    Customer wants 1500 flange but code requires 2500#

    Marty, That material did work, I was able to reduce the bolts down to 1-5/8", I will discuss this option with my client. Thank you, Brian

    Customer wants 1500 flange but code requires 2500#

    Oknow, That is in interesting approach. By the way, Design P = 4375psig, Design T= 500degF, chromoly material. So let me see if I am understanding your logic. The customer wants a coded stamp vessel but the flange wont meet code, therefore we stamp the vessel but consider the pressure...

    Customer wants 1500 flange but code requires 2500#

    Lets say there was a vessel that was designed back before I was born and the code calculation specified a 2500# flange but referenced dimensions for a 1500# flange (basically, there appears to be an error in the design) and the vessel and piping system were built with 1500# flanges. Fast forward...

    E & O Insurance and Contracts for PV Designer

    As a PE, I have been designing pressure vessels for some time now at my current employer. I want to start testing the waters and do some work on the side for myself. I’m looking for advice from anyone who has come before me on this kind of endeavor. Just to be clear I want to start small on...

    Joint Efficiency with FEA

    Thank you all for your responses. I am getting some great information here. TGS4 - I realize that it was probably confusing that I posted a plot of my general membrane stress but talked about general membrane plus bending. However, the stress plot of the inner and outer surface of the vessel...

    Joint Efficiency with FEA

    Thank you in advance for taking to time to read through my questions. How do you define your allowable stress for a finite element analysis with a joint efficiency of 0.7? Code: ASME Sec VIII Div. 1 2010 (No ed) with guidance from Div. 2 for FEA Customer specific seismic requirement with...
