Hello,
I am working on the design analysis calculation for a vertical vessel that is supported by three leg supports. When looking at the equations provided in Pressure Vessel Handbook the leg supports are located on the heads of the vessels. For the vessel I am performing the calculation for...
Hello everyone,
I am working on a calculation for a vessel with two saddle supports welded to it. When looking at the drawing as well as the physical vessel it appears that the saddle supports have been welded over the Category A head to shell weld, making these welds overlap. I needed some...
Hello everybody,
I am currently working on a calculation for scrubber towers. the towers have bolted on unstayed flat heads. As I have been going through the minimum thickness requirements for the flat head I ran into some questions.
ASME Section VIII Div 1 UG-34 refers to mandatory appendix...
Hello,
Below are I attached Figures 4.15.3 and 4.15.4 on this thread for convenience. My question is as to what specifically the shaded areas are referring to (stiffening ring or saddle foot) since the figures are not very specific in the labeling.
I am performing saddle support...
I am performing a calculation for a vessel according to ASME Section VIII Div 2. I got to the park of calculating the Combined Loadings and Allowable Stresses (4.3.10) and got all the way to the last step (Step 3) that states "At any point on the shell, the following limit shall be satisfied."...
Hello, I am performing the calculations for radial opening in spherical shell or formed head section of ASME VIII Div 2 (4.5.10) per the 2015 edition. My question is regarding the equation in Step 10 for Pmax2 (Eq 4.5.148) the equation states:
Pmax2=2s(t/Rxs)
When I look at the Nomenclature...
