APPENDIX 9 JACKETED VESSELS

9-1 SCOPE on any one vessel provided the individual requirements for each are met. Nozzles or other openings in Type 1, 2, 4, or 5 jackets that also penetrate the vessel shell or head shall be designed in accordance with UG37(d)(2). Dimpled jackets are not covered in this Appendix (see UW-19).

(a) The rules in Appendix 9 cover minimum requirements for the design, fabrication, and inspection of the jacketed portion of a pressure vessel. The jacketed portion of the vessel is dened as the inner and outer walls, the closure devices, and all other penetrations or parts within the jacket which are subjected to pressure stresses. Parts such as nozzle closure members and stiffening or stay rings are included. (b) All other Parts of this Division shall apply unless otherwise stated in this Appendix. (c) Where the internal pressure is 15 psi (103 kPa) or less, any combination of pressures and vacuum in the vessel and jacket which will produce a total external pressure greater than 15 psi (103 kPa) on the inner vessel wall, the entire jacket shall be interpreted as within the scope of this part. (d) For the purpose of this Appendix, jackets are assumed to be integral pressure chambers, attached to a vessel for one or more purposes such as: (1) to heat the vessel and its contents; (2) to cool the vessel and its contents; (3) to provide a sealed insulation chamber for the vessel. (e) As stated in U-2(g), this Division does not contain rules to cover all details of design and construction. These rules are therefore established to cover most common jacket types, but are not intended to limit congurations to those illustrated or otherwise described herein.

TYPES OF JACKETED VESSELS

This Appendix shall apply to jacketed vessels having jackets which cover the shell or heads as illustrated in Fig. 9-2 and partial jackets as illustrated in Fig. 97. Jackets, as shown in Fig. 9-2, shall be continuous circumferentially for Types 1, 2, 4, or 5 shown and shall be circular in cross section for Type 3. The use of any combination of the types shown is permitted

Design shall comply with the applicable requirements of Subsection A except where otherwise provided for in this Appendix. (a) Shell and head thickness shall be determined by the appropriate formula given in Subsection A. In consideration of the loadings given in UG-22, particular attention to the effects of local internal and external loads and expansion differentials at design temperatures shall be given. Where vessel supports are attached to the jacket, consideration shall be given to the transfer of the supported load of the inner vessel and contents. (b) The requirements for inspection openings as prescribed in UG-46 shall apply to jackets except that the maximum size of opening need not exceed 2 in. pipe size (DN 50) for all diameter vessels. (c) The use of impingement plates or bafes at the jacket inlet connection to reduce erosion of the inner wall shall be considered for media where vapors are condensed, i.e., steam. (d) Jacketed vessels may be designed utilizing braced and stayed surfaces as given in UG-47 provided the jacket wall in addition to meeting the requirements of UG-47(a) also meets the applicable requirements of UG-27(c) and (d) and UG-32. This paragraph is not intended to apply to dimpled jackets. (See UW-19.)

For the design of a closure member or stiffening ring, the greater adjacent L shall be used. (c) Jacket closures shown in Fig. 9-5 shall conform to the following requirements.

(6) Jacket to closure bar attachment welds shown in Fig. 9-5 sketches (g-1), (g-2), and (g-3) may be used on any of the types of jacketed vessels shown in Fig. 9-2. Attachment welds shown in Fig. 9-5 sketches (g-4), (g-5), and (g-6), may be used on any of the types of jacketed vessels shown in Fig. 9-2 where trj does not exceed 58 in. (16 mm). (7) Closures shown in Fig. 9-5 sketch (h) used on Type 3 jacketed vessels shown in Fig. 9-2 shall have attachment welds in accordance with Fig. 9-5 sketch (i-1) or (i-2). This construction is limited to jackets where trj does not exceed 58 in. (16 mm). (8) Closures for conical or toriconical jackets shown in Fig. 9-5 sketches (k) and (l) shall comply with the requirements for Type 2 jacketed vessels shown in Fig. 9-2. (d) Any radial welds in closure members shall be butt welded joints penetrating through the full thickness of the member and shall be ground ush where attachment welds are to be made. (e) Where the inner vessel must meet the requirements of UW-2, the attachment welds of the jacket to the inner vessel need not be welded for their full thickness nor radiographed. These attachment welds shall be postweld heat treated where required by UW2 except as may be exempted by the notes to Table UCS-56. The remainder of the jacket need not comply with UW-2 when the inner vessel alone is subjected to the service restrictions. The diameter limitations of UW-12 and UW-13 do not apply to the jacket attachment welds. (f) Closures for any type of staybolted jacket may be designed in accordance with the requirements of Type 1 jackets shown in Fig. 9-2 provided the entire jacket is staybolted to compensate for pressure end forces.

(d) Jacket penetration closure member designs shown in Fig. 9-6 shall conform to the following requirements. (1) The nozzle wall may be used as the closure member as shown in Fig. 9-6 sketch (a), where jacket is welded to nozzle wall. (2) The minimum required thickness trc for designs Fig. 9-6, sketches (b) and (d) shall be calculated as a shell under external pressure per UG-28. (3) The minimum required thickness trc for design Fig. 9-6 sketch (c) shall be equal to trj. (4) For designs Fig. 9-6 sketches (e-1) and (e-2), the thickness required of the closure member attached to the inner vessel trc1 shall be calculated as a shell under external pressure per UG-28. The required thickness of the exible member trc2 shall be determined from one of the following expressions:

PRp SE 0.6 P

(6) Designs (b), (c), (d), and (e) of Fig. 9-6 provide for some exibility and are designed on a similar basis to that of expansion joints under the conditions of U2(g) in combination with UG-22 and UG-23. Only pressure membrane loading is considered in establishing the minimum thickness of the penetration closure member, and it is not the intent that the combination of direct localized and secondary bending stress need be held to the Code-tabulated allowable stress values. It is recognized by UG-23(c) that high localized and secondary bending stresses may exist in Code vessels. (e) All radial welds in opening sealer membranes shall be butt welded joints penetrating through the full thickness of the member. (f) Closure member welds shall be circular, elliptical, or obround in shape where possible. Rectangular mem377

DESIGN OF PENETRATIONS THROUGH JACKETS

(a) The design of openings through the jacket space shall be in accordance with the rules given in UG-36 through UG-45. (b) Reinforcements of the opening in the jacket shall not be required for penetrations shown in Fig. 9-6 since the opening is stayed by virtue of the nozzle or neck of the closure member. (c) The jacket penetration closure member minimum thickness considers only pressure membrane loading. Axial pressure loadings and secondary loadings given in UG-22 shall be considered in the design [see 96(d)(6)].

DESIGN OF PARTIAL JACKETS

(a) Partial jackets are jackets which encompass less than the full circumference of the vessel. Some variations are shown in Fig. 9-7. (b) The rules for construction of jacketed vessels given in preceding paragraphs shall apply to partial jackets with following exceptions. (1) Stayed partial jackets shall be designed and constructed in accordance with UG-47. Closure members shall conform to 9-5. (2) Partial jackets which by virtue of their service or conguration do not lend themselves to staybolt construction may be fabricated by other means providing they are designed using appropriate stress values and are proof tested in accordance with UG-101(p).

FABRICATION

(a) Fabrication of vessels shall be in accordance with applicable Parts of Subsection A and Subsection B, Part UW. The requirements of UW-13(e) do not apply to closure rings. (b) This Appendix covers fabrication of jacketed vessels by welding. Other methods of fabrication are

permitted provided the requirements of applicable parts of this Division are met. (c) Where only the inner vessel is subjected to lethal service, the requirements of UW-2 shall apply only to welds in the inner vessel and those welds attaching the jacket to the inner vessel. Welds attaching the jacket to the inner vessel need not be radiographed and may be llet welded. Postweld heat treatment shall be as required by Table UCS-56.
