Advanced Examples
Example 1
Determine nominal plate thickness of shell with following requirements:
- Material SA 516 Gr.70
- Design internal pressure 1.2 MPa
- Design temperature 150 degC
- Inside diameter 500 mm

Example 2
Determine nominal pipe thickness of shell with following requirements:
- Material SA 106 Gr.B
- Design internal pressure 1.2 MPa
- Design temperature 150 degC
- NPS 20”
Corrosion Allowance, Joint Efficiency, and tolerance have to be considered
Corrosion Allowance
• It depends on material, service, and lifetime
• In general, for carbon steel material uses 3 mm (0.125”) corrosion allowance
• Alloy materials are not required to have corrosion allowance
• Tubes, bolting, non-pressure part are not required to have corrosion
allowance
• Corrosion allowance is commonly determined by regulation, user, or
equipment standard. Ex: API, TEMA, user specification, and others
Joint efficiency
• It depends on three things (UW-12)
• Raw material (seamless or welded)
• Joint (butt, fillet, groove, corner)
• Radiography (full, spot, none)
• In general, E is 1, 0.85, and 0.7 for full, spot, and none, respectively
• Application in part of vessel: shell, head, nozzle, fittings
• Application in joint of vessel: shell-head, head-nozzle, shell-nozzle, nozzle-flange, nozzle-fitting
• Example

Seamless head Seamless head Welded head Welded head

Radiography Seamless shell Welded shell Seamless shell Welded shell
Shell Head Shell Head Shell Head Shell Head
Full 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
Spot 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85
None 0.85 0.85 0.7 0.85 0.85 0.7 0.7 0.7
Tolerance
• It depends on raw material and fabrication process
• Raw material thickness tolerance (ASME Sec.IIA and Sec.VIII Div.1)
• Plates: smaller of 0.3 mm or 6% of nominal thickness
• Pipes: 12.5% of nominal thickness
• Tubes: 12.5% of nominal thickness
• Fabrication process
• Forming: maximum 10% of nominal thickness
• Machining: 0.05 to 1 mm
