We're designing a pressure vessel with large (1700mm/66in) stub end nozzles. Normally for the stub nozzle we hydro with a flat plate since our pressures are usually very low (1bar/15psi). For the job I'm working on we have 3.6bar (54psi) and a flat plate won't cut it. Does anyone know if you can...
I am analyzing a piping system using AutoPIPE and can not figure out if the software calculates the static head of the system. Basically, should I set the pressure to be the design pressure at the highest point of the system or the lowest?
I am starting to mess with Div 2 calcs and my software (PVElite) is telling me that my λc is greater than 1.2 and to check 4.4.12.2(h). I can not find where in Part 4 it shows how to calculate λc. Once I know how then I can try to change my design to meet the code requirements. Anyone know where...
We have a vessel we are analyzing where there is a hemi head attached to a conical shell section. The head has a larger ID than the small end of the cone it is attached to. This was done so that the head is shorter and is close to tangential to the cone. The head comes in with a tangent angle of...
I am reviewing a vessel drawing from a Chinese manufacturer and listed on the design table directly below the joint efficiency they have a listing for "filling coefficient." Anyone have any idea what that could be?
