SnTMan, I read the code again and you are right about the maximum allowable compressive stress.
I read the UG-33(f) and based on the post on InFlames, I developed a small program (a Excel spreadsheet) to calculate the conical straight flange dimensions.
I check the results against the program...
I have the COMPRESS build 6162. I calculated a pressure vessel with a transition. The vessel is under full vaccum at 100ºF.
A reviewer of the report questioned the value for the minimum required thickness at small end used in the calculation of expression (4) of Appendix 1-8.
What is the...
The UG-33 addresses the calculation of critical pressure relative to buckling. The critical pressure is a function of the average diameter of cone.
The Appendix 1-8 addresses the calculation of reinforcement of a cone to cylinder juncture under external pressure.
ASME defines tr as the minimum...
Unfortunately Appendix L-3.3 and Pressure Vessel Handbook - Eugene F. Megyes not address the calculation of the minimum required thickness at small end under external pressure.

I need verify the effective area of reinforcement of a cone-to-cylinder junction at small end.
The Code address the calculation of the minimum required thickness of a cone in UG-33(f), but I cannot find any procedure to calculate the minimu required thickness of cone at small end to be used in...

When a nozzle under internal pressure is put at a vertex of a conical or toriconical head is neck thickness calculate by UG-45 or only by UG-27 and 1-5 ?
I didn't find any reference in ASME VIII-1 code.

ECCS is European Convention for Constructional Steelwork and published the following document:
- "Buckling of Steel Shells, European Recommendations", 1988.
I need calcute the stress during hidro test for an ASME vessel. The formulas of ASME code (Addenda 2003), for...
I need a formula to calculate the plastic buckling pressure for a torispherical and an ellipsoidal heads.
What is ECCS formula for this plastic buckling pressure ?
I need calculate a nozzle with a configuration similar to Fig UG-40(g) of ASME VIII Division 1.
I need to known how to calculate area A5 using te given in figure UG-40(g).
Area A5 is calculated as a rectangular area
A5 = (Dp - d - 2tn)*te*fr4 ?
Or
Area A5 is calculated as a triangular area...
