General 1, Scope ‘This Part of this British Standard specifies dimensions and ‘materials for saddle supports welded to stationary horizontal vessels having dimensions in accordance with Part 4 of thie standard. This standard is applicable to saddle supports welded to vessels manufactured from carbon, carbon manganese and austenitic steels having ‘ permissible design stress not exceeding 210 N/mm? at 50 °C, with corresponding values at higher temperatures. NOTE 1. Ortaie of related referance document are given in appendix 8 NOTE 2. The titles of the publications referred to in thie stancord bre lita on the insige back cover 2. Materials 2.1 Saddle supports. The materials used for the Construction of the supports shal be as follows. (a) The saddle plate, which is welded to the vessel, shall be made from material in accordance with the same material specification 2s the material used for the vessel (b] Material in accordance with BS 4360 grade 43A, [BS 1801-151 grade 400A or 8S 1501-151 grade 430A shall be permitted for other parts of these supports which are not welded to the vessel, providing they are suitable at the predicted temperature. 2.2. Anti-frietion materials for sliding supports. When PTFE is specified for sliding supports (see 5.1), the material shall, comply with BS 3784, This material shall not be used for applications at temperatures in excess of 200 °C. 3.1. The dimensions of the supports shall be as shown in figure 1 or figure 2, according to the diameter of the vessel. 3.2 Saddle supports shal fit closely, and the gap at all exposed edges to be welded shall not exceed 2 mm or lone-twentieth of the thickness of the attachment at the Point of attachment, whichever isthe greater. 4, Manufacture Saddle supports shall normally be welded to the vessel before any post-weld heat treatment, but in exceptional circumstances, the saddle shall be attached following postweld heat treatment, provided that the saddle plete is continuously welded to the shell before post-weld heat ‘treatment. NOTE. This standard does not specity« proctdure for welding the saddle supports tothe vessel after postamesheat trestment and {he ful procedure, including the welding of the sedale,shou'd be subject fo agreement between the manutscturar and the purchowe. 5. Design considerations 5.1 Provision for axial movement. One support shall be fixed and the other restrained laterally but shall be able to,move axially to accommodate movement resulting from thermaf effects and axial stra ‘The sliding support shall be determined from figure 3 as either the steel-on-steel type (see figure 4) or of low friction material (see figure 5) NOTE. Iti assumed tnt the coetticient of fretion ie 1 for steel-onteel slicing supports and 01 for liging supports of low ‘rietion material On tvis boss, the use of the stetl-n see! type ir tobe limited to those sppleations where the lead on the soaale svoport lls blow the curve on figure end i fsa lene than 0.1%, (ove clause 6). In cates where either ofthese limitations Ie exceeded, low friction materal ould be used The choice of sliding support to be used may be further influences by oundevons or supporting steehwors,BS 5276 : Part 2: 1983 eon 01 Buypoane su re 104 se (0006 ow osc] sce ‘0811 ©: a0! wa | 08 (0005 az] om] oe oc] 8 00 036 © 008 oct] 08 cose wz on | 09] 092 sz 052 © 008 o oq | mou suodans | yowns | s07%0 (928002 295) ‘pees poms | ow] ox] or] xf |e Sill’ ess jo ‘a peo} osm 109) wv ‘ wage) | sewpxorddy | mop supe | enueg 1 eanbiy umoys 5 suosvewig ‘ay yum spyem “sess ‘ug 8 Janayys “wus Q| 40 ssouyo1sn arid ajppes aun o4 endo s4i6U9) snonunuod /24s 01 218/0 jppes BuprzeuUed (a) “ua g 40 sy.6uoy oy yuo aveyd ayn s9p1s ylog uo spyam i915 snonunuoa :stuodans ayppes yo uolneaHi9e4 ssie0p prom dS8 UI % paddo; puo aqIUP 9104 B40 45091 AY, parods.
