Calculations thickness under internal pressure (PG-29)
Static Liquid height
(top of nozzle to bottom of head) Ps=D*g*Hs 0.01 MPa
Pressure internal included static head P=Pi+Ps 5.21 MPa
As PG-29.7 Head required thickness
shall be made at least as thick as
required thickness of a seamless shell
of the same diameter as PG-27 treq. (Head) = treq. (Shell) 43.9 mm

As PG-33.3 Head required thickness is


the thickness required for a seamless
hemispherical head of radius equal to
90% of the inside diameter of the shell treq. (Head) = P*0.9*Di/ (2 S*w-
0.2*P)+C 39.2 mm
Weld joint strength reduction factor per
PG-26 w 1
Head minimum thickness (after forming) tmin. 46 mm Satisfy

Check thickness with external pressure per PG-29.9
Unstayed dished heads with the pressure on the convex side shall have a maximum allowable working pressure
equal to 60% of that for heads of the same dimensions with the pressure on the concave side
Max. Allow. Working Pressure (external
pressure) MAEWP=60%*MAWP 3.28 MPa Satisfy
