Hello, I have an excel calculation sheet that calculates the required thickness under external pressure of a pressure vessel using ASME BPVC Div. 1, UG-28(c).
The calculation method is that you have to assume first a thickness to get some parameters in the Code based on the...
I have an existing vessel that needs to change out the catalyst with a heavier catalyst and doing verification if the existing bed support (grid with mesh sitting on top of a support ring and beams) would be able to sustain the new loading. However, existing beam is a tapered H-beam where the...
I am trying to evaluate some nozzles with applied external loads (d/D = 0.47 and 0.55) using WRC 497. These are nozzles with reinforcing pads.
When commercial softwares use WRC 107/537, they evaluate stresses on both nozzle edge and pad edge using corroded thickness. However, WRC 107/537...
