Ok,
Not being to familiar with PD5500 I ended up googling the Allowable Stress and ended up with something around 147 Mpa based on A516 Gr. 60 UTS/Y.
For this strength I cannot make the shell withstand 2.2Mpa. I had to raise the Allowable Stress to 171MPa in order to make t = 13.7 mm enough...
Based on my understanding, no cred is given to the remaining strength of the underlying shell in Article 207/212. This makes sense to me as a Patch Plate may used to reinforce a damaged area where the damage mechanism is not halted. The underlying remaining strength may not be present in the...
I've tried for some time to understand if PCC-2 Article 212 eq.(5) assumes weld leg have the same dimensions as the required patch plate thickness, or if it's enough to go with eq.(4) for sizing the weld.
Based on the approach used by JAR10 (cred!) in the referenced thread, I've delved deeper...
Hello,
When performing a Part 5 Level 2 assessment, one may reach a pass/fail in 5.4.3.2 STEP 10 where a fail may be re-assessed through 5.4.3.4.
5.4.3.4 clearly takes supplemental loads into account. Does this mean indirect that supplemental loads may be neglected in 5.4.3.2 for the...
Hi,
For Local Metal Loss, API579 limits the diameter of horizontal vessels to D ≤ 3.05m (10 ft). Thus pressure vessels with a diameter exceeding this cannot be treated as Type A components.
I would then expect such a vessel to be a Type B or C component but I have some trouble understanding the...
