When design pressure is over 3000 psi,The ASME SEC.VIII DIV.1 is applicable for this equipment?
Is there any way to apply the ASME Sec. VIII div.1 for pressure vessel over 3000 psi design pressure by stamping U1?
Thanks SnTMAn.
My intention is to use shorter hub length than 1.5*g0 because the g0 and g1 is 132 mm and hub length is 100 mm to save the cost without any deviation of ASME Code.
The flange calculation is no problem as per App.2 of ASME Sec VIII. Div.1 but our concern is the dimension...
I am gonint to design the girth flange design in case that g0 and g1 is equal.
I think that designed girth flange type is corresponding to FIG.2-4 (5) of ASME SEC.VIII DIV.1 App.2 when
g0 and g1 is equal and this girth flange neck will be connected to vessel wall by butt welding.
At this case...
Additionally, incase of exceeding 5 mm thickness of bellows expansion joint, Should i apply the EJMA only for bellows expasion joint regardless of Appendix 26 in ASME Code Sec VIII Div.1 2004 Ed ?
As i know, The EJMA shall be subject to Appendix 26 in ASME Sec VIII. div.1 because EJMA is used only for bellows when designing the fixed type heatexchanger with latest edition. but our costomer ask us to use EJMA for flanged and flued type expansion joint which is as per Appendix 5.
So we are...
