lethal service specified in COMPRESS?
|
|
Answer:
|
COMPRESS provides the option to specify
"Lethal Service" on the ASME Codes
dialog (select the Codes menu, select ASME).
When this option is selected, the Settings
Summary will indicate "Yes" for
"Design for lethal service".
COMPRESS applies the considerations from Code
paragraph UW-2(a) for lethal service. This
includes full radiography (ie: only full RT can
be selected when lethal service is specified),
as well as some additional restrictions as
described in UW-2(a).
