FOREWORD

Engineers who design equipment for the chemical process industry


are sooner or later confronted with the design of pressure vessels and
mounting requirements for them.

This is very often a frustrating

experience for anyone who has not kept up with current literature
in the field of code requirements and design equations.

First he must familiarize himself with the latest version of the


applicable code.

Then he must search the literature for techniques

used in design to meet these codes. Finally he must select material


properties and dimensional data from various handbooks and company
catalogs for use in the design equations.
Mr. Megyesy has recognized this problem.

For several years he

has been accumulating data on code requirements and calculational


methods.

He has been presenting this information first in the form

of his "Calculation Form Sheets" and now has put it all together in
one place in the Pressure Vessel Handbook.
I believe that this fills a real need in the pressure vessel industry
and that readers will find it extremely useful.

PREFACE
This reference book is prepared for the purpose of making fonnulas,
technical data, design and construction methods readily available for the
designer, detailer, layoutmen and others dealing with pressure vessels.
Practical men in this industry often have difficulty finding the required
data and solutions, these being scattered throughout extensive literature
or advanced studies. The author's aim was to bring together all of the
above material under one cover and present it in a convenient fonn.
The design procedures and fonnulas of the AS ME Code for Pressure
Vessels, Section VIII Division I have been utilized as well as those
generally accepted sources which are not covered by this Code. From
among the alternative construction methods described by the Code the
author has selected those which are most frequently used in practice.
In order to provide the greatest serviceability with this Handbook,
rarely occurring loadings, special construction methods or materials have
been excluded from its scope. Due to the same reason this Handbook
deals only with vessels constructed from ferrous material by welding,
since the vast majority of the pressure vessels are in this category.
A large part of this book was taken from the works of others, with some
of the material placed in different arrangement, and some unchanged.
The author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Professor
Sandor Kalinszky, Janos Bodor, Laszl6 Felegyhazy and J6zsef Gyorfi for
their material and valuable suggestions, to the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers and to the publishers, who generously pennitted
the author to include material from their publications.
The author wishes also to thank all those who helped to improve this
new edition by their suggestions and corrections.
Suggestions and criticism concerning some errors which may remain
in spite of all precautions shall be greatly appreciated. They contribute to
the further improvement of this Handbook.

ASME CODE vs. THIS HANDBOOK


The ASME BOILER AND PRESSURE
VESSEL CODE - 2001, Sect. VIII, Div. 1
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers set up a Committee in 1911 for the
purpose of formulating standard rules for
the construction of steam boilers and other
pressure vessels that will perfonn in a safe
and reliable manner.
The Code comprises these rules.
It's scope includes vessels:
1. made of nonferrous materials, cast iron,
high alloy and carbon steel,
2. made by welding, forging, bracing, and
3. applying a wide variety of construction
methods and details.
It includes all vessels where the question
of safety is concerned.

PRESSURE VESSEL HANDBOOK2001, Twelfth Edition


The Handbook covers design and construction methods of pressure vessels:
1. made of carbon steel,
2. made by welding
3. applying construction methods and
details which are the most economical
and practical, which are in accordance
with the Code rules, and thus generally followed by the industry.
The vast majority of the pressure vessels
today fall into this category.
For construction rules and details which
are excluded from the scope of the Handbook, references are made to the applicable
Code paragraphs to avoid neglecting them.

The Code - as it is stated in paragraph UG2 - "does not contain rules to cover all
details of design and construction ... "
"where details are not given, it is intended
that the Manufacturer ... shall provide details of design and construction."

Details of design and construction not


covered by the Code are offered by the
Handbook including: Design of tall towers, wind load, earthquake, vibration, eccentric load, elastic stability, deflection,
combination of stresses, nozzle loads, reaction of supports, lugs, saddles, and rectangular tanks.

"The Code is not a handbook." "It is not


intended that this Section be used as a design handbook" as it is stated in the Foreword of the Code.

The updated and revised Code is published


in three years intervals. Addenda, which
also include revisions to the Code, are published annually. Revisions and additions
become mandatory six (6) months after the
date of issuance, except for boilers and pressure vessels contracted for prior to the end
ofthe 6 month period. (Code Foreword)

The aim of this Handbook is to be easily


handled and consulted. Tables, charts eliminate the necessity of calculations, Geometry, layout of vessels, piping codes, API
storage tanks, standard appurtenances,
painting of steel surfaces, weights, measurements, conversion tables, literature,
definitions, specification for vessels, design of steel structures, center of gravity,
design of welded joints, boIted connections, boiler and pressure vessel laws,
chemical resistance of metals, volumes, and
surfaces of vessels, provide good serviceability.
The Handbook is updated and revised in
three years intervals, reflecting the changes
of Code rules, new developments in the design and construction method, and includes the revisions of its sources.

THE ASME CODE


ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1
An internationally recognized Code published by
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
PRESSURE VESSEL - is a containment of solid, liquid or gaseous material under
internal or external pressure, capable of withstanding also various other loadings.
BOILER - is a part of a steam generator in which water is converted into steam
under pressure.
RULES OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION - Boiler explosions around the turn
of the century made apparent the need for rules governing the design and construction of vessels. The first ASME Code was published in 1914.
ISSUE TIME - The updated and revised Code is published in three years intervals
(2001 and so on). Addenda, which also include revisions to the Code, are published annually. Revisions and additions become mandatory 6 months after the
date of issuance, except for boilers and pressure vessels contracted for prior to
the end of the 6 month period. (Code Foreword)
SCOPE OF THE CODE - The rules of this Division have been formulated on the
basis of design principles and construction practices applicable to vessels designed for pressures not exceeding 3000 psi. Code U-l (d)
Vessels, which are not included in the scope of this Division, may be stamped
with the Code U Symbol if they meet all the applicable requirements of this Division. Code U-2(g)
THE DESIGN METHOD - The Code rules concerning design of pressure parts
are based on the maximum stress theory, i.e., elastic failure in a ductile metal
vessel occurs when the maximum tensile stress becomes equal to the yield strength
ofthe material.
OTHER COUNTRIES' Codes deviate from each other considerably, mainly because of differences in the basic allowable design stresses. The ASME Code's
regulations may be considered to be at midway between conservative and
unconservative design.
COMPUTER PROGRAMS - Designers and engineers using computer programs
for design or analysis are cautioned that they are responsible for all technical
assumptions inherent in the programs they use and they are solely responsible
for the application of these programs to their design. (Code, Foreword)
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION NOT COVERED - This Division ofthe Code
does not contain rules to cover all details of design and construction. Where
complete details are not given, it is intended that the Manufacturer shall provide
details which will be as safe as those provided by the rules of this Division.
Code U-2(g)

STRESSES IN PRESSURE VESSELS


Pressure vessels are subject to various loadings, which exert stresses of
different intensities in the vessel components. The category and intensity
of stresses are the function of the nature ofloadings, the geometry and construction of the vessel components.
LOADINGS (Code UG-22)
a. Internal or external pressure
b. Weight of the vessel and contents
c. Static reactions from attached equipment, piping, lining, insulation,
d. The attachment of internals, vessel supports, lugs, saddles, skirts, legs
e. Cyclic and dynamic reactions due to pressure or thermal variations
f. Wind pressure and seismic forces
g. Impact reactions due to fluid shock
h. Temperature gradients and differential thermal expansion
1.
Abnormal pressures caused by deflagration.
STRESSES (Code UG-23)

a.

Tensile stress

b. Lingitudinal
compressive stress
c. General primary membrane stress
induced by any combination of
loadings. Primary membrane stress
plus primary bending stress induced
by combination of loadings, except
as provided in d. below.
d. General primary membrane stress
induced by combination of earthquake or wind pressure with other
loadings. Seismic force and wind
pressure need not be considered to
act simulta neously.

MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE STRESS


Sa = Maximum allowable stress in
tension for carbon and low alloy steel
Code Table UCS-23; for high alloy
steel Code Table UHA-23., psi. (See
properties of materials page 186-190.)
The smaller of Sa or the value of
factor B determined by the procedure
described in Code UG 23 (b) (2)

1.5 Sa

Sa = (see above)

1.2 times the stress permitted in a., b.,


or c. This rule applicable to stresses
exerted by internal or external pressure
or axial compressive load on a cylinder.

14

STRESSES IN CYLINDRICAL SHELL

Unifonn internal or external pressure induces in the longitudinal seam two times larger unit
stress than in the circumferential seam because of the geometry of the cylinder.
A vessel under external pressure, when other forces (wind, earthquake, etc.) are not
factors, must be designed to resist the circumferential buckling only. The Code
provides the method of design to meet this requirement. When other loadings are
present, these combined loadings may govern and heavier plate will be required
than the plate which was satisfactory to resist the circumferential buckling only.
The compressive stress due to external pressure and tensile stress due to internal pressure
shall be detennined by the fonnulas:

INTERNAL PRESSURE
1.

OPERA TING PRESSURE

The pressure which is required for the process, served by the vessel, at wh ich
the vessel is normally operated.
2.

DESIGN PRESSURE

The pressure used in the design of a vessel. It is recommended to design a


vessel and its parts for a higher pressure than the operating pressure. A
design pressure higher than the operating pressure with 30 psi or 10 percent,
whichever is the greater, will satisfy this requirement. The pressure of the
fluid and other contents of the vessel should also be taken into consideration.
See tables on page 29 for pressure of fluid.

3.

MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WORKING PRESSURE

The internal pressure at which the weakest element of the vessel is loaded
to the ultimate permissible point, when the vessel is assumed to be:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)

in corroded condition
under the effect of a designated temperature
in normal operating position at the top
underthe effect of other loadings (wind load, external pressure, hydrostatic pressure, etc.) which are additive to the internal pressure.

When calculations are not made, the design pressure may be used as the
maximum allowable working pressure (MA WP) code 3-2.
A common practice followed by many users and manufacturers of pressure
vessels is to limit the maximum allowable working pressure by the head or
shell, not by small elements as flanges, openings, etc.
See tables on page 28 for maximum allowable pressure for flanges.
See tables on page 142 for maximum allowable pressure for pipes.
The term, maximum allowable pressure, new and cold, is used very often. It
means the pressure at which the weakest element of the vessel is loaded to
the ultimate permissible point, when the vessel:
(a) is not corroded (new)
(b) the temperature does not affect its strength (room temperature ) (cold)
and the other conditions (c and d above) also need not to be taken
into consideration.
4.

HYDROSTATIC TEST PRESSURE

At least 1.3 times the maximum allowable working pressure or the design
pressure to be marked on the vessel when calculations are not made to
determine the maximum allowable working pressure.
Ifthe stress value of the vessel material at the design temperature is less than
at the test temperature, the hydrostatic test pressure should be increased
proportionally.
Hydrostatic test shall be conducted after all fabrication has been completed.

16

In this case, the test pressure shall be:


1.5 X

Stress Value S At Test Temperature


Max. Allow. W. Press.
(Or Design Press.)

Stress Value S At Design Temperature

Vessels where the maximum allowable working pressure limited by the


flanges, shall be tested at a pressure shown in the table:

A Pneumatic test may be used in lieu of a hydrostatic test per Code UG-I 00
Proof tests to establish maximum allowable working pressure when the
strength of any part of the vessel cannot be computed with satisfactory
assurance of safety, prescribed in Code UG-I 0 1.
5. MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE STRESS V ALVES

The maximum allowable tensile stress values permitted for different materials
are given in table on page 189. The maximum allowable compressive stress
to be used in the design of cylindrical shells subjected to loading that produce
longitudinal compressive stress in the shell shall be determined according to
Code par. UG-23 b, c, & d.
6. JOINT EFFICIENCY
The efficiency of different types of welded joints are given in table on page
172. The efficiency of seamless heads is tabulated on page 176.
The following pages contain formulas used to compute the required wall
thickness and the maximum allowable working pressure for the most
frequently used types of shell and head. The formulas of cylindrical shell are
given for the longitudinal seam, since usually this governs.
The stress in the girth seam will govern only when the circumferential joint
efficiency is less than one-half the longitudinal joint efficiency, or when
besides the internal pressure additional loadings (wind load, reaction of
saddles) are causing longitudinal bending or tension. The reason for it is
that the stress arising in the girth seam pound per square inch is one-half of
the stress in the longitudinal seam.
The formulas for the girth seam accordingly:

PRESSURE OF FLUID
STATIC HEAD
The fluid in the vessel exerts pressure on the vessel wall. The intensity of the
pressure when the fluid is at rest is equal in all directions on the sides or at bottom
of the vessel and is due to the height of the fluid above the point at which the
pressure is considered.
The static head when applicable shall be added to the design pressure of the
vessel.
The tables below when applicable shall be added to the design pressure of the
water.
To find the pressure for any other fluids than water, the given in the tables shall
be be mUltiplied with the specific gravity of the fluid in consideration.

Table B shows the ratios of these stress values.
EXAMPLE:
1. For a wessel using SA 515-70 plate, when spot radiographed, the required
thickness 0.4426 inches and the weight of the vessel 12600 lbs.
2. What plate thickenss will be required, and what will the weight of the
vessel be using SA 285-C plate and full radiographic examination:

In case 1. The stress value of the material 17,000


In case 2. The stress value of the material 15,700
The ratio of the two stress values from Table B= 1.08 In this proportion the
required plate thickness and the weight of the vessel will be increased.
0.4426 x 1.08 = 0.4780 in.
12600 x 1.08 = 13608 lb.

EXTERNAL PRESSURE
CONSTRUCTION OF STIFFENING RINGS
LOCATION
Stiffening rings may be placed on the inside or au tside of a vessel.

SHAPE OF RINGS
The rings may be of rectangUlar or any other sections.

CONSTRUCTION
It is preferable to use plates in constructing a composite-section stiffener ring,
rather than using standard structural shapes. The reason for this lies not only in
the difficulties of rolling heavy structural shapes, but also because of the necessity to adjust the ring to the curvature of the shell. For large diameter vessels the
maximum permissible out of roundness can result in a 1 - 2 inch gap between
the shell and the ring. This can be eliminated if the vertical member of the ring is
cut out of the plate in sections. The sections can be flame cut, instead of rolled
and then butt-welded together in place.

DRAIN AND VENT


Stiffener rings placed in the inside of horizontal shells have a hole or gap at the
bottom for drainage and at the top for vent. Practically one half of a 3 inch
diameter hole at the bottom and I V2 inch diameter hole at the top is satisfactory
and does not affect the stress conditions. Figure A.
For the maximum arc of shell left unsupported because of gap in stiffening
ring, see Code Figure UG.29.2.

WELDING
According to the ASME Code (UG 30): Stiffener rings may be attached to the
shell by continuous or intermittent welding. The total length of intermittent
welding on each side of the stiffener ring shall be:
1. for rings on the outside, not less than one half the outside circumference
of the vessel;
2. for rings on the inside of the vessel, not less than one third of the circumference of the vessel.

Where corrosion allowance is to be provided, the stiffening ring shall be attached


to the shell with continuous fillet or seal weld.ASME. Code (UG.30.)
Max. Spacing
12 t for internal ring
8 t for external ring

The area of caged ladder may be approximated as 1 sq. ft. per lineal ft. Projected area
of platform 8 sq. ft.
Users of vessels usually specify wind pressure for manufacturers without reference
to the height zones or map areas. For example: 30 lb. per sq. ft. This specified pressure shall be considered to be uniform on the whole vessel.
The total pressure on a tower is the product of the unit pressure and the projected
area of the tower. With good arrangement ofth-e equipment, the exposed area of the
wind can be reduced considerably. For example, by locating the ladder 90 degrees
from the vapor line.

*Multiply values of P w with O.SO


when the horizontal cross section is hexagonal or octagonal
and with 0.60 when the horizontal cross section is circular or elliptical.

EXAMPlE:

Find the wind pressure P w from map.


The vessel is intended to operate in Oklahoma, which is in the wind pressure map area
marked 30. In this map area the wind pressures for various height zones are:
In the height zone less than 30 ft.

25 lb. per sq. ft.

In the height zone from 30-49 ft.

30 lb. per sq. ft.

For a cylindrical tower these values sha11 be multiplied by shape factor 0.6, then the
wind pressure in different zones will be 15 and IS lb. per sq. ft. respectively
If many pieces of equipment are attached to the tower it is advisable to increase the
shape factor (according to Brownell) up to 0.S5 for a cylindrical vessel.
Users of vessels usually specify the wind pressure for manufacturers without reference to height zones or map areas. For example: 30 lb. per sq. ft. This specified pressure
shall be considered to be uniform on the whole vessel.
Relation between wind pressure and wind velocity, when the horizontal cross section
is circular, is given by the formula:
P w = 0.0025 x Vw 2

where

P w = wind pressure lb. per sq. ft.


Vw = wind velocity mph

EXAMPLE:

Wind of 100 mph velocity exerts a pressure:


P w = 0.0025 x Vw 2 = 25 lbs. per sq. ft. pressure on the projected area of a cylindrical
vessel at a height of 30 feet above ground.
The total wind pressure on a tower is the product ofthe unit pressure and the projected
area of the tower. With a good arrangement of equipment the exposed area of the wind
can be reduced considerably. For example, by locating the ladder 90 degrees from the
vapor line.

The weight of the vessel results compressive stress only when eccentricity does not
exist and the resultant force coincides with the axis of the vessel. Usually the

DESIGN OF TALL TOWERS

VIBRATION
As a result of wind, tall towers develop vibration. The period of the vibration
should be limited, since large natural periods of vibration can lead to fatigue
failure. The allowable period has been computed from the maximum permissible
deflection.
The so called harmonic vibration is not discussed in this Handbook since the
trays as usually applied and their supports prevent the arising of this problem.

DESIGN OF TALL TOWERS

ECCENTRIC LOAD

Towers and their internal equipment are usually symmetrical around the vertical
axis and thus the weight of the vessel sets up compressive stress only. Equipment
attached to the vessel on the outside can cause unsymmetrical distribution of the
loading due to the weight and result in bending stress. This unsymmetrical arrangement of small equipment, pipes and openings may be neglected, but the bending
stresses exerted by heavy equipment are additional to the bending stresses resulting
from wind or seismic load.

Design of Tall Towers


ELASTIC

STABILITY

A tower under axial compression may fail in two ways because of instability:
I.
By buckling of the whole vessel (Euler buckling)
2.
By local buckling
In thin-walled vessels (when the thickness of the shell is less than one-tenth of
the inside radius) local buckling may occur at a unit load less than that required
to cause failure of the whole vessel. The out of roundness of the shell is a very
significant factor in the resulting instability. The formulas for investigation of
elastic stability are given in this Handbook, developed by Wilson and Newmark.
Elements of the vessel which are primarily used for other purposes (tray
supports, downcomer bars) may be considered also as stiffeners against buckling
if closely spaced. Longitudinal stiffeners increase the rigidity of the tower more
effectively than circumferential stiffeners. If the rings are not continuous around
the shell, its stiffening effect shall be calculated with the restrictions outlined in
the Code UG-29 (c).

The stresses furthermore shall be examined in the following conditions:


1.
2.
3.

During erection or dismantling


During test
During operation

Under these different conditions, the weight of the vessel and consequently, the
stress conditions are also different. Besides, during erection or dismantling the
vessel is not under internal or external pressure.
For analyzing the strength of tall towers under various loadings by this
Handbook, the maximum stress theory has been applied.

COMBINATION OF STRESSES (cont.)


The bending moment due to wind is decreasing from the bottom to the top of the
tower, thus the plate thickness can also be decreased accordingly.

T ABLE A, VALUES OF FACTOR m


Since the longitudinal stress due to internal pressure is one half of
the circumferential stress, one half of the required wall thickness
for internal pressure is available to resist the bending force of the
wind. From Table A, using factor m can be found the distance X
down from the top tangent line within which the thickness calculated for internal pressure satisfactory also to resist the wind

The preliminary calculation of the required wall thickness shows that at the bottom approximately 0.75 in.
plate is required, to withstand the wind load and internal
pressure, while at the top the wind load is not factor
and for internal pressure (hoop tension) only 0.25 plate
is satisfactory. For economical reasons it is advisable to
use different plate thicknesses at various heights of the
tower.
The thickness required for hoop tension (0.25 in.) serves
to resist also the wind load to a certain distance down
from the top.

DESIGN OF SKIRT SUPPORT


A skirt is the most frequently used and the most satisfactory support for vertical
vessels. It is attached by continuous welding to the head and usually the required
size of this welding determines the thickness of the skirt.
Figures A and B show the most common type of skirt to head attachment. In the
calculation of the required weld size, the values ofjoint efficiency given by the Code
(UWI2) may be used.

DESIGN OF ANCHOR BOLT

Vertical vessels, stacks and towers must be fastened to the concrete foundation,
skid or other structural frame by means of anchor bolts and the base (bearing)
ring.
The number of anchor bolts. The anchor bolts must be in multiple of four and
for tall towers it is preferred to use minimum eight bolts.
Spacing of anchor bolts. The strength of too closely spaced anchor bolts is not
fully developed in concrete foundation. It is advisable to set the anchor bolts not
closer than about 10 inches. To hold this minimum spacing, in the case of small
diameter vessel the enlarging of the bolt circle may be necessary by using conical
skirt or wider base ring with gussets.
Diameter of anchor bolts. Computing the required size of bolts the area within
the root of the threads only can be taken into consideration. The root areas of
bolts are shown below in Table A. For corrosion allowance orie eighth of an inch
should be added to the calculated diameter of anchor bolts.
For anchor bolts and base design on the following pages are described:

DESIGN OF BASE RING


(Approximate Method)
The formulas below are based on the following considerations:
1. The bearing surface of the base ring shall be large enough to distribute the load
uniformly on the concrete foundation and thus not to exceed the allowable bearing load of the foundation.
2. The thickness of the base ring shall resist the bending stress induced by wind or
earthquake.

DESIGN OF ANCHOR BOLT AND BASE RING

When a tower is under wind or earthquake load, on the windward side tensional
stress arises in the steel and on the opposite side compressive stress in the concrete
foundation. It is obvious then that the area of the bolting and the area of the base
ring are related. As the anchor bolt area increased, the base ring area can be
decreased. With the design method given here, the minimum required anchor bolt
area for a practical size of base ring can be found. The strength of the steel and
the concrete is different, therefore, the neutral axis does not coincide with the
centerline of the skirt.
Design procedure:
1. Determine the value of k
2. Calculate the required size and number of
anchor bolts. See page 77 Table B
3. Determine the inside and outside diameter of the
base ring
4. Check the stresses in the anchor bolts and
foundation
5. If the deviation between the allowable and
actual stresses are too large, repeat the
calculatidn
6. Calculate the base ring thickness
7. Use gu sset plates, anchor chairs or
compression ring if it is necessary for better
stress distribution in the base ring or skirt

STRESSES IN LARGE

HORIZONTAL VESSELS
SUPPORTED BY SADDLES

The design methods of supports for horizontal vessels are based on L. P. Zick's
analysis presented in 1951. The ASME published Zick's work (pressure Vessel
and Piping Design) as recommended practice. The API Standard 2510 also refers
to the analysis of Zick. The British Standard 1515 adopted this method with
slight modification and further refinement. Zick's work has also been used in
different studies published in books and various technical periodicals.
The design method of this Handbook is based on the revised analysis mentioned
above. (Pressure Vessel and Piping; Design and Analysis, ASME, 1972)
A horizontal vessel on saddle support acts as a beam with the following deviations:
1. The loading conditions are different for a full or partially filled vessel.
2. The stresses in the vessel vary according to the angle included by the saddles.
3. The load due to the weight of the vessel is combined with other loads.
LOADINGS:
1. Reaction of the saddles.

It is a recommended practice to design the vessel

for at least a full waterload.


2. Internal Pressure. Since the longitudinal stress in the vessel is only one half of
the circumferential stress, about one half of the actually used plate thickness
is available to resist the load of the weight.
3. External pressure. If the vessel is not designed for full vacuum because vacuum
occurs incidentally only, a vacuum relief valve should be provided especially
when the vessel outlet is connected to a pump.
4. Wind load. Long vessels with very small tlr values are subject to distortion
from wind pressure. According to Zick "experience indicates that a vessel
designed to 1 psi. external pressUre can successfully resist external loads encountered in normal service."
5. Impact Loads. Experience shows, that during shipping, hardly calculable impact loads can damage the vessels. When designing the width of the saddles
and the weld sizes, this circumstance is to be considered.

87
LOCATION OF SADDLES.
The use of only two saddles is preferred both statically and economically over
the multiple support system, this is true even if the use of stiffener rings is
necessary. The location of the saddles is sometimes determined by the location
of openings, sumps, etc., in the bottom of the vessel. If this is not the case,
then the saddles can be placed at the statically optimal point. Thin walled
vessels with a large diameter are best supported near the heads, so as to utilize
the stiffening effect of the heads. Long thick walled vessels are best supported
where the maximal longitudinal bending stress at the saddles is nearly equal to the
stress at the midspan. This point varies with the contact angle of the saddles. The
distance between the head tangent line and the saddle shall in no case be more than
0.2 times the length of the vessel. (L)
Contact Angle (J
The minimum contact angle suggested by the ASME Code is 1200 , except for
very small vessels. (Code Appendix 0-6). For unstiffened cylinders under external pressure the contact angle is mandatorily limited to 120 by the ASME Code.
(U0-29).
Vessels supported by saddles are subject to:
1. Longitudinal bending stress
2. Tangential shear stress
3. Circumferential stress

STRESSES IN VESSELS ON TWO SADDLES

NOTES:
Positive values denote tensile stresses and negative values denote compression.

The maximum bending stress Sl may be either tension or compression.


Computing the tension stress in the formula for S 1, for factor K the values of
K 1 shall be used.
Computing the compression stress in the formula for Sl' for factor K the values
of Kg shall be used.
When the shell is stiffened, the value of factor K = 3.14 in the formula for Sl.
The compression stress is not factor in a steel vessel where t/R ~ 0.005 and the
vessel is designed to be fully stressed under internal pressure.
Use stiffener ring if stress S 1 exceeds rhe maximum allowable stress.

If wear plate is used, in formulas for S2 for the thickness ts may be taken the
sum of the shell and wear plate thickness, provided the wear plate extends R/l 0
inches above the horn of the saddle near the head and extends between the
saddle and an adjacent stiffener ring.

In unstiffened shell the maximum shear occurs at the horn of the saddle. When
the head stiffness is utilized by locating the saddle close to the heads, the
tangential shear stress can cause an additional stress (S3) in the heads. This
stress shall be added to the stress in the heads due to internal pressure.
When stiffener rings are used, the maximum shear occurs at the equator.
If wear plate is used, in formulas for S4 for the ~ickness ts may be taken the
sum of the shell and wear plate thickness and for ts may be taken the shell thickness squared plus the wear plate thickness squared, provided the wear plate
extends R/l 0 inches above the horn of the saddle, and A""-R/2. The combined
circumferential stress at the top edge of the wear plate should also be checked.
When checking at this point: ts = shell thickness,
b = width of saddle
fJ = central angle of the wear plate but not more
than the included angle of the saddle plus 12 0
If wear plate is used, in formulas for S5 for the thickness ts may be taken the
sum of the shell and wear olate thickness, provided the width of the wear plate
equals at least b + 1.56v'"'Rt;
If the shell is not stiffened, the maximum stress occurs at the horn of the saddle.
This stress is not be to added to the internal pressure-stress.
In a stiffened shell the maximum ring-compression is at the bottom of shell.
Use stiffener ring if the circumferential bending stress exceeds the maximum
allowable stress.

NOTES:
1. In figures & formulas A-F positive signs denote tensile stresses and nega-

tive signs denote compression.


2.

The first part of the formulas for S6 gives the direct stress and the second
part gives the circumferential bending stress.

3.

If the governing combined stress is tensional, the stress due to internal


pressure, PR shall be added.

CALCULATION OF MOMENT OF INTERIA (I)


1. Determine the width of shell that is effective to resist the circumferential bending moment. The effective width = 1.56~; 0.78~ on both sides of stiffener
ring.
2.

Divide the stiffener ring into rectangles and calculate the areas (a) of each
rectangle, including the area of shell connection within the effective width.
Add the areas (a) total area = A.

3.

Multiply the areas (a) with the distances OJ from the shell to the center of
gravity of the rectangles. Summarize the results and denote all AY

4.

Determine the neutral axis of the stiffening ring, the distance (C) from the shell
to the neutral axis C = ~y

5.

Determine the distances (h) from the neutral axis to the center of gravity of
each rectangle of the stiffener.

6.

Multiply the square of distances (h 2) by the areas (a) and summarize the
results to obtain AH2.

7.

Calculate the moment of inertia Ig of each rectangle Ig =


width and d = the depth of the rectangles.

8.

The sum of AH2 and Ilg gives the moment of intertia of the stiffener ring and
the effective area of the shell.
See example calculations on the following pages.

MAX.
EFFECTIVE
AREA

1.

The saddle at the lowest section must resist the horizontal force (F). The effective
cross section of the saddle to resist this load is one third of the vessel radius (R).

F=KlIQ, Where

Q= the load on one saddle, lbs.


KII

= constant as tabulated.

The average stress shall not exceed two thirds ofthe compression yield point ofthe
material. (See example below.)

Contact Angle

.318

EXAMPLE:
Diameter of vessel = 8' - 6"
Weight of vessel = 375,000 Ibs.
Q = 187,500 Ibs.
Saddle material: SA 285 C
Web plate thickness = 0.25 in.
Contact angle = 1200
KIt = 0.204 from table above
Rl3 = 51/3 = 17 inches
Force, F = K/l X Q = 0.204 x 187,500 = 38,250 lb.
To resist this force the effective area of web plate = Rl3 x 0.25
38,250/4.25 = 9,000 Ibs. per square inch.
The allowable stress = ~ x 30,000

= 4.25 in?

= 20,000 psi.

The thickness of the web plate is satisfactory for horizontal force (F).
2. The base plate and wear plate should be thick enough to resist longitudinal bending over the web.
3. The web plate should be stiffened with ribs against the buckling.

EXPANDING VESSEL

CONTRACTING VESSEL

For thermal expansion and contraction, one of the saddles, preferably the one
on the opposite side of the pipe connections, must be allowed to move. In this
saddle for the anchor bolts slots are to be used instead of holes. The length of
the slots shall be determined by the expected magnitude of the movement. The
coefficient of linear expansion for carbon steel per unit length and per degree
F =0.0000067. The table below shows the minimum length of the slot. Dimension "a" calculated for the linear expansion of carbon steel material between 70 0 F
and the indicated temperature. When the change in the distance between the saddles
is more than 3/8" inch long, a slide (bearing) plate should be used. When the
vessel is supported by concrete saddles, an elastic, waterproof sheet at least 1/4"
thick is to be applied between the shell and the saddle.

SADDLE
FOR SUPPORT OF HORIZONTAL VESSELS

,"min.

---t......-H

~~--------A--------~~

The design based on:


1. the vessel supported by two saddles
2. to resist horizontal force (F) due to the maximum operating weight ofvessel
as tabulated.
3. the maximum allowable stress is % of the compression yield point: % of
30,000 = 20,000 psi.
4. the maximum allowable load on concrete foundation SOO psi.
S. the minimum contact angle of shell and saddle 120.
Weld: 1;4" continuous fillet weld all contacting plate edges.
Drill and tap 1;4" weep holes in wear plate.
At the sliding saddle the nuts of the anchor bolts shall be hand-tight and secured
by tack welding.

LIFTING ATTACHMENTS (cont.)
RECOMMENDED MATERIAL: A 515-70, A 302 or equivalent. The thickness,
and length of the lifting lug shall be determined by calculation:
WELD: When fillet welds are used, it is recommended that throat areas be at
least 50 per cent greater than the cross sectional area of the lug.
To design the lugs the entire load should be assumed to act on one lug.
All possible directions of loading should be considered (during shipment, storage,
erection, handling.) When two or more lugs are used for multileg sling, the angle between each leg of the sling and the horizontal should be assumed to be 30
degrees.
EYE - BOLT
Threaded fasteners smaller
than 5/8" diameter should
not be used for lifting
because of the danger of
over torquing during assembly.
-M!IOA--~W

Commercial eyebolts are


supplied with a rated breaking strength in the X
direction.
For loadings other than along
the axis of the eyebolt, the
following ratings are recommended. These are expressed
as percentage of the rating
in the axial direction.
X = 100% Y = 33%
Z = 20% W = 10%

EXAMPLE:
An eyebolt of 1 in. diameter which is good for 4960 lb. load in tension (direction
x) can carry only 4960 x 0.33 = 1637 lb. load if it acts in direction y.
The above dimensions and recommendations are taken from C. V. Moore: Designing
Lifting Attachments, Machine Design, March 18, 1965.

Assuming shear load only thru the minimum section, the required thickness
may be calculated by the formula:

t= - - - - - -

28 (R-D f2.J
1

where

t =required thickness of lug, in.


P

=load, lbs.

=allowable shear stress, psi.

See page 459 for design of weld and length of lug.

121

SAFE LOADS FOR ROPES AND CHAINS

The stress in ropes and chains under load is increasing with the reduction of the
angle between the sling and the horizontal. Thus the maximum allowable safe
load shall be reduced proportionally to the increased stress.
If the allowable load for a single vertical rope is divided by the cosecant of the
angle between one side of the rope and the horizontal, the result will indicate
the allowable load on one side of the inclined sling.
Example:
The allowable load for a rope in vertical position is SOOO lb. If the rope applied
to an angle of 30 degrees, in this position the allowable load on one side will be
SOOO/cosecant 30 deg. = SOOO/2 = 4000 lb. For the two-rope sling the total
allowable load 2 times 4000 = SOOO lb. The table shows the load-bearing capacity
of ropes and chains in different positions. Multiplying with the factors shown in
the table the allowable load for a certain rope or chain, the product will indicate
the allowable load in inclined position.

OPENINGS
SHAPE OF OPENINGS:
Openings in pressure vessels shall preferably be circular, elliptical or obround.
An obround opening is one which is formed by two parallel sides and semicircular ends. The opening made by a pipe or a circular nozzle, the axis of which is not
perpendicular to the vessel wall or head, may be considered an elliptical opening
for design purposes.
Openings may be of shapes other than the above. Code UG-36(a)(2)
SIZE OF OPENINGS:
Openings are not limited as to size.
The rules, construction details of this handbook conform to the Code UG-36
through UG-43 and apply to openings:
for maximum 60 in. inside-diameter-vessel one half ofthe vessel diameter,
but maximum 20 in.
for over 60 in. inside-diameter-vessel one third of the vessel diameter, but
maximum 40 in.
For openings exceeding these limits, supplemental rules of Code Appendix 1-7
shall be satisfied Code UG-36(b)(1)
For nozzle neck thickness see page 140.
WHERE EXTERNAL PIPING IS CONNECTED TO THE VESSEL, THE SCOPE OF
THE CODE INCLUDES:
(a) the welding end connection fQr the first circumferential joint for welded
connections,
(b) the first threaded joint for screwed connections,
(c) the face of the first flange for bolted, flanged connections,
(d) the first sealing service for proprietary connections or fittings.
Code U-I (e)(1)

123

INSPECTION OPENINGS
All pressure vessels for use with compressed air and those subject to internal
corrosion, erosion or mechanical abrasion, shall be provided with suitable
manhole, handhole, or other inspection openings for examination and cleaning.
The required inspection openings shown in the table below are selected from the
alternatives allowed by the Code, UG-46, as they are considered to be the most
economical.

inspection can be made conveniently,
and providing such openings are equivalent in size and number to the requirement of the table. UG-46(c).
4. for vessels (not over 36 in. 1.0.) which
are provided with teltale holes (one
hole min. per 10 sq. f1.) complying
with the provisions of the Code UG-25,
which are subject only to corrosion
and are not in compressed air service.
UG-46(b).

The preferable location of small inspection openings is in each head or near each
head.
In place of two smaller openings a single opening may be -used, provided it is of
such size and location as to afford at least an equal view of the interior.
Compressed air as used here is not intended to include air which has had moisture
removed to the degree that it has an atmospheric dew point of 50 F or less. The
manufacturer's Data Report shall include a statement "for noncorrosive service"
and Code paragraph number when inspection openings are not provided.
NOZZLE NECK THICKNESS
The wall thickness of a nozzle neck or other connection used as access or
inspection opening only shall not be less than the thickness computed for the
applicable loadings plus corrosion allowance.

REINFORCEMENTS OF OPENINGS
DESIGN FOR INTERNAL PRESSURE
Vessels shall be reinforced around the openings, except single, welded and flued
openings not subject to rapid pressure fluctuations do not require reinforcement if
not larger than:
3Y:z in. diameter in not over 3/8 in. thick vessel wall;
23/ 8 in. diameter in over 3/8 in. vessel wall.
Threaded, studded or expanded connections for which the
hole cut is not greater than 23/ 8 in. diameter.
(Code UG-36(c)(3)(a)
The design procedure described on the following pages conforms to Code UG-36 through UG-43.
For openings exceeding these limits supplemental rules of Code 1-7 shall be applied
in addition to UG-36 through UG-43.
For reinforcement of openings in flat heads see Code UG-39.
A brief outline of reinforcement design for better understanding of the procedure is
described in the following pages.
The basic requirement is that around the opening the vessel must be reinforced with
an equal amount of metal which has been cut out for the opening. The reinforcement
may be an integral part of the vessel and nozzle, or may be an additional reinforcement
pad. (Fig. A)
This simple rule, however, needs further refinements as follows:
1. It is not necessary to replace the actually removed amount of metal, but only the
amount which is required to resist the internal pressure (A). This required thickness of the vessel at the openings is usually less than at other points of the shell
or head.
2. The plate actually used and nozzle neck usually are thicker than would be required according to calculation. The excess in the vessel wall (AJ) and nozzle
wall (A.z) serve as reinforcements. Likewise the inside extension of the opening
(A 3) and the area of the weld metal (A-/) can also be taken into consideration as
reinforcement.
3. The reinforcement must be within a certain limit.
4. The area of reinforcement must be proportionally increased if its stress value is
lower than that of the vessel wall.
5. The area required for reinforcement must be satisfied for all planes through the
center of opening and normal to vessel surface.
The required cross sectional area of the reinforcement shall then be:
The required area for the shell or head to resist the internal pressure (A). From
this area subtract the excess areas within the limit (AjA2A3A-/). If the sum of the
areas available for reinforcement (Aj+A 2+A 3+A-/) is equal or greater than the area
to be replaced (A), the opening is adequately reinforced. Otherwise the difference must be supplied by reinforcing pad (A5).
Some manufacturers follow a simple practice using reinforcing pads with a crosssectional area which is equal to the metal area actually removed for the opening. This
practice results in oversized reinforcement, but with the elimination of calculations
they find it more economical.

For vessels under internal pressure the total cross-sectional


area required for reinforcement of openings shall not be
less than:
A = d Xl" where
d = the inside diameter of opening in its corroded condition,
inches.
t, = the required thickness of shell or head computed by the
applicable formulas using E = 1.0 when the opening is in
solid plate or in a category B joint. When opening passes
through any other welded joint, E = the efficiency of that
joint. When the opening is in a vessel which is radiographically not examined, E = 0.85 for type No.1 joint
and E = 0.80 for type No.2 joint.
When the opening and its reinforcement are entirely
within the spherical portion of a flanged and dished head,
t, is the thickness required by the applicable formulas
using M= 1.
When the opening is in a cone, t, is the thickness required
for a seamless cone of diameter, D measured where the
nozzle axis intersects with the wall of the cone.
When the opening and its reinforcement are in a 2: I ellipsoidal head and are located entirely within a circle the
center of which coincides with the center of the head and
the diameter of which is equal to 0.8 times the head
diameter, t, is the thickness required for seamless sphere
of radius 0.9 times the diameter of the head.
If the stress value of the opening's material is less than
that of the vessel material, the required area A shall be
increased. (See next page for examples.)

It is advisable to use for reinforcing pad material identical

No credit shall be takenJor additional strength of reinforcement having higher stress value than that of the vessel wall.
EXAMPLES:

a. The stress value of nozzle material: 17,100 psi.


The stress value of shell material: 20,000 psi.
Ratio 17,100/20,000=0.855
To the required area, A shall be added:
+2t/1 tr(1-0.855)
b. From the area AI shall be subtracted:
-2t/1X (t-t r) (1-0.855)

2.

Using identical material for the vessel and reinforcing


pad, the required area for reinforcement is 12 square
inches.
If the stress value of vessel material = 20,000 psi.,
the stress value of the nozzle material = 17,100 psi.,
ratio 20,000117, 100 = 1.17
In this proportion shall be increased the area ofreinforcing pad:

REQUIRED WALL THICKNESS FOR PIPES


UNDER INTERNAL PRESSURE

The required wall thickness for pipes, tabulated on the following pages, has been
computed with the following formula:

PR
t= SE-O.6P

, where

t = the required minimum wall thickness of pipe, in.


P = internal pressure, psig.
S = 17,100 psig. the stress value of the most commonly used materials for pipe.
A 53 B and A 106 B @ temp~rature -20 to 650F.
E = Joint efficiency of seamless pipe
R = inside radius of the pipe, in.
For the inside diameter of the pipe round figures are shown. With interpolation
the required thickness can be determined with satisfactory accuracy.
The thicknesses given in the tables do not include allowance for corrosion.
For the determination of the required pipe wall thickness in piping systems the
various piping codes shall be applied.
Selecting pipe, the 12.5% tolerance in wall thickness shall be taken into consideration. The minimum thickness of the pipe wall equals the nominal thickness
times .875.

NOZZLE EXTERNAL FORCES AND MOMENTS IN


CYLINDRICAL VESSELS
Piping by the adjoining nozzles exert local stress in the vessel. The method, below, to determine
the nozzle loads is based in part on the Bulletin 107 of Welding Research Council and represents
a simplification of it. The vessels are not intended to serve as anchor points for the piping. To
avoid excessive loading in the vessel, the piping shall be adequately supported.

External Forces & Moments

To calculate the maximum force and moment, first evaluate p and y. Then determine
a, I, and L1 from Figures I, 2 and 3, for the specified p and y, substitute into the
equations below, and calculate F RRF, MRCM and MRLM.

P =.875 (~:)

Determine a, I and L1 from Figures I, 2 and 3.

WELDING
OF PRESSURE VESSELS
There are several methods to make welded joints. In a particular case the choice
of a type from the numerous alternatives depend on:
1. The circumstances of welding
2. The requirements of the Code
3. The aspect of economy

1. THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF WELDING.


In many cases the accessibility of the joint determines the type of welding. In
a small diameter vessel (under 18 - 24 inches) from the inside, no manual
welding can be applied. Using backing strip it must remain in place. In larger
diameter vessels if a man way is not used, the last (closing) joint can be welded
from outside only. The type of welding may be determined also by the
equipment of the manufacturer.
2. CODE REQUIREMENTS.
Regarding the type of joint the Code establishes requirements based on service,
material and location of the welding. The welding processes that may be used
in the construction of vessels are also restricted by the Code as described in
paragraph UW-27.
The Code-regulations are tabulated on the following pages under the titles:

a. Types of Welded Joints


(Joints permitted by the Code, their efficiency and limitations of their
applications.) Table UW-12

b. Design of Welded Joints


(Types of Joints to be used for vessels in various services and under certain design conditions.) UW-2, UW-3
c. Examination of Welded Joints
The efficiency of joints depends only on the type of joint and on the degree of
examination and does not depend on the degree of examination of any other
joint. (Except as required by UW-ll(a)(5)
This rule of the 1989 edition of the Code eliminates the concept of collective
qualification of butt joints, the requirement of stress reduction.
3. THE ECONOMY OF WELDING.
If the two preceding factors allow free choice, then the aspect of economy
must be the deciding factor.
Some considerations concerning the economy of weldings:
V-edge preparation, which can be made by torch cutting, is always more economical than the use of J or U preparation.

171
Double V preparation requires only half the deposited weld metal required for
single V preparation.
Increasing the size of a fillet weld, its strength increases in direct proportion,
while the deposited weld metal increases with the square of its size.
Lower quality welding makes necessary the use of thicker plate for the vessel.
Whether using stronger welding and thinner plate or the opposite is more
economical, depends on the size of vessel, welding equipment, etc. This must
be decided in each particular case.

EXAMINATION OF WELDED JOINTS


RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION
Full radiography is mandatory of joints: (Code UW-11)
1. All butt welds in shells, heads, nozzles, communicating chambers of unfired
steam boilers having design pressures exceeding 50 psi and vessels containing

lethal substances.
2. All butt welds in vessels in which the least nominal thickness at the welded
joint exceeds:
1 1/4 in. of carbon steel and 1 1/2 in. of SA-240 stainless steel
Exemption: Categories Band C butt welds in nozzles and communicating
chambers that neither exceed 10 in pipe size nor 1 1/8 in. wall thickness do not
require radiographic examination in any of the above cases.
3. All category A and D butt welds in vessel sections and heads where the design
of the joint or part is based on joint efficiency: 1.0, or 0.9. (see preceding
pages: Design of Welding Joints).
4. All butt welds joined by electroslag welding and all electrogas welding with any
single pass greater than 1 1/2 in.

Spot radiography, as a minimum, is mandatory of


1. Category B or C welds which intersect the Category A butt welds in vessel
sections (including nozzles and communicating chambers above 10 in. pipe
size and 1 in. wall thickness) or connect seamless vessel sections or heads when
the design of Category A and D butt welds in vessel sections and heads based on
a joint efficiency of 1.0 or 0.9.
2. Spot radiography is optional of butt welded joints (Type 1 or 2) which are not
required to be fully radiographed. If spot radiography specified for the entire
vessel, radiographic examination is not required of Category B and C butt
welds in nozzles and communicating chambers.
No Radiography. No radiographic examination of welded jOints is required when
the vessel or vessel part is designed for external pressure only, or when the
design of joints based on no radiographic examination.

ULTRASONIC EXAMINATION
1. In ferritic materials electroslag welds and electrogas welds with any single
pass greater than 1 1/2 in. shall be ultrasonically examined throughout their
entire length.
2. In addition to the requirements of radiographic examination, all welds made by the
electron beam process or by the inertia and continuous drive friction
welding process shall be ultrasonically examined for their entire length.
3. Ultrasonic examination may be substituted for radiography for the final closure
seam if the construction of the vessel does not permit interpretable radiograph.

BUTT WELDED JOINTS


OF PLATES OF UNEQ UAL THICKNESSES
JOINING PLATES OF UNEQUAL THICKNESSES WITH BUTT WELD, THE THICKER
PLATE SHALL BE TAPERED IF THE DIFFERENCE IN THICKNESS IS MORE THAN 1/8
IN. OR ONE-FOURTH OF THE THINNER PLATE. CODE UW-9(c), UW-13.
THE LENGTH OF THE TAPERED TRANSITION SHALL BE MINIMUM 3 TIMES THE
OFFSET BETWEEN THE ADJACENT SURFACES. THE WELD MAY BE PARTLY OR

NOTES:
1. These higher stress values exceed 2/3 but do not exceed 90% of the yield strength at temperature. Use 0

these stress values may result in dimensional changes due to permanent strain. These stress values are
not recommended for flanges or gasketed joints or other applications where slight amounts of distortion
can cause leakage or malfunction.
2. At temperatures above 1,000 F, these stress values apply only when the carbon is 0.04% or higher.
3. For temperatures above 1,000 F, these stress values may be used only if the material is heat treated by
heating it to a minimum temperature of 1,900 F and quenching in water or rapidly cooling by other
means.

SPECIFICATION
FOR THE DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF PRESSURE VESSELS
NOTES:
Pressure vessel users and manufacturers have developed certain standard practices
which have proven advantageous in the design and construction of pressure vessels. This
specification includes those practices which have become the most widely accepted and
followed.
These standards are partly references to the selected alternatives permitted by the
ASME Code, and partly described design and construction methods not covered by the
Code. The regulations of the Code are not quoted in this Specification.
AGENERAL

1. This Specification, together with the purchase order and drawings, covers the requirements for the design and fabrication of pressure vessels.
2. In case of conflicts, the purchase order and drawings take precedence over this
Specification.
3. Pressure vessels shall be designed, fabricated, inspected and stamped in accordance with the latest edition ofthe ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section
VIII, Division 1, and its subsequent addenda.
4. Vessels and vessel appurtenances shall comply with the regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
5. Vessel Manufacturers are invited to quote prices on alternate materials and construction methods if economics or other aspects make it reasonable to do so.
6. All deviations from this Specification, the purchase order, or the drawings shall have
the written approval of the purchaser.
7. Vessel fabricator, after receipt of purchase order, shall furnish to purchaser checked
shop drawings for approval.
B. DESIGN

1. Pressure Vessels shall be designed to withstand the loadings exerted by internal or


external pressure, weight of the vessel, wind, earthquake, reaction of supports, impact, and temperature.
2. The maximum allowable working pressure shall be limited by the shell or head, not
by minor parts.
3. Wind load and earthquake. All vessels shall be designed to be free-standing. To
determine the magnitude of wind pressure, the probability of earthquakes and seismic coefficients in various areas of the United States, Standard ANSIIASCE 7-95
(Minimum Design Loads in Buildings and Other Structures) shall be applied.
It is assumed that wind and earthquake loads do not occur simultaneously, thus the

vessel should be designed for either wind or earthquake loading, whichever is greater.
4. Horizontal vessels supported by saddles shall be designed according to the method
of L. P. Zick (Stresses in Large Horizontal Pressure Vessels on Two Saddle Supports).
5. The deflection of vertical vessels under normal operating conditions shall not exceed 6 inches per 100 feet oflength.

196
Specification for the Design and Fabrication of Pressure Vessels (continued)
6. Stresses in skirts, saddles, or other supports and their attachment welds may exceed
the maximum allowable stress values of materials given in Part UCS of the ASME
Code by 33-1/3 percent.
7. Vessel manufacturers shall submit designs for approval when purchaser does not
furnish a design or does not specify the required plate thickness.

c. FABRICATIUN
1. Materials shall be specified by purchaser and their designation indicated on the
shop drawings. Materials shall not be substituted for those specified without prior
written approval of purchaser.
2. The thickness of plate used for shell and heads shall be 1/4-inch minimum.
3. Manufacturer's welding procedure and qualification records shall be submitted for
approval upon receipt of purchase order. Welding shall not be performed prior
to purchaser's approval of welding procedure and qualification.
All welding shall be done by the metallic shielded arc or the submerged arc
welding process.
Permanently installed backing strips shall not be used without written approval of
purchaser. When used, backing strips shall be the same composition steel as that
which they are attached to.
4. Longitudinal seams in cylindrical or conical shells, all seams in spherical shells and
built-up heads shall be located to clear openings, their reinforcing pads, and saddlewear plates. Circumferential seams of shell shall be located to clear openings,
their reinforcing pads, tray and insulation support rings, and saddle wear plates.
When the covering of circumferential seam by reinforcing pad is unavoidable, the
seam shall be ground flush and examined prior to welding the reinforcing pad
in place.
No longitudinal joints shall be allowed within the downcomer area or at any other
place where proper visual inspection of the weld is impossible.
The minimum size of fillet weld serving as strength weld for internals shall be
1/4 inch.
5. Skirt. Vertical vessels shall be provided with a skirt which shall have an outside
diameter equal to the outside diameter of the supported vessel .. The minimum
thickness for a skirt shall be 1/4 inch.
Skirts shall be provided with a minimum of two 2-inch vent holes located as high
as possible 180 degrees apart.
Skirts 4 feet in diameter and less shall have one access opening; larger than 4-foot
diameter skirts shall have two I8-inch 0.0. access openings reinforced with sleeves.
6. Base rings shall be designed for an allowable bearing pressure on concrete of 625 psi.
7. Anchor bolt chairs or lug rings shall be used where required and in all cases where
vessel height exceeds 60 feet. The number of anchor bolts shall be in multiples
of 4; a minimum of 8 is preferred.
8. Saddle. Horizontal vessels shall be supported by saddles, preferably by only two
whenever possible.
Saddles shall be welded to the vessel, except when specifically ordered to be
shipped loose. Saddles to be shipped loose shall be fitted to the vessel and matchmarked for field installation. The shop drawing shall bear detailed instruction
concerning this.

197
Specification for the Design and Fabrication of Pressure Vessels (continued)
When temperature expansion will cause more thao 3/8 inch change in the distance
between the saddles, a slide bearing plate shall be used. Where the vessel is
supported by concrete saddles 1/4 inch thick, corrosion plate 2 inches wider than
the concrete saddle shall be welded to the shell with a continuous weld. The
corrosion plate shall be provided with a 1/4 inch vent hole plugged with plastic
sealant after the vessel has been pressure tested.
9. Openings of 2 inches and smaller shall be 6000 lb forged steel full or half
coupling.
Openings 2-1/2 inches and larger shall be flanged.
Flanges shall conform to Standard ANSI BI6.5-1973.
Flange faces shall be as follows:
Raised face.

below rating 600 lb ANSI

Raised face.

rating 600 lb ANSI, pipe size 3 inches and smaller

Ring type joint.

rating 600 lb ANSI, pipe size 4 inches and larger

Ring type joint.

above rating 600 lb ANSI.

Flange-bolt-holes shall straddle the principal centerlines of the vessel. Openings


shall be flush with inside of vessel when used as drains or when located so that
there would be interference with vessel internals. Internal edges of openings shall
be rounded to a minimum radius of 1/8 inch or to a radius equal to one-half of the
pipe wall thickness when it is less than 1/4 inch.
When the inside diameter of the nozzle neck and the welding neck flange or
welding fitting differ by 1/16 inch or more, the part of smaller diameter shall be
tapered at a ratio 1:4.
Openings shall be reinforced for new and cold, as well as for corroded condition.
The plate used for reinforcing pad shall be the same composition steel as that used
for the shell or head to which it is connected.
Reinforcing pads shall be provided with a" 1/4 inch tapped tell-tale hole located at
90 off the longitudinal axis of vessel.
The minimum outside diameter of the reinforcing pad shall be 4 inches plus the
outside diameter of the opening's neck.
When covers are to be provided for openings according to the purchaser's requisition, manufacturer shall furnish the required gaskets and studs; these shall not be
used for testing the vessel.
Manway covers shall be provided with davits.
Coupling threads must be clean and free from defects after installation.
10. Internals. Trays shall be furnished by tray fabricator and installed by vessel
manufacturer. Tray support rings and downcomer bolting bars shall be furnished
and installed by vessel manufacturer. The tray fabricator shall submit complete
shop details, including installation instructions and packing list, to purchaser for

RECTANGULAR

TANKS

UNDER HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE

:;'lat-walled tanks due to their mechanically disadvantageous shape are used for low
lydrostatic pressure only. The quantity of material required for rectangular tanks is
righer than for cylindrical vessels of the same capacity. However, sometimes the applicaion of rectangular tanks is preferable because of their easy fabrication and the good
ltilization of space.
MAXIMUM SIZE

Unstiffened tanks may be not larger than 30 cu. ft. and tanks with stiffenings, 140 cubic
feet capacity.
::;or larger tanks, the use of stay rods is advisable for economic reasons.

CORROSION
Vessels or parts of vessels subject to thinning by corrosion, erosion or mechanical
abrasion shall have provision made for the desired life of the vessel by suitable
increase in the thickness of the material over that determined by the design
formulas, or by using some other suitable method for protection (Code UG-25b).
The Code does not prescribe the magnitude of corrosion allowance except for vessels
with a required minimum thickness of less than 0.25 in. that are to be used in steam,
water or compressed air service, shall be provided with corrosion allowance of not less
than one-sixth of the required minimum thickness. The sum of the required minimum
thickness and corrosion allowance need not exceed 1/4 in. This requirement does not
apply to vessel parts designed with no x-ray examination or seamless vessel parts
designed with 0.85 joint efficiency. (Code UCS-25).
For other vessels when the rate of corrosion is predictable, the desired life of the vessel
will determine the corrosion allowance and if the effect of the corrosion is indeterminated, the judgment of the designer. A corrosion rate of 5 mils per year (lI16 in. = 12
years) is usually satisfactory for vessels and piping.
The desired life time of a vessel is an economical question. Major vessels are
usually designed for longer (15-20 years) operating life time, while minor vesse1s
for shorter time (8-10 years).
The corrosion allowance need not be the same thickness for all parts of the vessel if
different rates of attack are expected for the various parts (Code UG-25 c).
There are several different methods for measuring corrosion. The simplest way is the
use ofteltale holes (Code UG-25 e) or corrosion gauges.
Vessels subject to corrosion shall be supplied with drain-opening (Code UG-25 0.
All pressure vessels subject to iinternal corrosion, erosion, or mechanical abrasion
shall be provided with inspection opening (Code UG-46).
To eliminate corrosion, corrosion resistant materials are used as lining only, or for the
entire thickness of the vessel wall.
The rules of lining are outlined in the Code in Part UCL, Apendix F and Par. UG-26.
The vessel can be protected against mechanical abrasion by plate pads which are
welded or fastened by other means to the exposed area of the vessel.
In vessels where corrosion occurs, all gaps and narrow pockets shall be avoided by
joining parts to the vessel wall with continuous weld.
Internal heads may be subject to corrosion, erosion or abrasion on both sides.

SELECTION OF CORROSION RESISTANT MATERIALS

The tabular information on the following pages is an attempt to present a summarized


analysis of existing test data. It is necessarily brief and, while the utmost precautions
have been taken in its preparation, it should not be considered as infallible or applicable
under all conditions. Rather, it should be looked upon as a convenient tool for use in
determining the degree of safety which various materials are capable of providing and
in narrowing down the field of investigation required for final selection. This particularly applies where failure due to corrosion may produce a hazardous situation or result
in expensive down-time.
Footnotes have been generously used to explain and further clarify information contained in this table. It is most important that these notes be carefully read when using
the table.
In rating materials, the letter "A" has been used to indicate materials which are
generally recognized as satisfactory for use under the conditions given. The letter "F"
signifies materials which are somewhat less desirable but which may be used where a low
rate of corrosion is permiSSible or where cost considerations justify the use of a less
resistant material. Materials rated under the letter "c" may be satisfactory under certain
conditions. Caution should be exercised in the use of materials in this classification
unless specific information is available on the corroding medium and previous experience
justifies their use for the service intended. The letter "X" has been used to indicate
materials generally recognized as not acceptable for the service.
Information on metals has been obtained from the International Nickel Company,
the Dow Chemical Company, the Crane Company, the Haynes-Stellite Company,
"Corrosion Resistance of Metals and Alloys" by McKay & Worthington, "Metals and
Alloys Data Book" by Samuel L. White, "Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering" and
"The Chemical Engineers' Handbook," Third Edition by McGraw-Hill.
NOTES - GASKET MATERIALS
I.

The generally accepted temperature limit for a good grade compressed asbestos sheet, also called
asbestos composition sheet, is 7500F. However, some grades are successfully used at considerable higher temperatures. This type of sheet is used for smooth flanges. For rough flanges,
gaskets cut from asbestos-metallic sheet or formed by folding asbestos-metallic cloth are preferred. The latter ,and gaskets cut from felted asbestos sheet, are indicated for flanges when
bolt pressures are necessarily limited because of the type of flange meterial.

II. Data from the Pfaulder Company are given from the special point of view of the suitability of the
gasket material for use with glass-lined steel equipment.
III. Data in this column apply specifically to Silastic 181, a special silicone rubber for use in gasketing
produced by Dow-Corning Corporation.
IV. Fiberglas fabric filled with Silastic silicone rubber (polysiloxane elastomer) has a usable compressibility of about 20 per cent and shows the chemical resistance cited here over the temperature
range from -85 to 3920F. For Fiberglas fabric filled with chemically resistant synthetic rubber,
the temperature range is approximately -40 to 2570F. Both the silicone rubber and the ordinary
synthetic rubber are available as gasket materials in which the reinforcing fabric is a metal cloth
(brass, aluminum, iron, stainless steel). The chemical properties of these constructions are the
same as those given here for the Fiberglas-reinforced material, with the properties of the metal in
the cloth imposed upon them. The metal-cloth construction for increased mechanical strength
and electrical conductivity.

223
V. Teflon is the DuPont trade-name for polymerized tetrafluorethylene. It is completely inert in the
presence of all known chemicals. It is not affected by any known solvent or combination of
solvents. It is chemically stable up to 6170F but, being a plastic, it is not recommended for
gasket applications above 3920F or for high pressures unless confined in a tongue-and-groove or
similar joint.

PIPE AND TUBE BENDING *


In bending a pipe or tube, the outer part of the bend is stretched and the inner
section compressed, and as the result of opposite and unequal stresses, the pipe
or tube tends to flatten or collapse. To prevent such distortion, the common
practice is to support the wall of the pipe or tube in some manner during the
bending operation.

This support may be in the form of a filling material, or,

when a bending machine or fixture is used, an internal mandrel or ball-shaped


member may support the inner wall when required.

MINIMUM RADIUS:

The safe minimum radius for a given diameter, material,

and method of bending depends upon the thickness of the pipe waU, it being
possible, for example, to bend extra heavy pipe to a smaller radius than pipe of
standard weight. As a general rule, wrought iron or steel pipe of standard weight
may readily be bent to a radius equal to five or six times the nominal pipe diameter. The minimum radius for standard weight pipe should, as a rule, be three
and one-half to four times the diameter. It will be understood, however, that
the minimum radius may vary considerably, depending upon the method of bending. Extra heavy pipe may be bent to radii varying from two and one-half times
the diameter for smaller sizes to three and one-half to four times the diameter for
larger sizes.

12 - (2 x 0.476) = 11.048 inches
MINIMUM RADIUS FOR COLD BENDING:
The minimum permissible inside radius of cold bending of metals when bend lines
are transverse to the direction of the final rolling, varies in terms of the thickness,
t from 1-1/2 t up to 6 t depending on thickness and ductility of material.
When bend lines are parallel to the direction of the final rolling the above values
may have to be approximately doubled.

COMMON ERRORS
in detailing pressure vessels

A.

Interferences
Openings, seams, lugs, etc. interfere with each other. This can occur:
1. When the location on the elevation and orientation is not checked. The
practice of not showing openings etc. on the elevation in their true position,
may increase the probability of this mistake.
2. The tail dimensions or the distances between openings on the orientation
do not show interference, but it is disregarded, that the nozzles, lugs etc.,
have certain extension. Thus it can take place that:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.

Skirt access opening does not clear the anchor lugs.


Ladder lug interferes with nozzles.
The reinforcing pads of two nozzles overlap each other.
Reinforcing pad covers seam.
Vessel-davit interferes with nozzles. This can be overlooked especially if
the manufacturer does not furnish the vessel-davit itself, but the lugs only.
f. Lugs, open~lgs, etc. are on the vessel seam.
g. There is no room on perimeter of the skirt for the required number of
anchor lugs.
Particular care should be taken when ladder, platform, vessel-davit etc., are
shown on separate drawings, or more than one orientations are used.

B.

Changes.
Certain changes are necessary on the drawing which are carried out on the elevation, but not shown 011 the orientation or reversed. Making changes, it is
advisable to ask the question: "What does it affect?"
For example:
The change of material affects:

Bill of material
Schedule of openings
General specification
Legend

The change of location affects:

Orientation
Elevation
Location of internals
Location of other components.

C.

Showing O.D. (outside diameter) instead of LD. (inside diameter) or reversed.

D.

Dimensions shown erroneously:


I'-Oinstead of 102!.O'instead of 20etc.

E.

PAINTING
OF STEEL SURF ACES

PURPOSE

The main purpose of painting is the preservation of a steel surface. The paint retards
the corrosion 1., by preventing the contact of corrosive agents from the vessel surface and
2., by rust inhibitive, electro-chemical properties of the paint material.
The paints must be suitable to resist the effects of the environment, heat, impact,
abrasion and action of chemicals.
SURFACE PREPARATION

The primary requisite for a successful paint job is the removal of mill scale, rust, dirt,
grease, oil and foreign matter. Mill scale is the bluish-gray, thick layer of iron oxides
which forms on structural steel subsequent to the hot rolling operation. If the mill
scale is intact and adheres tightly to the metal, it provides protection to the steel, however, due to the rolling and dishing of plates, completely intact mill scale is seldom
encountered in practice.
If mill scale is not badly cracked, a shop primer will give long life in mild environments,
provided that the loose mill scale, rust, oil, grease, etc. are removed.
ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS

The selection of paint and surface preparation beyond the technical aspects is naturally
a problem of economics.
The cost of paint is normally 25-30% or less of the cost of painting a structure, thus the
advantage of using high quality paint is apparent. Sixty percent or more of the total
expense of a paint job lies in the surface preparation and the cost of preparation to
different degrees is varying in a proportion of 1 to 10-12. For example, the cost of
sandblasting is .about 10-12 times higher than that of the hand wire brushing. The cost
of surface preparation should be balanced against the increased life of the vessel.
SELECTION OF PAINT SYSTEMS

The tables on the following pages serve as guides to select the proper painting system
and estimate the required quantity of paint for various service conditions. The data
tabulated there have been taken from the Steel Structures Painting Council's specifications and recommendations.
Considering the several variables of painting problems, it is advisable to request the
assistance of paint manufacturers.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
ABRASION

When the painting must resist abrasion, the good adhesion of the coating is particularly
important. For maximum adhesion, blast cleaning is the best and also pickling is satisfactory. Pretreatments such as hot phosphate or wash primer are excellent for etching
and roughening the surface.
Urethane coatings, epoxies and vinyl paints have very good abrasion resistance. Zincrich coating, and phenolic paints are also good. Oleoresinous paints may develop much
greater resistance by incorporation of sand reinforcement.

248
HIGH TEMPERATURE

Below temperatures of 500-600 0 F to obtain a good surface for coating, hot phosphate
treatment is satisfactory. Above 500-600 0 F a blast cleaned surface is desirable.
Recommended Paints:

Silicone ceramic coatings

CORROSIVE CHEMICALS

See tables I and V for the selection of paint systems.


THE REQUIRED QUANTITY OF PAINT

Theoretically, one gallon of paint covers 1600 square feet surface with 1 mil (0.001 inch)
thick coat when it is wet.
The dry thickness is determined by the solid (non volatile) content of the paint, which
can be found in the specification on the label, or in the supplier's literature.
If the content of solids by volume is, for example, 60%, then the maximum dry coverage
(spreading rate) theoretically will be 1600 x .60 = 960 square feet.

CONSTRUCTION OF A CIRCULAR ARC


The radius is known, but because of its extreme length it is impossible to draw the arc with a compass. Detennine the length ofchord,
C and dimension M. Draw at the center ofthe chord, C a perpendicular line. Measure on this line dimensionM. Connect points AD
and BD. Bisect lines AD and BD and measure MI4 dimension
perpendicular. Repeating this procedure to the requested accuracy,
M will be 4 times less at each bisection 4 times less. The vortices
ofthe trian les are the oints ofthe circular arc.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF ELLIPSE


Describe a circle of which diameter is equal to the
major axis of the ellipse and with the same center
a circle of which diameter is equal to the minor axis.
Draw a number of diameters. From the intersecting
points of the large circle draw perpendicular lines to
the major axis and from the intersections of the
small circle draw lines parallel with the minor axis.
The intersections of these parallel and perpendicular
lines are points of the elliptical curve.

INTERSECTION OF
CYLINDER &
PLANE
When the intersecting plane is not
perpendicular to the axis of the
cylinder, the intersection is an
ellipse.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE INTERSECTING ELLIPSE

Divide the circumference of the


cylinder into equal parts and draw
an element at each division point.
The major axis of the ellipse is the
longest distance between the intersecting points and the minor axis is
the diameter of the cylinder. The
points of the ellipse can be determined by using the chords of the
cylinder spaced by projection as
shown or by calculations as exemplified below. With this method
may be laid out sloping trays, baffles, down-comers etc. The thickness of the plate and the required
clearance shall also be taken into
consideration.
DEVELOPMENT

The length, H is equal to the circumference of the cylinder. Divide


this line into the same number of
equal parts as the circumference of
the cylinder.
Draw an element
through each division perpendicular
to this line. Determine the length
. of each element as shown or by calculation. By connecting the end
points of the elements can be obtained the stretched-out line of the
intersection and may be used for
cutting out pattern for pipe mitering, etc.

DIVISION OF CIRCLES INTO EQUAL PARTS


The best method for division of a circle into equal
parts is to find the length of the chord of a part and
measure this length with the divider on the circumference. The length of the chord, C = diameter of

circle x c, where c is a factor tabulated below.


EXAMPLE:
It is required to divide a 20 inch diameter circle into 8 equal spaces.
c for 8 spaces from the table: 0.38268

NOTE:
The curvature
of an ellipsoidal
head either
inside or outside
is a true
ellipse.
The parallel
curve of the
opposite side
is not ellipse
and the
data of
this table
are not
applicable
to locate
points on
that geometrically undetermined
curve.
( especially
in the case
of heavy
walled heads)

LENGTH OF ARCS
1. These tables are for locating points on pipes and shells by measuring

the length of arcs.


2. The length of arcs are computed for the most commonly used pipe-

sizes and vessel diameters.


3. The length of arcs for any diameters and any degrees, not shown in the
table, can be obtained easily using the values given for diam. 1 or degree 1.
4. All dimensions are in inches.
EXAMPLES

VORTEX BREAKER
The purpose of vortex breakers is to eliminate the undesirable vortexing of
liquids.
Cross and flat-plate baffles are frequently used with a wipth of two times the
nozzle diameter.
For a high degree of effectiveness under severe swirling conditions the width of
the baffle should be four times the nozzle diameter. The height above the outlet
should be about half the nozzle diameter but may be several inches if required
larger clearance for other reasons.

HEADS
For vessels of small and medium diameters ellipsoidal heads are used most
commonly, while large diameter vessels are usually built with hemispherical or
flanged and dished heads.
Heads may be of seamless or welded construction.
STRAIGHT FLANGE
Formed heads butt-welded to the shell need not have straight flange when the
head is not thicker than the shell according to the Code Par. UG-32 & 33, but
in practice heads except hemisphericals are used with straight flanges.
The usual length of straight flanges: 2 inches for ellipsoidal, I 1/2 inches for
flanged and dished and 0 inches for hemispherical heads.
Formed heads thicker than the shell and butt-welded to it shall have straight
flange.

On the following pages the data of the most commonly used heads are listed.
The dimensions offlanged and dished heads meet the requirements of ASME Code.

FLANGES
FLANGE FACING FINISH
In pressure vessel construction only gasket seats of flanges, studded openings, etc.
require special finish beyond that afforded by turning, grinding or milling.
.
The surface finish for flange facing shall have certain roughness regulated by
Standard ANSI B16.5. The roughness is repetitive deviation from the nominal
surface having specified depth and width.
Raised faced flange shall have serrated finish having 24 to 40 grooves per inch. The
cutting tool shall have an approximate 0.06 in. or larger radius resulting 500
microinch approximate roughness IANSI B16.5, 6.3.4.1.1
The side wall surface of gasket groove of ring joint flange shall not exceed 63
microinch roughness. IANSI B16.5-6.3.4.3./
Other finishes may be furnished by agreement between user and manufacturer.
The finish of contact faces shall be judged by visual comparison with Standard ANSI
B46-1.
The center part of blind flanges need not to be finished within a diameter which equals
or less than the bore minus one inch of the joining flange. IANSI B16.5-6.3.31
Surface symbol used to designate roughness r is placed either on the line indicating
the surface or on a leader pointing to the surface as shown below. The numbers: 500
and 63 indicate the height of roughness; letter "c" the direction of surface pattern:
"concentric-serrated" .

WEIGHTS

1.

The tables on the following pages show the weights of


different vessel components made of steel.

2.

All weights are calculated with the theoretical weight of


steel: 1 cubic inch = 0.28333 pounds.

3.

To obtain the actual weight of a vessel, add 6% to the total


weight. This will cover the overweights of material which
comes from the manufacturing tolerances and the weight of
the weldings.

4.

The weights of shells shown in the tables refer to one lineal


foot of shell-length. The weights tabulated in columns
headed by "I.S." and "O.S." are the weights of shell when
the given diameter signifies inside or outside diameter.

5.

The weights of the heads include:


A. For ellipsodial heads: 2 inch straight flange or the wall
thickness, whichever is greater.
B. For ASME flanged and dished heads: lY2 inch straight
flange.
C. For hemispherical heads: 0 inch straight flange.

6.

The weights of pipe fittings made by different manufacturers


show in many cases considerable deviations, which reflect
manufacturing differences. The weights of pipe fittings
shown in these tables refer to the products of Ladish
Company.

7.

All dimensions in inches.


All weights in pounds.

Speci~c gravity of sO.lids and liquids is
the ratIO of theIr denSity to the density of
water at a specified temperature.
Specific gravity of gases is the ratio of
their density to the density of air at standard conditions of pressure and temperature.
To find the weight per cubic foot of a
material, multiply the specific gravity
by 62.36.
EXAMPLE: The weight of a cubic foot
of gasoline 62.36 x 0.7 =43.65Ibs.

PARTIAL VOLUMES IN HORIZONTAL CYLINDERS
l

~J3

Partial volumes of horizontal cylinder


equals total volume x coefficient
(found from table below)

10

EXAMPLE
HORIZONTAL CYLINDER D = 10 ft., 0 in. H = 2.75 ft. L = 60 ft., 0 in.
TOTAL VOLUME: 0.7854 x D2 xL Find the partial volume of
the cylindrical shell
Total volume: 0.7854 x 102 x 60 = 4712.4 cu. ft.

Coefficient from table:


H/D = 2.75/10 =.275
Refer to the first two figures (.27) in the column headed (H/D) in the table
below. Proceed to the right until the coefficient is found under the column
headed (5) which is the third digit. The coefficient of 0.275 is found to be
.223507
Total volume x coefficient = partial volume
4712.4 x .223507 = 1053.25 cu. ft.
cu. ft. multiplied by 7.480519 = U. S. Gallon
cu. ft. multiplied by 28.317016 = Liter

Sphere
Total Volume: 0.5236 D3

Partial volumes of ellipsoidal heads and spheres equals


total volume x coefficient (found from table below)
EXAMPLE:

D = 10ft., 0 in.

H=2.75 ft.

Find the partial volume of(2) 2: 1 ellipsoidal heads ofa


horizontal vessel. The total volume of the two heads:
0.2618 x D3 = 0.2618 x 103 = 261.8 cu. ft.
Coefficient from table:

HID=2.75110 = .275
Referr to the first two figures (.27) in the column headed
(HID) in the table below. Proceed to the right until the
coefficient is found under the column headed (5) which
is the third digit. The coefficient of .275 is found to be
.185281.
Total volume x coefficient = partial volume
261.8 x 185281 = 48.506 cu. ft.
cu. ft. multiplied by 7.480519 = U.S. Gallon
c.u. ft. multiplied by 28.317016 = Liter

METRIC SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT


This system has the advantage that it is a coherent system. Each quantity has only one
unit and all base units are related to each other. The fractions and mUltiples of the units
are made in the decimal system.

CENTER OF GRAVITY
The center of gravity of an area or body is the point through which about any axis the
moment of the area or body is zero. If a body of homogenous material at the center of
gravity were suspended it would be balanced in all directions.
The center of gravity of symmetrical areas as square, rectangle, circle, etc. coincides with
the geometrical center of the area. For areas which are not symmetrical or which are
symmetrical about one axis only, the center of gravity may be determined by calculation.
The center of gravity is located on the centerline of
symmetry. (Axis y - y)
To determine the exact location of it:
1. Divide the area into 3 rectangles and calculate the
area of each. (A, B, C)
2. Determine the center of gravity of the rectangles
and determine the distances a, band c to a
selected axis (x-x) perpendicular to axis y-y.
3. Calculate distance y to locate the center of gravity
by the formula:
y = Aa+Bb+Cc
A+B+C

,r-

Assuming for areas of rectangles: A = 16, B = 14


and C = 12 square inches and for the distances of
center of gravities: a= 1, b=5 and c=9 inches.

EXAMPLE #1

y = 16 xl + 14 x 5 + 12 x 9 = 4.62 in.
16+ 14+ 12
The area is not symmetrical about any axi:s. The
center of gravity may be determined by calculating
the moments wIth reference to two selected axes. To
determine the distances of center of gravity to these
axes:
1. Divide the area into 3 rectangles and calculate the
areas of each. (A, B, C)
2. Determine the center of gravity of the rectangles
and the distances, a, band c to axis x-x and the
distances aJ, bJ, c, to axis y-y.
3. Calculate distances x and y by the formulas:

DESIGN OF WELDED JOINTS


FOR STRUcruRAL MEMBERS
GROOYE-WELD
Groove welds are usually a continuation of the base metal. For groove welds the same
strength is ascribed as for the members that they join.
FlLJ.,ETWELD
Size of weld

I ~h~at

The size of an equal-leg fillet weld is the leg


dimension of the largest 450 right triangle inscribed
in the cross section of the weld.

eg

The size of an unequal-leg fillet weld is the


shortest distance from the root to the face of the
fillet weld.

* Weld size need not to exceed the thickness of the thinner part joined
Economy of fillet welding
1. Use the minimum size of fillet weld required for the desired strength.
Increasing the size of a fillet weld in direct proportion, the volume (and costs) of it
will increase with the square of its size.
2. Locate weld to avoid eccentricity, to be readily accessible, and in down-welding
position.
3. Apply fillet weld transversely to the force to achieve greater strength.

~ PARALLEL

P'

WELD

TRANSVERSE
~
WELD

Allowable Load
The strength of the welds is a function of the welding procedure and the electrode used.
For carbon steel joints commonly used maximum allowable static load 9,600 (9.6 kips) Ibs
per 1 square inch of the fillet weld leg-area, or 600 Ibs on a Y16" leg x 1" long fillet weld.
For example: the allowable load on a Y4" x 1" long fillet weld 4 x 600 = 2,400 lbs.
Combined Loads
Shear stress and bending or torsional stresses due to eccentric loadings may be combined
vectorially. It is based on the elastic theory and provides a simplified and conservative
method.

DEFINITIONS

Abnsion - The removal of surface material


from any solid through the frictional action of
another solid, a liquid, or a gas or combination
thereof.
Absolute Pressure - The pressure above the
absolute zero value of pressure that theoretically obtains in empty space or at the absolute
zero of temperatre, as distinguished from gage
pressure.
Alloy - Any of a large number of substances
having metallic properties and consisting of
two or more elements; with few exceptions, the
components are usually metallic elements.
Angle Joint - A joint between two members
located in intersecting planes between zero (a
butt joint) and 90 deg. (a corner joint). (Code
UA-60)

Angle Valve - A valve, usually of the globe


type, in which the inlet and outlet are at right
angles.
Annealing - Annealing generally refers to the
heating and controlled cooling of solid material
for the purpose of removing stresses, making it
softer, refining its structure or changing its
ductility, toughness or other properties.
Specific heat treatments covered by the term
annealing include black annealing, blue annealing, box annealing, bright annealing, full
annealing, graphitizing, maleabilizing and process annealing.
Arc Welding - A group of welding processes
wherein coalescence is produced by heating
with an electric arc, with or without the
application of pressure and with or without the
use of filler metal.

Automatic Welding - Welding with equipment which performs the entire welding operation without constant observation and adjustment of the controls by an operator. The
equipment mayor may not perform the
loading and unloading of the work.

Ba:king -

Material backing up the joint


during welding to facilitate
obtaining a sound weld at
the root.
Backing Strip is a backing
in a form of a strip.

Brittle Fra:ture - The tensile failure with


negligible plastic deformation of an ordinary
ductile metal.
Brittleness - Materials are said to be brittle
when they show practically no permanent
distortion before failure.
Bushing - A pipe fitting for connecting a pipe
with a female fitting of larger size. It is a
hollow plug with internal and external threads.
Butt Weld -

on

A weld joining two members

lying approximately in the


same plane. Butt welded
joints in pressure vessel
construction shall have
complete penetration and
fusion.
Types of butt welded joints:
Single or Double Beveled
Joint, Square Butt Joint.
Full Penetration, Partial
Penetration Butt Joints.
Butt Joints with or without
backing strips.

484

Centroid of an Area (Center of Gravity of an


Area) - That point in the plane of the area
about any axis through which the moment of
the area is zero; it coincides with the center of
gravity of the area materialized as an infinitely
thin homogeneous and uniform plate.
Chain Intermittent Fillet Welds - Two lines of
intermittent fillet welding in
a tee or lap joint, in which
the increments of welding in
one line are approximately
opposite to those in the
other line.
Check Valve - A valve
designed to allow a fluid to
pass through in one direction only. A common type
has a plate so suspended
that the reverse flow aid~
gravity in forcing the plate
against a seat, shutting off
reverse flow.
Chipping - One method of removing surface
defects such as small fissures or seams from
partially worked metal. If not eliminated, the
defects might carry through to the finished
material. If the defects are removed by means
of a gas torch the term "deseaming" or "scarfing" is used.
Clad Vessel - A vessel made from plate having
a corrosion resistant material integrally bonded
to a base of less resistant material. (Code
UA-60)
Complete Fusion - Fusion which has occurred over the entire base-metal surfaces exposesd for welding.
Complete Penetration - Penetration which extended completely through the joint.
Corner Joint - A welded joint at the junction
of two parts located approximately at right
angles to each other.
Corrosion - Chemical erosion by motionless
or moving agents. Gradual destruction of a
metal or alloy due to chemical processes such
as oxidation or the action of a chemical agent.
Corrosion Fatigue - Damage to or failure of a

metal due to corrosion combined with fluctuating fatigue stresses.


Coupling - A threaded sleeve used to connect
two pipes. They have internal threads at both
ends to fit external threads un pipe.
Creep - Continuous increase in deformation
under constant or decreasing stress. The term is
usually used with reference to the behavior of
metals under tension at elevated temperatures.
The similar yielding of a material under compressive stress is usually called plastic flow or
flow.
Damaging Stress - The least unit stress, of a
given kind and for a given material and condition of service, that will render a member unfit
for service before the end of its normal life. It
may do this by producing excessive set, or by
causing creep to occur at an excessive rate, or
by causing fatigue cracking, excessive strain
hardening, or rupture.
Deformation (Strain) - Change in the form or
in the dimension of a body produced by stress.
Elongation is often used for tensile strain, compression or shortening for compressive strain,
and detrusion for shear strain. Elastic deformation is such deformation as disappears on
removal of stress; permanent deformation is
such deformation as remains on removal of
stress.
Design Pressure - The pressure used in determining the minimum permissible thickness or
physical characteristics of the different parts of
the vessel. (Code UA-60)
Design Temperature - The mean metal
temperature (through the thickness) expected
under operating conditions for the part considered. (Code UG-20)
Discontinuity, Gross Structural - A source of
stress or strain intensification which affects a
relatively large portion of a structure and has a
significant effect on the overall stress or strain
pattern or on the structure as a whole. Examples
of gross structural discontinuities are head-toshell and flange-to-shell junctions, nozzles, and
junctions between shells of different diameters or
thicknesses.

485

Discontinuity, Local Structural - A source of


stress or strain intensification which affects a
relatively small volume of material and does not
have a significant effect on the overall stress or
strain pattern or on the structure as a whole.
Examples are small fillet radii, small
attachments, and partial penetration welds.

welded from both side.
Double-Welded Lap Joint - A lap joint in
which the overlapped edges
of the members to be joined
are welded along the edges
of both members.
Ductility - The ability of a metal to stretch
and become permanently deformed without
breaking or cracking. Ductility is measured by
the percentage reduction in area and percentage elongation of test bar.
Eccentricity - A load or component of a load
normal to a given cross section of a member is
eccentric with respect to that section if it does
not act through the centroid. The perpendicular distance from the line of action of the
load to either principal central axis is the eccentricity with respect to that axis.
Efficiency of a Welded Joint - The efficiency
of a welded joint is expressed as a numerical
quantity and is used in the design of a joint as a
multiplier of the appropriate allowable stress
value. (Code UA-60)
Elastic - Capable of sustaining stress without
permanent deformation; the term is also used
to denote conformity to the law of stress-strain
proportionality. An elastic stress or elastic
strain is a stress or strain within the elastic
limit.
Elastic Limit The least stress that will cause
permanent set.
Electroslag Welding - A welding process in
which consumable electrodes aIt fed into a
joint containing flux; the current melts the
flux, and the flux in turn melts the faces of the
joint and the electrodes, allowing the weld

metal to form a continuously cast ingot between the joint faces. Used in pressure vessel
construction when back of the welding is not
accessible. All butt welds joined by electroslag
welding shall be examined radiographically for
their full length. (Code UW-ll) (a) (6)
Endurance Limit (Fatigue Strength) - By
endurance limit of a material is usually meant
the maximum stress which can be reversed an
indefinitely large number of times without producing fracture.
Erosion-Corrosion - Attack on a metal surface resulting from the combined effects of
erosion and corrosion.
Expansion Joint - A joint whose primary purpose is not to join pipe but to absorb that
longitudinal expansion in the pipe line due to
heat.
Factor of Safety - The ratio of the load that
would cause failure of a member or structure,
to the load that is imposed upon it in service.
Fatigue - Tendency of materials to fracture
under many repetitions of a stress considerably
less than the ultimate static strength.
Fiber Stress - A term used for convenience to
denote the longitudinal tensile or compressive
stress in a beam or other member subject to
bending. It is sometimes used to denote this
stress at the point or points most remote from
the neutral axis, but the term stress in extreme
fiber is preferable for this pupose. Also, for
convenience, the longitudinal elements or
filaments of which a beam may be imagined as
-composed are called fibers.
Fillet Weld -

[:OU

1tks

A weld of approximately triangular cross section joining two surfaces approximately at right angles to
each other.
The effective stress-carrying

The throat dimension of an equal legged fillet
weld is 0.707 times the leg dimension.
Fillet welds may be employed as strength welds
for pressure parts of vessels within the limitations given in Table UW-12 of the Code. The
allowable load on fillet welds shall equal the
product of the weld area (based on minimum
leg dimension), the allowable stress value in
tension of the material being welded, and a
joint efficiency of 55010. (Code UW-18) The
allowable stress values for fillet welds attaching
nozzles and their reinforcements to vessels are
(in shear) 49010 of stress value for the vessel
material. (Code (UW-lS)

Graphitization - Precipitation of carbon in
the form of graphite at grain boundaries, as occurs if carbon steel is in service long enough
above 775F, and C-MQ steel above 875F.

the vessel or 1Y:z times the design pressure by
agreement between the user and the manufacturer. (Code UG-99)
Impact Stress - Force per unit area imposl.;d to
material by a suddenly applied force.

under bending, tensile and torsion loads; the
energy absorbed is measured by breaking the
material by a single blow.
Intermittent Weld - A weld whose continuity
is broken by unwelded spaces.
Isotropic - Having the same properties in all
directions. In discussions pertaining to strength
of materials, isotropic usually means having
the same strength and elastic properties
(modulus of elasticity, modulus of rigidity,
Poisson's ratio) in all directions.
Joint Efficiency - A numerical value expressed as the ratio of the strength of a riveted,
welded, or brazed joim to the strength of the
parent metal.
Joint Penetration - The minimum depth a
groove weld extends from its face into a joint,
exclusive of reinforcement.

Ligament - The section of solid material in a
tube sheet or shell between adjacent holes.
Lined Vessel - A vessel having a corrosion
resistant lining attached intermittently to the

vessel wall. (Code UA-60)


Liquid Penetrant Examination (PT). A method
of nondestructive examination which provides
for the detection of discontinuities open to the
surface in ferrous and nonferrous materials
which are nonporous. Typical discontinuities
detectable by this method are cracks, seams,
laps, cold shuts, and laminations. (Code
UA-60)
Loading - Loadings (loads) are the results of
various forces. The loadings to be considered
in designing a vessel: internal or external

Modulus of Elasticity (Young's Modulus) The rate of change of unit tensile or compressive stress with respect to unit tensile or
compressive strain for the condition of uniaxial
stress within the proportional limit. For most,
but not all materials, the modulus of elasticity
is the same for tension and compression. For
nonisotropic materials such as wood, it is
necessary to distinguish between the moduli of
elasticity in different directions.

distortion. A thermal stress is not classified as a
primary stress. Primary membrane stress is
divided into .. general" and "local" categories. A

the somewhat lower and almost constant stress
under which the metal continues to deform.
Only a few materials exhibit a true yield point;
for some materials the term is sometimes used
as synonymous with yield strength.
