This report provides guidance for the design of components for concentrating power facilities operating at high temperatures and undergoing high, secondary thermal stresses relative to the applied primary pressure stress. The design rules were developed for the design of Generation 3 CSP tubular receivers manufactured from Alloy 740H, but are generally applicable to a wide range of component types undergoing similar loads. Part 1 of the report provides procedural design rules for components to be used in conjunction with the 2019 edition of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code. Part 2 provides corresponding design data for Alloy 740H. Part 3 of the report is a commentary describing the rationale behind the design rules and the data underlying the design material properties. Finally, Part 4 provides an extensive set of worked sample problems detailing the application of the rules to CSP components.
