Shell Thickness Calculation

According to ASME VIII Div. 1 Latest Edition a. Input Data 12.000 Di [in] - inside diameter 6.000 R [in] - inside radius 875.000 P [psi] - interior pressure 236.220 L [in] -length (seam to seam) 0.125 Corr [in] - corrosion allowance

b. Material and Conditions: SA-516 Gr. 70 Material 20,000 S [psi] - allowable stress 1.00 El - long seam efficiency (circ stress) 1.00 Ec - circ seam efficiency (long stress) 12.5% UTP [%] - undertolerance allowance

c. Required Thickness: UG-27(c)(1,2) ta [in] = P*R/(S*El-0.6*P) ~~ longitudinal joints tb [in] = P*R/(2*S*Ec+0.4*P) ~~ circumferential joints t req [in] = MAX(ta,tb) ~~ required minimum thickness t nom [in] = 0.375 Check t req = t req <= t nominal 0.27 <= 0.375 = Acceptable 875*6/(20000*1-0.6*875) = 0.270 875*6/(2*20000*1+0.4*875) = 0.130 MAX(0.27,0.13) = 0.270

d. Maximum Pressure: UG-27(c)(1,2) Pint1 [psi] = (S*El*t nom)/(R+0.6*t nom) Pint2 [psi] = (2*S*Ec*t nom)/(R-0.4*t nom) PMax [psi] = Min(Pint1,Pint2) ~~ maximum allowed design pressure CheckP = PMax >= P (20000*1*0.375)/(6+0.6*0.375) = 1204.82 (2*20000*1*0.375)/(6-0.4*0.375) = 2564.10 MIN(1205,2564) = 1204.8 1204.8 >= 875 = Acceptable

e. Variables: UT [in] = t nom*UTP nt [in] = t nom-Corr-UT Do [in] = Di + (2*t nom) 0.375*0.1 = 0.047 0.375-0.125-0.047 = 0.203 12.750

f. Calculated Properties: Volume [cuft] = Weight [lb] = ((Do/2-t nom)^2)*pi()*L/1728 (Do-t nom)*pi()*L*t nom*40.84/144 ((12/2-875)^2)*PI()*236.22/1728 = 15.46 (12-875)*PI()*236.22*875*40.84/144 = 33,208.19 14,943.68 kg

g. Stress Classification: NOTE: Both validity checks need to be "Acceptable" in order to use this sheet If not, refer to sheet "Thick Cylindrical Shell" ckValidity1 = ckValidity2 = Treq < 0.5*(Do/2) P< 0.385*S*El 0.27 < 0.5*(12.75/2) = Acceptable 875< 0.385*20000*1 = Acceptable

Treq provides a worst case required thickness for nozzle analysis for a nozzle located on the long seam or circ seam This sheet will not calculate thick walled vessels Check Not a thick walled vessel, calculations are valid

The UG-16(b) minimum thickness requirement has not been taken into consideration here. This sheet cannot be used to check for allowable exterior pressure loads. Use the Weld Efficiency program to calculate El and Ec
