add corrosion allowance ∶ 0.691 + 0.063 = 0.753 in.
2) Check postweld heat treatment and radiograph requirements.
UCS-56, Tbl UCS-56 Note (3)(a): Postweld heat treatment required if thickness exceeds 5/8 in; because
0.753 > 0.625, postweld heat treatment required UW-11 (a), UCS-57 (note: cf. UW-52): radiograph required
P-3, Gr 1, 2, 3 if t > 0.750 in.; because 0.753 > 0.750, radiography is required;

4) Check applicability of formula: UG-27 (c)(1)

0.5R = (0.5) (18) = 9.0;0.750 < 9.0 formula OK
Head Thickness: (UG-32)

1) A dished head will be used, UG-32 (j) requires that the inside knuckle radius shall be not less than 6% of the outside
diameter of the skirt, nor less than three times the head thickness. Also, the inside crown radius is to not exceed
the outside diameter of the skirt, thus try:
inside crown radius, L = 27 in. < 37.375 in.
inside knuckle radius, r = 4 in. > 0.06 × 37.375 = 2.24 in.
2) Thickness required: UA-4 (d)
E = 1.00 for seamless head

t + c = 0.563 therefore use head plate thickness of 0.688 in.(11∕16)
3) Check minimum thickness: UG-32 (b).
For a joint efficiency of 0.85 between the head and shell, postweld heat-treated double-butt weld for the circumfer-
ential joint: UG-32 (f ).

A cylindrical skirt is optional for the head butt-welded to the shell, a tangent of 1 1/2 in. length will be used to
provide a bevel for the butt weld; this will avoid cutting the bevel into the knuckle.

a) Combined end and side loading stress in butt welds
(20,000) (0.74) = 14,800 psi

b) Combined end and side loading stress in fillet welds

Attachment welding is satisfactory.
8 in. Lap-Joint Flange Attachment and Selection

1) Check welding between the nozzle and shell and reinforcing for strength to withstand hydrostatic end force.
Permissible shear stress in butt welds (Tbl UW-15)
(20,000) (0.60) = 12,000 psi.
Shear strength of butt weld (cf sheet 4 for dimensions)
(π) (8.625) (0.687) (12,000) = 223,400 lb.
Hydrostatic end force to inner diameter of nozzle
(π/4) (7.750)2 (525) = 24,700 lb.
Thus, the butt weld alone is safe for hydrostatic end force
223,400 > 24,700 lb.
2) From ANSI B16.5-2017 Steel Pipe Flanges and Fittings, use 400 lb.
Rated at 665 psi at 500 ∘ F.
From vendor’s catalog:
Number of bolts 12
Size of bolts 1 in.
Bolt circle diameter 13 in.
3) Use lap-joint stub end, 8.625 OD by 7.625 ID by 8 in. long
4) From vendor’s catalog, use 1/16 in. gasket – 12 in. OD by 8 in. ID.

Flange Thickness Calculations

Assume that the hydrostatic end force, H, is effective to 22 in. diameter, the assumed location of the gasket reaction,
and use a factor of safety of 2 to assure a tight joint.
1) Design hydrostatic end force, H = (π/4)(222 )(525)(2) H = 400,000 lb

2) Required number of bolts to carry this load:
= (400,000)/(20,000)(0.943) = 21.2 (this compares favorably with 24)
3) g 1 /2 = (1/2)(0.563 + 1.0) = 0.782
4) For the critical section at 16.875 + (2)(0.782) = 18.438 diameter, the arc length of a sector containing one bolt will
be: arc length = (π)(18 438)/24 = 2.42 in.
5) Allowable bolt load on sector = (20,000)(0.443) W = 18,860 lb/bolt
6) Gasket reaction = 18,860 – (1/24)(π/4)(222 )(525) = 18,860 – 8330 = 10,530 lb/bolt
7) Bending moment at critical section
= (18,860)(1/2)(24.0 – 18.438) – (10,530)(1/2)(22.00 – 18.438)
= 52,500 – 18,750 = 33,850 lb in.
8) Calculated thickness for radial flange stress: Sf = Mc/I; (UA-52)
12,000 = (33,850)/(1/6)(2.42)(t 2 );t 2 = 7.00 t = 2.65 in.

try t = 2.75 in.
9) Calculated thickness for longitudinal hub stress (UA-52)

(12,000)(1.5) = (33,850)/(1/6)(2.42)(g 1 2 ) ∴ g 1 2 = 4.66 and g 1 = 2.16 in.
10) Revise estimated flange dimensions using:
g 1 = 2.00 in C = 16.875 + 2(2.00 + 1.875)= 24.625 in.

R = 1.875 in A = 24.625 + 2(1.25) = 27.125 in.
h = (3)(2 – 0.563) = 4.31, say 4.50 in.

(0.274)(h)(2)(17,100) = 9370 h lb.

6) Strength of nozzle wall available for reinforcement
5870 + (9370 – 2360)(h) (est. h = 1) = 12,880 lb. est.

5870 + 4810 = 10,680 lb. corr.
7) Load to be carried by added reinforcement
58 600 – (42,500 + 12,880) = 3220 lb. est.

58 600 – (42,500 + 8840) = 7260 lb. corr.
Summary 405
8) Area required of added reinforcement
3220/17,100 = 0.188 sq. in. est.

9) Area of reinforcement used: two 5/8 in. fillet welds inside and out plus extension on nozzle inside of head
Welds: (0.625)(0.625)(0.5)(4) = 0.781 sq. in.

Nozzle: (0.625)(0.274)(2) = 0.342 sq. in.
10) Strength of reinforcement added
(0.781)(20,000) + (0.342)(17,100) = 21,500 lb.

11) Width of area of reinforcement, h
(2.5)(0.274) h = 0.685 in.
Summary
12) Load calculated to have existed in the metal removed
(525)(1/2)(27 + 1.25)(4.50) 33 400 lb.
13) Strength of metal in head available for reinforcement
(0.270)(7.902 – 4.50)(20,000) 18,370 lb.
14) Strength of nozzle wall available for reinforcement 10,680 lb.
15) Strength of added reinforcement 21,500 lb.
16) Total strength 50,550 lb.
Because the total strength of 50,550 lb. exceeds the load of 33 400 lb. the design is satisfactory.
