Thank you very much for your help!
After reviewing calculations, I am not sure of which "h" value to use regarding sketch (7); I have noticed final thickness strongly depends on this parameter, which was previously advised to me to be taken as equal to weld leg. But after this advice I am...
Hi,
In case of Self-energizing O-rings, strante behaviour appears when comparing integral and loose type flanges (ASME VIII, Div.1, Mandatory App. 2), calculated thickness for loose-type (sketch 4a) appear to be lower than for integral-type (sketch 7). How is it possible? I believed thickness...
gr2vessels,
Thank you for your analysis; It helped me see it a bit more clear. But my last question still remains: for example for sketch 7, which value should I take for parameter h in calculations? It does not seem to correspond to any weld dimensions...
Thank you very much again,

Hi,
Regarding flange calculations according to ASME Section VIII Div. 1 Mandatory Appendix 2, the paragraph 2-7 seems quite obscure to me; loose or integral-type formulas appear to be "interchangeable" to some degree provided a hub "is considered" or not (?). I would appreciate very much some...
doct9960,
Thank you for your fast reply, and sorry for the missing information above, where I did not tell I have multiple openings. My problem arises not from size requirements, but from spacing requirements in UG-36 (c) (3)(d), where the mentioned opening with say d1 = 1 1/2" is nearer than...
Hi,
In case of openings in flat heads, I am not fully sure of the logic linking UG-36 and UG-39 in ASME VIII Div. 1. As a first "general" appearance in the "OPENINGS AND REINFORCEMENTS" subject, one could think that openings meeting UG-36 requirements do not need to be further checked for...
Hi,
I have to design a variable section opening in a flat head; it begins with 32 mm diameter inwards, follows with a conical enlargement and ends with a BSP female thread 1 1/2", but I have not found any reference in ASME Sec. VIII Div. 1 to variable section openings. Any other similar...
