AUS & ASME PV Minimum Allowable Thickness Calcs

[james10]

Can anyone supply the formulae for determining the MAT of a cylindrical PV something simple along the lines of volume, pressure, temp. and material strength to Aus. & ASME codes, it is to make in-situ assessments of classes of unidentified PVs.
Thanks

can you be a bit more specific as to what you are trying to achieve...not sure what you mean by MAT
AUS and US specs have simple general formulas for design ...the class of the vessel depends on pressure, thickness and what level of fabrication NDT/quality has been done

I am thinking of the scenario of a PV is say 4meters long 1meter Dia operating at 700Kpa material is say 5-490 Boiler plate is there a calc from AS 1210 or 1228 that I can use to work out the minimum allowable design thickness, of course any corrosion allowance would be on top of value

start at page 100 in AS1210 , but I suggest you have a read through all the design section before you get too carried away
