This is my take on the subject.
My actual experience for Compressor unit, Manufacturer has applied ASME U stamp for all the auxiliary process equipment integral to the unit like K.O. drum, Inter cooler & Bypass Cooler as part of the overall unit. They are stand alone equipment connected to the...
@ Jamesl & Prex;
Thank you very much for your replies.
I now figured-out which (I) I computed. It is the Polar moment of Inertia, Ip = 2*pi*R^3*t (approx. only) for thin walled cylinder (t < 0.1R).
The (I) which I am looking for is the inertia along X or Y axis. Since Ip = Ix + Iy and Ix is...
Hello All,
I was asked by my immediate superior to calculate the area moment of Inertia for the thin-walled cylinder to be used in the calculation of Wind axial stress, S = Mc / I.
I am not sure if my calculated I is correct, I = 2 pi R^3 t, using the general eq. I = y^2 dA.
Can anyone...
Thank you for your responses guys about my question. sorry my reply is a bit late.
I have checked the book of Harvey "Theory and design of Pressure Vessel" and I saw the photo of flatten cylinder legs while its U-bend was still intact. But the book still has not mentioned about the reason why...
Hi All,
I am just new in this forum and I have these questions;
Currently, I am calculating the max. span of U-tube under external pressure (shell side press.)
1. Do I need to add the U-bend length to the straight length for the computation of L/Do?
2. Can we consider the U-bend as...
