Can I use structural stiffing members in Pressure Vessel design to restain internal pressure??? I think not.
UG-27 and UG-32 provide formulas to detmine shell and head thickness for internal pressure. I am working with a Fabricator that claims you can use stiffing members with an FEA for internal pressure under the U-2(g) clause in the Introduction of ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 in lieu of the formulas in UG-27 and UG-32.
Help ! ! !
