SHELL :
WP =
D = Inner Dia of shell ( 3100 / 25.4 )
2 f E ( T - 0.03 )
D + ( T - 0.03 )
WORKING PRESSURE OF SHELL ( AS PER IBR 270 & 271 NEW AMENDMENT ) :
122.05 + ( 0.71 - 0.03 )
=
(As per ASME Section-II Part D)
WP = Working pressure in PSIG
2 x 20000 x 1 x ( 0.709 - 0.03 )
f = Allowable stress (matl.SA 515 GR 70 / 516 GR 70) =
=
E = Ligament Efficiency
T = Shell Thickness ( 18 / 25.4 )
= 221.3 PSIG
T =
=
= 0.64 inch
= 16.26 mm
Result:
1.0 As per calculation required shell thickness 16.26 mm
Provided shell thickness = 18.00 mm
2.0 The calculated working pressure is greater than Design working pressure.
i.e Wp = 221.3 PSIG > 199 PSIG
[ ( D x WP ) / ( 2 f E - WP ) ]+ 0.03
[ ( 122.05 x 199 ) / ( 2 x 20000 x 1 - 199 ) ] + 0.03
HENCE DESIGN IS SAFE
Wp = 221.3 PSIG > 199 PSIG
