    Confused by ULT-27 Thickness of shell

    Hi all, I am confused by ULT-27 about the determination of shell minimum thickness. Per ULT-27(a) and ULT-27(b), it sounds that: Design pressure = MAWP+Loadings(per UG-22) for instance, Before the shell norminal thickness selected, how can I know MAWP? As far as I know it: MAWP may be equal...

    U stamp required for this vessel?

    Hi All, I would like to confirm something in U stamp requirement to a small pressure vessel. The design pressure is 125 psig The shell will be 12 inches pipe sch40 Ends will be cap in sch 40. Length of the shell will be 4 feet. Per my understanding to U1(c)(2)(i) of ASME VIII-1, it is within...

    Rupture Set Pressure for API 620 tank

    HI all, I run into a problem on rupture disc set pressure for a LIN storage tank. The design pressure of the LIN storage tank is P=2 psig I assumed MAWP (Maximum Allowable Working Pressure) equal to design pressure. MAWP=2.0 psig Disc rupture pressure tolerance ?P= ±50 mbar (±0.725 psi)...

    ASME B31.5 threaded joints are allowable in natural gas piping?

    pennpiper, Thanks for your message. It is a fuel gas piping line, the design pressure is around 280 psig. Since I do not have ASME B31.2, I misunderstood that should be B31.5. I am wondering if there are limits of threaded joint in B31.2. Thanks,

    Appendix 2 Flange Calculation cannot verifies a Stand ANSI flange

    Thanks for your posts. I have a problem about a flange connection. A gasket with 285mm OD x 250mm ID doesn't match raised face 285mm OD X 200mm ID of one flange (Type 11 PN63). The other is a 285mm OD X 250mm ID flange fitting. If the flange and the gasket can pass the stress verification per...

    Appendix 2 Flange Calculation cannot verifies a Stand ANSI flange

    Hi all, When I use Appendix 2 to verify ANSI flange, why the calculated flange thickness is not equal to ANSI standard thickness? In other words, if I design a non-standard flange, can I use appendix 2 to design it? Thanks in advance.

    If adding a flange on pipe nozzle, R stamp required?

    jte, If an existing vessel without a flange attached (nozzle pipe only) even if I later welded a flange on the nozzle neck, the limit of pressure vessel boundary is still in the first circumferential joint, saying case 1? Not the face of the welded flange? I totally lost. Thanks for your post.

    If adding a flange on pipe nozzle, R stamp required?

    jt, Why the pipe diameter is 6" maximum? If larger than 6", is it acceptable? Thanks in advance.

    If adding a flange on pipe nozzle, R stamp required?

    jt, I understood your idea. I hope I can convince AI for this change. After I add a long pup, it will become case (1). Thanks,

    If adding a flange on pipe nozzle, R stamp required?

    jt, Thanks for your message. I just checked code and found the limit of pressure vessel boundary when external piping or other mechanical equipment or pressure equipment is to be attached to the vessel: (1) for welded connections, the first circumferential joint (2) for screwed connections...

    If adding a flange on pipe nozzle, R stamp required?

    jt, After replacing the pipe connection by a couple of flange connection, one welded flange and welding will be within pressure vessel boundary per ASME VIII-1 definition. The inserted two 150# flanges are bolted. One is welded in piping line. The other is welded on the weld prep of the vessel...
