SHELL THICKNESS CALCULATION

Design pressure(P psi) = 426.69

Outside Diameter(D Inch) = 13.54

Efficiency factor (E) = 0.9 Regulation 366

Corrosion allowance (C.A) in inch = 0.12

(mm) = 3
yield point(0.2%proof stress) at the temperature t (Et psi) = 31763 ASME SEC II Part D

Minimum tensile strength at temp t (R psi) = 74985 ASME SEC II Part D

f =Et/1.5 (psi) = 21176 Regulation 271

f =R/2.7 (psi) = 27772 Regulation 271
Plate Tolerance(mm) = 0
Smaller of both f(maximum permissible stress) = 21176 Regulation 271

Maximum working pressure or design pressure(W.P) = 2fE(T-.03) Regulation 366

D + T - .03

So Minimum Required Thickness (T inch) = 0.183

(T mm) = 4.656

HEAD THICKNESS CALCULATION

Design pressure(P psi) = 426.69

Outside Diameter(D Inch) = 13.54

Actual diameter (O.D) of the opening in the head( d inch) = 3.50

Minimum thickness of head (Th min) = 0.39

Thickness of R.F Pad (Tp inch) = 0.47
Effective cross section of reinforcement (A inch ) 2
