Exercise: Review the Calculation Report and Modify the Cone Geometry
1 Continue with the model from the previous exercise.
Note: In the AutoPIPE Vessel ‐ Error(s) dialog, we received two errors stating
that the shells (cones 31.06 and 31.08) are under internal pressure and
Class Date: 18-Nov-2014
we were directed to see the detail in the calculation sheet. We will now
review the calculation sheet and resolve these two errors.
2 In the Analysis Results Window, click on the Geometry item. Then, click on
the Show Selected Report Calculation Detail button.
3 In the Calculation Report, review the following warnings/errors (indicated
in red text) that were produced for each conical shell:
Company: PT FKA Global
• ASME VIII DIV. 1 2010 ‐ 2011a: half‐apex angle > 30°
• Appendix 1‐5 (d): an additional area of reinforcement is required
• Appendix 1‐5 (e): an additional area of reinforcement is required
Note: To avoid these errors, we could modify the geometry in several ways.
For this example, we will apply a base knuckle radius to each end of the

Body and Flange Covers
Typically, a shell and tube heat exchanger will require a body flange and cover
that is specifically designed to that system, instead of utilizing a standard flange.
The figure below illustrates several standard flanges that may be available:
Class Date: 18-Nov-2014
Company: PT FKA Global
Student: Fitra Perdana
DO NOT DISTRIBUTE - Printing for Student Use is Permitted
Flanges and Gaskets
Several typical types of flanges and gaskets may be available for incorporation into
the design of the heat exchanger. The following sections describe each gasket
type.
Class Date: 18-Nov-2014
Flat Face Unconfined Gasket
• Mating faces of both flanges are flat.
• Gasket may be ring type, or full face, which covers the entire face both inside
and outside the bolts.
Company: PT FKA Global
Raised Face Unconfined Gasket
• Mating face is flat, but the area inside the bolt holes is raised 1/16” or 1/4”.
Student: Fitra Perdana
• Gasket is usually ring type, entirely within bolts.
• Flanges may be disassembled easily without springing the flange.
DO NOT DISTRIBUTE - Printing for Student Use is Permitted
Male‐Female Semi‐Confined Gasket
• Depth of female (recessed) face normally equal to or less than height of male
(raised) face, to prevent metal‐to‐metal contact during gasket compression.
• Recessed O.D. normally is not more than 1/16” larger than the O.D. of the
male face.
• Joint must be pried apart for disassembly.
Tongue and Groove Fully Confined Gasket
• Groove depth is equal to or less than tongue height.
• Groove usually not over 1/16” wider than tongue.
• Gasket dimensions will match tongue dimensions.
Class Date: 18-Nov-2014
• Joint must be pried apart for disassembly.
Company: PT FKA Global
Groove to Flat Fully Confined Gasket
• One flange face is flat, the other is recessed.
• For applications requiring accurate control of gasket compression.
• Only resilient gaskets are recommended ‐ spiral wound, hollow metal O‐ring,
pressure‐actuated, and metal‐jacketed gaskets.

Module Overview
In this module, you will learn how to create construction estimates and drawings.
Company: PT FKA Global
Module Prerequisites
• Fundamental knowledge of vessel design.
Student: Fitra Perdana
Module Objectives
After completing this module, you will be able to:
• Create a bill of materials and construction cost estimate in AutoPIPE Vessel.
DO NOT DISTRIBUTE - Printing for Student Use is Permitted
• Create construction drawings of a vessel in AutoPIPE Vessel.
Bill of Material and Estimate
A bill of materials and a construction cost estimation can be created in AutoPIPE
Vessel using the Cost Estimation Bill of Materials command.
Class Date: 18-Nov-2014
Bill of Materials
The cost estimation process begins by creating a bill of materials. In AutoPIPE
Vessel, a bill of materials can be created from scratch or from an existing model.
Exercise: Create a Bill of Materials

6 In the AutoPIPE Vessel_Estimate dialog, notice that the Bill of Materials
has now been provided. This Bill of Materials will include each component
in the model and the size of the component.
Note: In the AutoPIPE Vessel_Estimate dialog, double click on each component
in the Bill of Materials to obtain additional information. The unit price,
purchase cost, and task sub contract cost for each component can be
customized. For this example, we will keep all of the default values for
each component, so click Cancel.
7 Keep the AutoPIPE Vessel_Estimate dialog open for the next exercise.
Construction Cost Estimation
After creating a bill of materials, the construction cost estimate can be prepared.
To create the cost estimate, AutoPIPE Vessel uses the default material rates and
the customizable files to associate a cost to each component (which may include
