AD-310 CYLINDRICAL SHELLS AND
TUBES
The minimum required thickness of a cylindrical
shell or tube under external pressure, either seamless
or with longitudinal butt joints, shall be determined by
the following procedure.
AD-310.1 Cylinders Having D
o
/ t Values 10
Step 1. Assume a value for t and determine the
ratios L/ D
o
and D
o
/t.
Step 2. Enter Fig. G in Subpart 3 of Section II, Part
D at the value of L/D
o
determined in Step 1. For
91
values of L/D
o
greater than 50, enter the chart at a
value of L/D
o
of 50. For values of L/D
o
less than
0.05, enter the chart at a value of L/D
o
p 0.05.
Step 3. Move horizontally to the line for the value
of D
o
/t determined in Step 1. Interpolation may be
made for intermediate values of D
o
/t. From this intersec-
tion move vertically downwards and read the value of
factor A.
Step 4. Using the value of A calculated in Step 3,
enter the applicable material chart in Subpart 3 of
Section II, Part D for the material /temperature under
consideration. Move vertically to an intersection with
the material-temperature line for the design temperature
(see AD-121.2). Interpolation may be made between
lines for intermediate temperatures. In cases where the
value at A falls to the right of the end of the material-
temperature line, assume an intersection with the hori-
zontal projection of the upper end of the material-
temperature line. For values at A falling to the left of
the material line, see Step 7.
Step 5. From the intersection obtained in Step 4,
move horizontally to the right and read the value of
factor B.
Step 6. Using this value of B, calculate the value
of the maximum allowable external working pressure
P
a
using the following formula:
P
a
p
4B
3(D

Step 7. For values of A falling to the left of the
applicable material-temperature line, the value of P
a
can be calculated using the following formula:
P
a
p

3(D
o

Step 8. Compare P
a
with P. If P
a
is smaller than
P, select a larger value for t and repeat the design
procedure until a value for P
a
is obtained that is equal
to or greater than P. An example illustrating the use
of this procedure is given in G-112.
AD-310.2 Cylinders Having D
o
/ t Values < 10
Step 1. Using the same procedure as given in AD-
310.1, obtain the value of B. For values of D
o
/t less
than four, the value of factor A can be calculated using
the following formula:
A p
1.1
(D
o
/ t)
2
For values of A greater than 0.10, use a value of 0.10.

Step 5. Provide adequate reinforcement of the cone-
to-cylinder juncture according to AD-360.3.
AD-360.2 Cone Angle > 60 deg. When of the
cone is greater than 60 deg, the thickness of the cone
shall be the same as the required thickness for a at
head under external pressure, the diameter of which
equals the largest diameter of the cone, or shall be
designed by special analysis in accordance with AD-
360.3(e).
AD-360.3 Rules for Reinforcement of Cone-to-
Cylinder Junction Under External Pressure
(a) The formulas of (b) and (c) below provide for
the design of reinforcement, if needed, at the cone-to-
cylinder junctions for reducer sections and conical heads
where all the elements have a common axis and the
half apex angle 60 deg. Subparagraph (e) below
provides for special analysis in the design of cone-to-
cylinder intersections with or without reinforcing rings,
including those where is > 60 deg.
In the design of reinforcement for a cone-to-cylinder
juncture, the requirements of AD-551 for reinforcement
material strength for nozzles are applicable to reinforce-
ment for a cone-to-cylinder juncture.
(b) Reinforcement shall be provided at the junction
of the cone with the large cylinder for conical heads
and reducers without knuckles when the value of
obtained from Table AD-360.3 using the appropriate
ratio P/S
s
is less than . Interpolation may be made
in the Table.
The cross-sectional area of the reinforcement ring
shall be at least equal to that indicated by the following
formula:

Step 2. Enter the right-hand side of the applicable
material chart in Subpart 3 of Section II, Part D for
the material under consideration at the value of B
determined by Step 1. If different materials are used
for the shell and stiffening ring, use the material chart
resulting in the larger value of A in Step 4 below.
Step 3. Move horizontally to the left to the material-
temperature line for the design metal temperature. For
values of B falling below the left end of the material-
temperature line, see Step 5 below.
Step 4. Move vertically to the bottom of the chart
and read the value of A.
Step 5. For values of B falling below the left end
of the appropriate material-temperature curve, the value
of A can be calculated using the formula A p 2B/E
r
.
For values of B falling above the appropriate material-
temperature line, the design shall be adjusted by either
changing the conguration, or changing the stiffener
ring size or location, such that B is reduced to a value
below or at the appropriate material-temperature curve.
For values of B having multiple values of A, such as
when B falls on a horizontal portion of the curve, the
smallest value of A shall be used.

of inertia from the formula for I

The requirements of AD-332 and AD-333 are to be
met in attaching stiffening rings to the shell.
(c) The stiffening ring shall be provided at the

the material under consideration at the value of B
determined by Step 1. If different materials are used
for the shell and stiffening ring, use the material chart
resulting in the larger value of A in Step 4 below.
Step 3. Move horizontally to the left to the material-
temperature line for the design metal temperature. For
values of B falling below the left end of the material-
temperature line, see Step 5 below.
Step 4. Move vertically to the bottom of the chart
and read the value of A.
Step 5. For values of B falling below the left end
of the appropriate material-temperature curve, the value
of A can be calculated using the formula A p 2B/E
r
.
For values of B falling above the appropriate material-
temperature line, the design shall be adjusted by either
changing the conguration, or changing the stiffener
ring size or location, such that B is reduced to a value
below or at the appropriate material-temperature curve.
For values of B having multiple values of A, such as
98
when B falls on a horizontal portion of the curve, the
smallest value of A shall be used.

a larger moment of inertia must be selected, and the
calculation shall be done again until the equation is met.
The requirements of AD-332 and AD-333 are to be
met in attaching stiffening rings to the shell.
(d) The reinforcement of reducers not described in
AD-210, such as those made up of two or more conical
frustums having different slopes, may be designed in
accordance with (e) below.
(e) For conical sections with the half apex angle
greater than 60 deg, and as an alternative to the rules
provided in (b) and (c) above, the design may be based
on special analysis such as numerical methods or the
beam-on-elastic-foundation analysis of Timoshenko,
Hetenyi, or Watts and Lang. The stresses at the junction
shall meet all of the allowable stress limits of this
Division. The effect of shell and cone buckling on the
required area and moment of inertia at the joint shall
also be considered in the analysis. The theoretical
buckling pressure of the junction shall be at least 3.3
times the allowable external design pressure of the
junction.
AD-360.4 Toriconical Heads and Shell Sections.
The required thickness of a toriconical head having
pressure on the convex side, either seamless or of built-
