Vessel design features

Page 10: ASME VIII UG-ppt

ASME VIII Div.1- Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang/ He Jungang / Li Xueliang

The main ASME VIII design topics required included in the API 510 syllabus are:

Internal pressure in shells and heads (clauses UG-27 and UG-32) External pressure on shells (clause UG-28) Nozzle compensation (mainly figure UG-37.1) Nozzle weld sizing (mainly figure UW-16)

About rounding answers. In the ASME Code and for the exam you must round DOWN for pressure allowed. Even if our solution had been 1079.999 we cannot round to 1080, we still round down to 1079 psi. This is the conservative approach taken by the Codes in general and of course is different for the normal rules of rounding.

When rounding thickness required we must round UP. The most conservative thing to do. So our example below would round to .230”. Even it had been .2291 we would still round up to .230”.

c) Cylindrical Shells. The minimum thickness or maximum allowable working pressure of cylindrical shells shall be the greater thickness or lesser pressure as given by (1) or (2) below.

(1) Circumferential Stress (Longitudinal Joints).When the thickness does not exceed one-half of the inside radius, or P does not exceed 0.385SE, the following formulas shall apply:

(2) Longitudinal Stress (Circumferential Joints). When the thickness does not exceed one-half of the inside radius, or P does not exceed 1.25SE, the following formulas shall apply:

Shell calculations: internal pressure Shell calculations are fairly straightforward and are set out in UG-27. Figure below shows the two main stresses existing in a thin-walled vessel shell.

Hoop (circumferential) stressThis is the stress trying to split the vessel open along its length. Confusingly, this acts on the longitudinal weld seam (if there is one). For the purpose of the API 510 exam this isthe governing stress in a shell cylinder.

UG-27

Page 19: ASME VIII UG-ppt

ASME VIII Div.1- Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang/ He Jungang / Li Xueliang

The relevant UG-27 equations are:

(used when you want to find t) or, rearranging the equation to find P when t is already known:

Where:• P = maximum design pressure (or MAWP).• t = minimum required thickness to resist the stress.• S = allowable stress of the material. • E = joint efficiency. • Ri = the internal radius of the vessel.

UG-27

Page 20: ASME VIII UG-ppt

ASME VIII Div.1- Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang/ He Jungang / Li Xueliang

• Remarks:

• S = allowable stress of the material. This is read from ASME II part D tables or, more commonly, given in the exam question (it has to be as ASME II part D is not in the syllabus).

• E = joint efficiency. This is a factor (between 0.65 and 1) used to allow for the fact that a welded joint may be weaker than the parent material. It is either read off tables (see UW-11 and UW-12 later) or given in the exam question. You can think of E as a safety factor if you wish.

• Ri = the internal radius of the vessel. Unlike some other design codes ASME VIII Div.I prefers to use the internal radius as its reference dimension, perhaps because it is easier to measure.

ASME VIII Div.1- Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang/ He Jungang / Li Xueliang

A key feature of Ri is that it is the radius in the corroded conditions (i.e. that anticipated at the next scheduled inspection). Don’t get confused by this – it is just worked out in this way. If a vessel has a current Ri of 10 in and has a corrosion rate (internal) of 0.1 in./years, with the next scheduled inspection in five years, then:

Current Ri = 10 in.Ri in 5 years = 10 in. + (5 x 0.1 in) = 10.5 in corroded condition.Hence 10.5 in. is the Ri dimension to use in the UG-27 equation.

The thickness must not exceed one-half of the inside radius, i.e. it is not a thick cylinder.

The pressure must not exceed 0.385SE, i.e. not be high pressure. In practice this is more than about 4000 psi for most carbon steel vessels.

UG-27

The pressure must not exceed 0.385SE, i.e. not be high pressure. In practice this is more than about 4000 psi for most carbon steel vessels.

Example: for SA-515/Gr. 60 at 700°F where S = 14,400 psi. P must not exceed 5544 psi.

What minimum shell thickness is necessary to resist the internal MAWP?

Using thickness (t) = PR/(SE–0.6P) from UG-27Thickness = 250x30 / [15800x0.85 – (0.6x250)]t = 0.565 in ANSWER

You need to consider the hemispherical head joint to shell as category A, but ellipsoidal and torispherical head joint to shell as category B;

Do you know why? Why ASME considered the stringent rule for pressure vessel RT test in hemispherical head joint?

It is because this joint is more critical, because the thickness obtained from the formula for hemispherical head approximately would be half of the shell thickness;

It means if the shell thickness is 1 inch, the hemispherical head thickness would be 0.5 inch.

Overview.The critical pressure that causes buckling is not a simple function of the stress that is produced in the shell, as is true with tensile loads. An allowable stress is not used to design pressure vessels that are subject to elastic instability. Instead, the design is based on the prevention of elastic collapse under the applied external pressure. This applied external pressure is normally 15 psig for full vacuum conditions.

The maximum allowable external pressure can be increased by welding circumferential stiffening rings (i.e., stiffeners) around the vessel shell. The addition of stiffening reduces the effective buckling length of the shell, and this length reduction increases the allowable buckling pressure. These stiffener rings may be welded on either the inside or the outside of the shell.

UG-28, C(1)- Cylinders having Do /t values ≥ 10:Example #1The easiest way to understand the UG-28 calculations themselves is to look at this worked example. Figure 9.14 shows the parameters for a vessel under external pressure

operating at 300oF:

. t = thickness of the shell = 0.25 in.

. L = distance between stiffeners = 90 in.

. Do = shell outside diameter = 180 in.

The first step is to calculate the values of the dimensional ratios (L/Do) and (Do/t):

L/Do = 90/180 = ½Do/t = 180 / 0.25 = 720

UG-28

Page 58: ASME VIII UG-ppt

ASME VIII Div.1- Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang/ He Jungang / Li Xueliang

In a real design situation, these ratios would then be plotted on charts to give values of A and B. In this example, the charts would give values of A = 0.000 15 and B = 2250(remember that you will generally be given these in an exam question).

Pa = 4B/[3 (Do/t)] = 4x 2250/(3x 720) = 4.2 psiConclusion – the vessel is not suitable for full vacuum duty (-14.5 psi ).

Conclusion – the vessel is not suitable for full vacuum duty (-14.5 psi ).Pa should be ≥14.5psi

UG-28, C(1)- Cylinders having Do /t values ≥ 10:Example #2

Step 1 Assume a value for t and determine the ratios L/Do and Do /t.

Example: The cylinder has corroded to a wall thickness of 0.530”, its length is 120” and the outside diameter is 10”. It operates at 500oF

So then; Temp = 500oF t = 0.530”L = 120”Do = 10”

Calculate; Do/t = 10/.530 = 18.8 call it 19# (no need to be exact) L/Do = 120/10 = 12#

Ellipsoidal Heads.For pressures over 10 bar, ellipsoidal heads are often used. In cross-section, the head resembles an ellipse, its radius varying continuously. This results in a smooth transition between the dome and the cylindrical part of the vessel. Ellipsoidal heads are deeper than comparable torispherical heads.

The shape of the ellipsoidal head is defined by the ratio of the major and minor axis. A standard arrangement on vessels is the 2:1 elliptical head (see Figure 2). This will have a depth of head which is a quarter of the vessel’s internal diameter, D. The thickness of this type of head is normally equal to the thickness of the cylinder to which it is attached.

2:1 Ellipsoidal headThis is also called a 2:1 elliptical head. The shape of this head is more economical, because the height of the head is just a quarter of the diameter. Its radius varies between the major and minor axis.

Hemispherical Heads - The required thickness of a hemispherical head is normally one-half the thickness of an elliptical or torispherical head for the same design conditions, material, and diameter. Hemispherical heads are normally fabricated from segmented sections that are welded together, spun, or pressed. Hemispherical heads are an economical option to consider when expensive alloy material is used. In carbon steel construction, hemispherical heads are generally not as economical as elliptical or torispherical heads because of higher fabrication cost. Carbon steel hemispherical heads may be economical for thin, very large diameter vessels, or in thick, small-diameter vessels.

The thickness transition zone between the hemispherical head andshell must be contoured to minimize the effect of local stress. Figure 4.8 shows the thickness transition requirements that are contained in the ASME Code.

UG-37 REINFORCEMENT REQUIRED FOROPENINGS IN SHELLS ANDFORMED HEADS.

UG-37

Page 124: ASME VIII UG-ppt

ASME VIII Div.1- Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang/ He Jungang / Li Xueliang

The ASME Code uses simplified rules to ensure that the membrane stresses are kept within acceptable limits when an opening is made in a vessel shell or head When the opening is made, a volume of material is removed from the pressure vessel. This metal is no longer available to absorb the applied loads. The ASME Code simplifies the design calculations by viewing the nozzle-to-vessel junction area in cross section. This simplification permits the nozzle reinforcement calculations to be made in terms of metal cross-sectional area rather than metal volume. The ASME Code requires that the metal area that is removed for the opening must be replaced by an equivalent metal area in order for the opening to be adequately reinforced. The replacement metal must be located adjacent to the opening within defined geometric limits. The replacement metal area may come from two sources:

Excess metal that is available in the shell or nozzle neck that is not required for pressure or to absorb other loads.

Reinforcement that is added to the shell or nozzle neck.

UG-37

Page 125: ASME VIII UG-ppt

ASME VIII Div.1- Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang/ He Jungang / Li Xueliang

If a reinforcement pad is used, its material should have an allowable stress that is at least equal to that of the pressure vessel shell or head material to which it is attached. No credit can be taken for the additional strength of any reinforcement that has a higher allowable stress. If reinforcement material with a lower allowable stress is used, the reinforcement area must be increased to compensate for this.

To ensure accuracy, gauges should be calibrated frequently on a regularly calibrated dead weight tester. The pressure range of the gauge should be chosen so that the required set pressure of the pressure-relief valve falls within the middle third of the gauge pressure range. Snubbers on pressure gauges are not generally recommended since they tend to clog and produce pressure lag.

When and where is there a code requirement for full radiography?

Item 1: All butt welds in vessels used to contain a lethal substance (UW-11(a)). Lethal substances have specific definitions in ASME Code in UW-2 and it is the responsibility of the end user to determine if they ordered a vessel that contains lethal substances.

Item 2: All butt welds in vessels in which the nominal thickness exceeds specified values (UW-11(a)). You can find these values in subsection C, in UCS-57, UNF-57, etc. For example, this value for P-No.1 in UCS-57 is 1 ¼ inch.

Item 3: All butt welds in an unfired steam boiler with design pressure > 50 psi (UW-11(a)).

Item 4: All category “A” and “D” butt welds in vessel when “Full Radiography”optionally selected from table UW-12(column (a) in this table is selected); and categories B and C which intersect Category “A” shall meet the spot radiography requirement (UW-11(a) (5) (b)).

Page 196: ASME VIII UG-ppt

ASME VIII Div.1- Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang/ He Jungang / Li Xueliang UW-116

Item 4: All category “A” and “D” butt welds in vessel when “Full Radiography”optionally selected from table UW-12(column (a) in this table is selected); and categories “B” and “C” which intersect Category A shall meet the spot radiography requirement (UW-11(a) (5) (b)).

Page 197: ASME VIII UG-ppt

ASME VIII Div.1- Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang/ He Jungang / Li Xueliang UW-116

The point is this: items 1, 2 and 3 are similar, but item 4 is completely different.

In items 1, 2 and 3 it is mandated by code; to do full radiography in all butt welds in vessel so it means it is mandatory for designer to select column (a) in UW-12 table. But in item 4, there is no mandating rule. A manufacturer with its own decision has chosen to use column (a) in table UW-12 for full radiography. So here there is a concession or bonus to manufacturers for joint categories B and C.

What is concept behind this concession or bonus in pressure vessel RT test?

If you review item 1, 2 and 3 one more time, you will see that the pressure vessel RT tests are related to the type of welds and services. You can see the pressure vessels in these items are critical from a safety point of view, one contains a lethal substance, the other one has a high thickness, which implicates high pressure, and the last one is an unfired steam boiler. But item 4 has no criticality like the other items have. But you should note all 4 items have been categorized in full radiography clause( U-11(a)), so to differentiate item 1, 2 and 3 from item 4, the RT symbols (RT1 / RT2) are used in Code (UG-116).

Q. What is the difference between an RT-1 and an RT-2 vessel?

A. The definitions for the RT-1 and RT-2 are provided in paragraph UG-116(e) and, by reference, UW-11(a). Paragraph UW-11(a) defines both plans as full radiography. The RT-1 plan requires all butt-welded joints be fully radiographed over their entire length using the criteria in paragraph UW-51. The RT-2 plan requires all category A and D butt-welded joints be radiographed over their entire length using the criteria in paragraph UW-51. All category B and C butt-welded joints must be spot radiographed per UW-11(a)(5)(b) using the criteria in paragraph UW-52. Depending on the welded joint type employed for welded components, the efficiency will normally be established by a category A or D butt-welded joint (UG-27 footnote 15). A vessel complying with either plan will be 100 percent efficient for both components having type 1 welded joints (Table UW-12 column [a]) and seamless head or shell sections (UW-12[d]).

UG-119 Nameplates.

In this paragraph are the details of nameplates, including such things as the size and methods of markings allowed. The nameplate must be located within 30 in. of the vessel and must be thick enough to resist distortion when stamping is applied. The types of acceptable attachment types include welding, brazing, and tamper resistant mechanical fasteners of metal construction. Adhesive attachments may be used if the provisions of Appendix 18 are met. An additional nameplate may be used if it is marked with the words "DUPLICATE". On previous tests some questions have come from this paragraph.
