ASME VIII Calculation

Introduction
This spreadsheet is designed as an aid in performing pressure vessel calculations in accordance with the
ASME Section VIII, Division 1 Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The calculations contained in this program
are useful for rerating vessels, performing alterations, or for general design studies. The work sheets in the
program deal only with the most commonly used portions of the code. The program is not intended to include
all aspects of the code. Refer to the applicable sections of the code for restrictions. The calculations take into
consideration only stresses imposed as a result of pressure. Other superimposed loads such as piping or
equipment reactions, wind loading, fluid shock, etc. must be considered seperately. Including the introduction,
there are eleven work sheets in the program.

Shell thickness
Minumum shell thickness for vessel under internal pressure:

Calculation based on ASME Section VIII, Division 1 paragraph UG-27.
Where:
t = minimum required thickness of shell, inches

P = internal pressure, psi
R = inside radius of shell course under consideration, inches
S = maximum allowable stress value, psi. at design temperature.
E = joint efficiency. See UW-12 for welded shells. See UG-53 for ligaments between openings.
The minumum thickness will be the greater thickness of t = (PR)/(SE - 0.6P) for circumferential stress or
t = (PR)/(2SE + 0.4P) for longitudinal stress.

t for Ellipsoidal Head
Formed vessel heads generally fall into one of three categories: ellipsoidal, torispherical, or hemispherical.
Ellipsoidal: Inside depth of the head minus the skirt is equal to one fourth of the inside diameter of the skirt.
These are also commonly refered to as 2:1 elliptical heads.
Torispherical: Inside crown radius is equal to the outside diameter of the skirt and the knuckle radius is 0.06 times
the inside crown radius.
It will not be readily apparent in the field whether a head is ellipsoidal or torispherical so it's best to consult vendor
drawings and data.
The calculations below are for pressure on the concave side.

3. Gasket Factor, m, and Seating Stress, y, for a given gasket material are
obtained from table 2-5.1 in Appendix 2 of the ASME Code or table UA49.1 in the Lamons Gasket Handbook.
4. The basic gasket seating width, bO, in cell C24 must be selected from
table 2-5.2 in Appendix 2 of the ASME Code or table UA-49.2 in the
Lamons Gasket Handbook and manually entered at the cell location.
5. All formulas and tables in the Lamons Handbook are taken from

Thickness of cylindrical shells under external pressure. ASME Sect. VIII, paragraph UG-28.
This work sheet calculates the allowable external pressure for a cylindrical vessel having a known outside
diameter, wall thickness, and length between lines of support. It is assumed that external stiffeners are
adequately designed.
Gather the following information and reference materials prior to using the worksheet.

Step 3. Determine factor A

a. Go to ASME Section II, Part D, Subpart 3, Figure G (page 622 & 623).
b. Enter Figure G at the value of L / Do in Step 2 above. If L / Do is greater than 50, enter the chart
at L / Do = 50. If L / Do is less than 0.05, enter the chart at L / Do = 0.05.
c. Move horizontally to the line for the value of Do / t calculated above. From this point of intersection,
move vertically downward to determine the value of factor A.
d. Enter the value for factor A at cell B29 below. (scroll down)
Value of factor A =

Step 4. Determine factor B

a. Using the value of A from step 3, enter the applicable material chart in Section II, Part D, Subpart 3
for the material being considered. The material charts start on page 624.
b. Move vertically upward to an intersection with the material/temperature line for the design
temperature. If A falls to left of the material/temperature line, skip this step and scroll down to step 6.
If A falls past the right end of a material/temperature line, use the horizontal projection of the end of
the line as the point of intersection.
c. From the point of intersection in step b, move horizontally to the right and read the value for B.
Enter this value in cell B41 below. (scroll down)
Value of factor B =
2000
Step 5. Maximum allowable external pressure using factor B.

Pa = (4B) / 3(Do/t) =
29.63 psi
Step 6. Select modulus of elasticity, E. No factor B.

If factor A falls to the left of the material/temperature line, P a is calculated using the modulus of elasticity, E, at
the design temperature. Select the modulus of elasticity and enter its value in cell B52 below.
E=
2.90E+07
Step 7. Maximum allowable external pressure using modulus of elasticity.

Pa = (2AE) / 3(Do / t) =
32.22 psi

Stiffening Ring
This worksheet calculates the required moment of inertia for a stiffening ring attached to a cylindrical
shell under external pressure. The calculated moment of inertia can be compared to the moment of
inertia of a corroded or damaged stiffening ring.The calculation is performed in accordance to ASME
Sect. VIII, paragraph UG-29.
Information and reference material needed to perform this calculation include:
* ASME Section II, Part D, Subpart 3
* modulus of elasticity, E, for stiffening ring material at design temperature
* outside diameter of shell
* shell thickness
* distance between lines of support (see ASME Sect. VIII, paragraph UG-28(b))
* cross sectional area of existing stiffening ring
Step 1. Enter known values.

half the distance from the stiffener center line to the next
line of support below. (ASME VIII, UG-29)
Step 2. Factor B calculated

B=
5107
Step 3. Determine factor A

a. Open ASME Section II, Part D, Subpart 3 to the applicable chart for the stiffener material under
consideration. The charts begin on page 624.
b. Enter the right hand side of the applicable chart at the value of B determined in step 2 above.
c. Move left horizontally to the material/temperature line for the design metal temperature. For values
of B falling below the left end of the chart, go to step 5.
d. At the point of intersection, move down vertically for the value of A. Enter that value in cell B38
below.
Factor A =
0.0004
Step 4. Determine the required moment of inertia.

Is=
12.15 in4
Step 5. Calculated value of factor A for factor B below chart.

A=
0.00042
Step 6. Required moment of inertia using A from step 5.
