Dear John,
Thank you for fast reply,
I'm aware of the issues you brought up throughout your answer, the only thing I was searching for was a simple excel file. I've already set up a excel file for reinforcing calculations acc. to ASME VIII, 31.3, 31.4. You pointed out this calcution is pretty...
Dear fellows,
Is there any excel reinforcement calculation available for welded branches according to ASME B31.8? I've been assigned to perform a reinforcing area calculation for internal pressure of a 2" XS weldolet SA 350 LF2, welded to a 20" header API 5L X65 t=11,9mm.
Thanks in advance.
ijzer,
Thank you very much for your valuable reply.
I've checked the TABLE 1-100 in ASME II Part D that establishes for room temperature and above St/3,5 for wrought or cast ferrous anf non-ferous and 0,85/3,5 x St for welded pipe or tube,ferrous and nonferrous material. You quoted " lower of...
Hello everybody,
My query is quite simple for ASME seasoned engineers.
It has to do with the ASME VIII div.1 allowable stress values for no-ASME II Part. D tabulated materials. How could I estimate/calculate these allowable stresses? I'm currently using the 0,85/3 x Min.Tensile Strength, i.e for...
Hi everybody,
Where can I find some solid vendor information on bending, torsional stiffness, effective area of expansion joints in general.
Thanks in advance!
Hi everybody,
I've recently participated in CAESAR II 5-day seminar in which I got a general idea of its use and potentials. As far as I saw the modeling set up is easy to follow but after that the restrains assessment introdused a lot of queries. Since the seminar's small duration for such a...
Hi everybody,
I dont know if piping support issues are covered in this forum division, anyhow could somebody assist on how a steel structure should be arranged so as to absorb any vibrations caused by the adjacent equipment. Are there any techniques to solve this problem?. To be more precise I'm...
Hi quys,
In a previous query I was in search of a SPECIFIC paragraph in the ASME code (VIII, 31.3,31.4,31.8) that defines the thickness over which, Post Weld Heat Treatment should be performed. This query still remains. Could someone enlight me?
Thanks everybody for your valuable advise.
My query still remains unsolved.I will try to simulate the model using the Ansys software. Will this reinforcing idea lead to a calculation of bolts with greater diameter than those used in a typical ASME B16.47 blind flange? Is this irrelevant?
Hi folks,
Here's a good one and rather strange query from the project management department.
They are about to perform a hydraulic test on venturi meters and since they are not willing to purchase blind flanges for the procedure, they are proposing to machine them so as to match the ASME B...
