Hi all,
Can anyone point me in the right direction for assessing moment loads on a dished/ellipsoidal end, such as over rotation of the dished end flange due to excessive bolt load? (in this case for a floating head heat exchanger)
Can you use ASME VIII flange design calcs and if so how does...
Hi Guys,
I am modelling a section of pipework that is connected to a nozzle on a heat exchanger vessel with the aim of checking nozzle loads with and without a spring hanger. In order to account for the thermal expansion of the vessel I have modelled the exchanger as rigid elements fixed to an...
Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to read this thread.
Background:
Production manifold produced Circa 1990 by hot isostatic press method and welding sections together.
Certified to B 31.3 as opposed to a pressure vessel code.
Material S31803.
Op temp -36deg and charpy testing would have...
Hi guys,
So this is driving me insane I have a macro which is exporting to a text file and I need the first line to be:
<ProjectInput xmlns="http://tempuri.org/ProjectInput.xsd">
I have tried the following codes with the following responses:
As expected
Cells(1, 1).Value = "<ProjectInput...
Hi guys,
I have a large spreadsheet of data that I am trying to extract data from and put into .txt files for a programme I have got for joint analysis.
My problem is that I have one cell that informs me whether or not the joint is on the shell or the channel of a heat exchanger.
Depending on...
Hi everyone,
I have a working version of some ASME design code I have programmed into mathcad but am having trouble trying to figure out if I can use the code to iterate a solution.
There is a variable lets say X that is defined very early on in the code as a user input/initial value and is in...
I was doing some work today which involved assessing several piping runs to see if a 150 class line was good for 300 class pressures so I could produce an in service justification.
When a standard B16.5 #150 flange is assessed using the criteria in ASME 8, depending on bolt force e.g. 50%...
