Blast Case procedure

(For vessel designed with Compress)

Blast load will be represented by: - Drag wind
- External Pressure (over pressure)

Design condition:
a) Internal Pressure = Design Pressure
b) External pressure = Blast pressure (over pressure)
c) Temperature = Design Temperature
d) Vessel - corroded
e) Vessel with operating liquid
f) Blast pressure as drag wind
g) Seismic loads - None

Analysis:
a) Support integrity.
b) Shell integrity.

Calculation procedure:
1. Use PV Elite or Compress model created for operating case.
2. Set material allowable stress as allowed in specification
3. Apply Blast pressure as wind pressure in User created wind code.
4. Apply external pressure = Blast pressure.
5. Run calculation.
6. Print report.
