1. Shell to End Closure

Paralel Load consist of : Equivalent Differential Ther. Expansion Pressure

P1 = 2.196 MPa
Transverse Load consist of : Shell Side Internal Pressure + Shell side vacuum pressure
Dip = 3 MPa Parallel load
Transverse Load
Dep = 0.101 MPa
P2 = Dip+Dep MPa
P2 = 3.101 MPa

Outside Diameter
OD = 114.3 mm
Inside Diameter Allowable tensile stress
ID = 97.18 mm st = 117.6 N/mm2
Inside Radius
r = 48.59 mm
Number of Fillet Weld Force on P1 = Paralel load*A
n = 2 --- Force on P2 = Transverse load*A

Area of Closure
A = p/4*(OD2-ID2) Acting Force f1 = P1/Lw
A = 2843.563581551 mm2 Acting Force f2 = P2/Lw

Length of Weld
Lw = (2*pi()*r)*n Normal Force f = SQRT(f12+f22)
Lw = 610.600 mm Weld Size req. tw = f/(0.707*0.55*st

Support Calculation
(Reff : Pressure Vessel Design Manual 4th Ed.)

P = 320kg

P = Design weiA =p/4*(OD2-ID2)

F = Force = 320*9.8 = 3136 N

Longitudinal moment attached to the pipe support is :

ML= F*e = 3136*250

= 784000 Nmm

Bending Stress :

Z = 4Rn2t = 4*(114.3/2)^2*8.56
= 111832 mm3

sb =ML/Z = 784000/111832
= 7.01 N/mm2

Allowable bending stress = Fb = 0.66*Fy = 0.66*188=124.08 N/mm2 > bending stress, Satisfactory

Check Weld size :

Section modulus of weld, Sw

Sw = pi()*R2= PI()*(114.3/2)^2
= 10260.826 mm2

Shear stress in weld due to bending moment, fs

fs=ML/Sw = 784000/10260.83
= 76.41 N/mm

Minimum Width of combined groove and fillet weld, W2

Fs = 0.4*Fy = 0.4*188
= 75.2 N/mm2

W2 =fs/Fs = 76.407/75.2
= 1.02 mm
The Width of combined groove and fillet weld 12 mm is adequate to resist bending stress
