Stress corrosion cracking in 316L stainless steel bellows of a pressure safety valve

Bijayani Panda, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the failure of a pressure safety valve (PSV) in a petroleum refinery was investigated and it was found that the failure had occurred due to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) caused by a high amount of chloride ions in the operating environment.

Design of Pressure Vessels for Low-Cycle Fatigue

B. F. Langer
- 01 Sep 1962 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a fatigue curve based on strain-fatigue data for use in pressure vessel design is presented. But the focus of this paper is not on the design of a pressure vessel, but on how to evaluate the effects of combined mean and alternating stress.

Strength of U-Shaped Bellows : 5th Report, Fatigue Strength under Axial Loading

Minoru Hamada, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1966 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the fatigue strength of U-shaped bellows under axial loading is studied and a formula for estimation of the life of U -shaped Bellows made of stainless steel is proposed, where N is cycles to failure and σ is the maximum stress value calculated from the design formula or charts in the 1st or 2nd report.
