    ASME VIII Div 1, No Nozzle, Reinforcement calcs?!

    No welding, a flanged connection with a retaining ring fits into the larger end and a flanged connection slots into the smaller end from inside (before the larger end is sealed), both are bolted from the outside with large nuts. As a bladder accumulator. Hydrotesting is done with this...

    ASME VIII Div 1, No Nozzle, Reinforcement calcs?!

    Hi All I'm designing a pressure vessel to ASME VIII Div 1 and basically the shell has not got a nozzle. Its Ellipsoidal dished ends with an 89mm hole machined out of one end and 50mm out of the other end. Does it need reinforcement and if so: How would I calculate this? Would I set tn as zero...

    Flaring Stress

    Well we had an e value in an equation that we were using. At first we were putting the e value in as the wall thickness of the cylinder, but apparently this was wrong so we were told to put e as 2.7182818 every time?!?! This seems wrong to me, what should we be taking the natural log of?

    Where the e value = 2.718281828.....

    Flaring Stress

    I am just looking for alternatives really. Baically I have looked at many variations. It is more to do with the flaring stress side of things on a threaded Cylinder (Pressure Vessel) I am looking for? Anyone have any ideas? Does this always involve the natural log value? Thanks

    Flaring Stress

    Does anybody know how to work out the Cycles to failure of an accumulator/pressure vessel? An alternative to ASME or PD5500?
