o
Design Temperature (T) 200 F

Internal Design pressure at top vessel (Pi) 200 psi
External Pressure (choose Yes for FV) (Pe) NA
Shell Outside Diameter (Do) = Di + (2 x tn) 48 in
Shell Inside Corroded Radius (Ri) = (Di / 2) + CA 24.125 in
Shell Inside Radius (Rn) = Di / 2 24 in
Shell Corroded Thickness (tc) = tn - CA 0.387 in

(a) The minimum required thickness of shells under internal

pressure shall not be less than that computed by the follo-
wing equations.

(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) & (2) below.

(1) Circumferential Stress (Longitudinal Joints)

When the thickness (t) does not exceed one-half of the
inside radius (Ri), or S does not exceed 0.385 SE , equation (Fig. 1)
(1) shall apply:

t < .5Ri
0.5 < 12.063

S = 18300 psi from ASME Section II- Part D- Table IA

(As per UG-24 a casting quality factor of 80% it to be applied to the allowable stress)
S = 18300 x 0.8
= 14640 psi

P < 0.385SE
200 < 5636.4

Since, the thickness (t) does not exceed one-half of the inside radius (Ri), and S does not exceed
0.385 SE. Therefore, Equation 1 is applicable.

treq = {(P x Ri) / (S x E) - (0.6P)} Eq. 1
= 0.332 in

MAWP = [(S x E x t)/(Ri+ 0.6t)]

= 232 psi

(2) Longitudinal Stress (Circumferential Joints)

When the thickness (t) does not exceed one-half of the inside radius (R i ) , or S does not exceed
1.25 SE , formula (2) shall apply:

t < .5Ri
0.5 < 12.063

S = 14640 psi
P < 1.25SE
200 < 18300

Since, the thickness (t) does not exceed one-half of the inside radius (Ri), and S does not exceed
1.25 SE. Therefore, formula 2 is applicable.

Solve for treq

t = {(P x Ri) / (2S x E) + (0.4P)} Eq. 2
= 0.165 in

MAWP = [(2 x S x E x t)/(Ri+ 0.2t)]

= 468 psi

(Fig. 2)
Conclusion:
Since, the minimum required shell thickness of shells computed by formula (1) & (2) is less the
actual thickness. Therefore, the design is satifactory.

(c ) When necessary, vessels shall be provided with stiffeners or other additional means of support
to prevent overstress or large distortions under the external loadings.

Comment: Not Necessary.

(g) Any reduction in thickness within a shell course or spherical shell shall be in accordance with UW-9
to prevent overstress or large distortions under the external loadings.

The minimum thickness of a dished head of semiellipsoidal form, in which half the minor axis
(inside depth of the head minus the skirt) equals one-fourth of the inside diameter of the head
skirt, shall be determined by:

t = {(P x Di) / (2SE) - (0.2P)} Eq. 3

= 0.241 in

MAWP = [(2 x S x E x t)/(Di+ 0.2t)]

loading plus corrosion allowance.

this thickness is compared with the minimum thickness provided which for pipe material would include

ness required by UG-16(b).

c = 0.3 d = G C = flange O.D.

= 25.00 in
hg = 0.5 (C-G)
= 1.85 in

(f) For gasket seating only, P=0 and W=W a therefore.

3
t = d√( (1.9Whg/SEd )
t = 1.6703 in

(g) For operating conditions.

3
t = d√(cP/SE) + (1.9Whg/SEd )
= 1.8905 in

treq = t + CA
= 2.0155 in

Therefore, the gasket seating condition controls and the minimum required thickness, including corrosion
allowance is 2.0155 inches.
