Hello Mandeep,
Usually the stresses due to torsional moments are low compared to the stresses due to bending moments.
Using PD5500-G or WRC-107 you see the same when only a torsional moment or only a bending moment is entered. Stresses due to torsion are low and often not mentioned in nozzle...
I read the rest of paragraph 5.8.5.5 .
My point is that for the vessel in question it is reasonably practicable to perform a vacuum test.
I just think that for this vessel(Max./min.design pressure= 7 barg/F.V.)a pressure test based on internal pressure should be enough. In our case we should...
Acc. §5.8.5.5 PD5500 a vacuum test has to be performed (where reasonably practicable).
Is this true?, since non of the other codes have this requirement.
Thanks JoeTank and Bonswa for your quick answers.
Acc. Appendix S3.2 the thickness should be acc. formula "but not less than the nominal plate thickness LISTED in 5.6.1.1".
When I see the word "listed" does this mean all values given in the table?. When I check the dictionary (grouped items) you...
Since addenda 2007 the minimum thickness for a stainless steel storage tank (A240 316L) the lower shell coarse must be 6 mm because appendix S refers to par. 5.6.1.1 note 4 (I believe). Previous addenda did not show this note so minimum thickness acc. table of this paragraph was 5 mm.
I can...
