Is there, or will there ever be, an accepted standard for a calculation method for shell design strength for cast iron or copper alloy valves?
prEN 12516-3 Shell design strength Experimental design method, can be used when the product of PSxDN is less than 3000. For valves where PSxDN is equal to, or greater than 3000, a calculation method can be used supplemented by an experimental design method such as prEN 12516-3.
