FATIGUE ANALYSIS SCREENING, METHOD A

Method A as per Sec 5.5.2.3 is used for fatigue screenig as the specified minimum tensile strength that is
less than 552 Mpa

Design Life of Equipment: = 25 Yr

Design Pressure = 7.5 Mpa
Operating Pressure = 6.7 Mpa
Cyclic Loading
No. of startup and shut down for maintenance = 2 Nos./Yr
Max No. of full range operating cycle per year = 10 Nos./Yr

FATIGUE ANALYSIS SCREENING AS PER SEC. 5.5.2.3

N∆FP = All expected (design) number of full range pressure cycles, including startup & shut down.
N∆PO = Expected number of operating pressure cycles, in which the range of pressure variation exceeds 20% of
design pressure and 15% of design pressure for non-integral type
N∆TE =Effective number of changes in metal temperature between any two adjacent points
N∆Tα =number of temperature cycles for components involving weld between materials having

Different coefficients of thermal expansion

1 Design No. of full range Cycle:
(a) Number of startup and shut down for maintenance 2 Nos./Yr
 Number of startup and shut down for maintenance for complete life of the vessel 50 Nos
(b) Maximum number of full range operating cycle per year 10 Nos./Yr
Number of full range operating cycles for complete life ofthe vessel 250 Nos
N∆FP = All expected (design) number of full range pressure cycles, including startup & shut down. (a)+(b)
N∆FP = 300 Nos

2 Number of operating pressure cycles:

The vessel is of integral type of construction. Therefore the operating pressure cycles,
is the one in which the range of pressure variation exceeds 20% of design pressure.
Design Pressure P = 7.5 Mpa
Operating Pressure Po = 6.7 Mpa
If the pressure variation exceeds 20% Design Pressure (1.5 MPa), it is considered as one cycle.
For the vessel the pressure relief valve is set at 7.507 MPa, hence the operating pressure variation
will not exceed 20% of Design Pressure.
 Number of operating pressure cycles for complete life of the vessel, in which the range of
pressure variation exceeds 20% of design pressure - 0 Nos.
N∆PO = 0 Nos

3 Number of change in material temperature:

The temperature limit between any two adjacent points are limited up to 5°C.
During the startup and shut down the temperature will vary between atmospheric temperatures of
48 deg. C to Operating Temperature of 45 deg. C.
So the temperature variation is given as 3 deg. C.
Number of startup and shut down for maintenance is given - 2 Nos./ Year
Now as per table 5.8 of Sec VIII Div 2, the temperature factor is given as 0
N∆TE = 0 Nos

4 Number of temperature cycles with different Thermal Expansion Coefficients:

The complete vessel is manufactured by using P No.1, Group No.1 material. The welding is
performed by using the similar material. Since the P No. and Group No. remains same
throughout the vessel, the coefficient of thermal expansion will be constant.
N∆Tα = 0 Nos
Now sum of all the above No. of cycles

= 300 Nos

As per table 5.9 for integral construction, for condition for Fatigue Analysis requirement is,

Hence the above conditions are satisfied, and Fatigue Analysis is not required as per
Part 5.5.2 Method A
