This spreadsheet is designed as an aid in performing pressure vessel calculations in accordance with ASME Section VIII,

Division 1 Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The calculations contained in this p useful for rerating vessels, performing
alterations, or for general design studies. The work sheets in t program deal only with the most commonly used portions of the
code. The program is not intended t all aspects of the code. Refer to the applicable sections of the code for restrictions. The
calculations consideration only stresses imposed as a result of pressure. Other superimposed loads such as pipin equipment
reactions, wind loading, fluid shock, etc. must be considered seperately. Including the intr there are eleven work sheets in the

Where: t = minimum required thickness of shell, inches

P = internal pressure, psi
R = inside radius of shell course under consideration, inches
S = maximum allowable stress value, psi. at design temperature.
E = joint efficiency. See UW-12 for welded shells. See UG-53 for ligaments between openings.
The minumum thickness will be the greater thickness of t = (PR)/(SE - 0.6P) for circumferential stress or
t = (PR)/(2SE + 0.4P) for longitudinal stress.

Formed vessel heads generally fall into one of three categories: ellipsoidal, torispherical, or hemispherical.
Ellipsoidal: Inside depth of the head minus the skirt is equal to one fourth of the inside diameter of the skirt.
These are also commonly refered to as 2:1 elliptical heads.
Torispherical: Inside crown radius is equal to the outside diameter of the skirt and the knuckle radius is 0.06 times the inside crown radius.
It will not be readily apparent in the field whether a head is ellipsoidal or torispherical so it's best to consult vendor drawings and data.
The calculations below are for pressure on the concave side.

Thickness of cylindrical shells under external pressure. ASME Sect. VIII, paragraph UG-28.
This work sheet calculates the allowable external pressure for a cylindrical vessel having a known outside diameter, wall thickness, and
length between lines of support. It is assumed that external stiffeners are adequately designed.
Gather the following information and reference materials prior to using the worksheet.
1. Material designation for the vessel
2. Design temperature
3. Outside diameter
4. Vessel shell thickness
5. Section ll, Part D of the ASME Code opened to Subpart 3 (page 621)

Step 1. Enter known values.

Outside diameter, D = 90 inches
o
Shell thickness, t = 1 inches Section length between
lines of support, L= 920 inches

Note: For definition of a line of support, see ASME Section VIII,

paragraph UG-28(b).
Step 2. Calculate ratios. D /t =

Step 3. Determine factor A

a. Go to ASME Section II, Part D, Subpart 3, Figure G (page 622 & 623).
b. Enter Figure G at the value of L / D in Step 2 above. If L / D is greater than 50, enter the chart at L / D = 50. If L / D is less than 0.05,
o o o o

enter the chart at L / D = 0.05. o

c. Move horizontally to the line for the value of D / t calculated above. From this point of intersection,
o

move vertically downward to determine the value of factor A.

d. Enter the value for factor A at cell B29 below. (scroll down)

Value of factor A = 0.00015

Step 4. Determine factor B
a. Using the value of A from step 3, enter the applicable material chart in Section II, Part D, Subpart 3 for the material being considered.
The material charts start on page 624.
b. Move vertically upward to an intersection with the material/temperature line for the design temperature. If A falls to left of the
material/temperature line, skip this step and scroll down to step 6. If A falls past the right end of a material/temperature line, use the
horizontal projection of the end of the line as the point of intersection.
c. From the point of intersection in step b, move horizontally to the right and read the value for B. Enter this value in cell B41 below.
(scroll down)

Value of factor B = 2000

Step 5. Maximum allowable external pressure using factor B.
P = (4B) / 3(D /t) = 29.63 psi
a o
Step 6. Select modulus of elasticity, E. No factor B.
If factor A falls to the left of the material/temperature line, P is calculated using the modulus of elasticity, E, at the design temperature.
a

Select the modulus of elasticity and enter its value in cell B52 below.
E= 2.90E+07
Step 7. Maximum allowable external pressure using modulus of elasticity.

This worksheet calculates the required moment of inertia for a stiffening ring attached to a cylindrical shell under external pressure.
The calculated moment of inertia can be compared to the moment of inertia of a corroded or damaged stiffening ring.The calculation is
performed in accordance to ASME Sect. VIII, paragraph UG-29.
Information and reference material needed to perform this calculation include:
* ASME Section II, Part D, Subpart 3
* modulus of elasticity, E, for stiffening ring material at design temperature
* outside diameter of shell
* shell thickness
* distance between lines of support (see ASME Sect. VIII, paragraph UG-28(b))
* cross sectional area of existing stiffening ring

Step 1. Enter known values.

Shell O.D. Do = 169
Shell thickness t= 0.3125
External pressure P= 15
Modulus of elasticity for material
E= 2.45E+07

Cross sectional area of stiffener,

As= 2.39

Ls= 40

Step 2. Factor B calculated

B= 5107

Step 3. Determine factor A

a. Open ASME Section II, Part D, Subpart 3 to the applicable chart for the stiffener material under
consideration. The charts begin on page 624.
b. Enter the right hand side of the applicable chart at the value of B determined in step 2 above.
