Hello everyone.
I am looking for your advice / opinion on below.
We are having vertical equipment with 3m Dia and 8m TL to TL distance with operating fluid as full of liquid. Design code: ASME Sec VII Div.1 , Design Pressure = MAWP = 6 bar , Hydro-test Pressure = 1.3 X MAWP = 7.8 bar
We...
Dear TGS4
Thank you for welcoming me.
I really appropriated all members views and those are valuable to me.
I understand that in my past experience ( though its very small compared to all members here), i saw normally shell-nozzle analysis considers only internal pressure and nozzle loads...
Dear TGS4
Thank you for reply.
I am here to discuss different ways/views on one problem.
So requesting to keep discuss healthy than closing this topic quickly.
Thank you.
Regards

Dear NRP99
Note that even though Piping loads might include seismic/wind loads, these loads are applied only to piping attached to the vessel (amongst another loads), they are additional and independent to the combination of Pressure + Wind/Earthquake loads sustained by the vessel itself...
Dear JTE and TGS4
Thank you for reply.
I do agree that applying all Table 5.3 of Div.2 loads in commercial FEA software's are available in market.
But here I would like highlight again that analysis focus area is shell nozzle junction not whole vessel.
In order to evaluate stresses and asses...
Dear TGS4 and JTE
I am performing shell nozzle junction analysis with NOZ PRO for Div.2 Vessel.
I am using loads as internal pressure and nozzle external loads. Later I am evaluating Von Mises stress with ASME allowable.
But as this vessel is Div.2 and I am using FEA (Design By Analysis)...
Hello Everyone
We are performing FEA of nozzle by NOZZPRO software as per ASME SEC VIII DIV.2 4.1.5 Design Basis which states that,
4.1.5.1 Design Thickness. The design thickness of the vessel part shall be determined using the design-by-rule
methods of Part 4 with the load and load case...
