    Reinforcing Pad vs Gussets

    Thanks for your detailed explanation. I understand the variation of stress from 0 to 90. However I am having trouble imagining figure UG-37.1. Can you please explain it further. (I understand that for tangential nozzles, area requirement along the oblong dimension of the opening will be more if...

    API 650-intermediate wind girder-clause 5.9.6-pwd calculation

    Hello All, I have 2 queries regarding the definition of Pwv. (for the 1st value) a) Pwv is wind pressure at 10 m above ground per applicable building code considering all applicable factors, such as gust factor, exposure factor, height factor, importance factor == why is it considered only at...

    EN13445 Nozzles loads acc. to Clause 16

    Hi FPPE, Point B) mentioned in earlier post is for permission given by Code to replace Design by formula (i.e clause 16 in your case) Point A) is same as B), just it is specified under annex C. I request your attention to clause C.4.5.2 (Selection of methods for determining stresses) in Annex...

    EN 13445-Pressure Vessels-Weld gap

    Dear all, Is there any guideline or minimum distance requirement for weld gap (from weld toe to weld toe) between an external attachment (such as platform/pipe support cleats) and a cylinder L-seam or cylinder C-seam provided in EN-13445. I have come across minimum distance requirement between...

    Tube to tube sheet welding at inner face (shell side) of Tubesheet

    Hello EdStainless, Thank you for the reply. Regarding butt weld with tube mated to hub on backside of tubesheet, EN-13445 part-3 has that sketch also. Please refer below. Actually, I am enquiring about the manufacturing steps. (which tubes are welded 1st, then their NDE requirement,etc) Thanks...

    Tube to tube sheet welding at inner face (shell side) of Tubesheet

    Dear All, Has anyone come across Tube-to-tubesheet welding at inner face (shell side) of Tubesheet. Sorry if it is a foolish question. I am baffled as to how it is accomplished. Please refer below snaps from EN-13445 part-3 for reference. Thanks and regards

    ASME Sec.VIII Div-01-Appendix 1-6-dished cover-joint efficiency factor

    Dear All, For the dished covers shown in 1-6(b), 1-6(c) and 1-6(d), joint efficiency factors are not required as per code. For dished cover as per 1-6(c), it seems possible since such type of construction will mostly involve a forging. The covers for 1-6(d) will be formed as far as possible...

    How to verify the reinforcement and rigidity of large blind flange with nozzle

    Hi, FEA seems to be the only option, I had encountered the same concern, and we have performed FEA of blind flange with nozzle, as AI was insistent for resolution of external load into blind flanges. Thanks and regards
