I. Calculation of Thickness of Shell Under Internal Pressure as per UG-27

Material = A 516 Gr 70

t = Minimum required thickness of shell

r = Density of content = 0,036 lb/in3 1.000 kg/m3
Ps = Static head = r . H = 5,97 psi 0,412 barg
Pd = Total design pressure = Pi + Ps = 81,37 psig 5,61 barg
Td = Design temperature = 302,00 °F 150,00 °C
R = Inside radius of the shell course
= D/2 = 23,62 in 600,00 mm
Ri = Inside radius of shell course (corroded condition) =
= R + CA = 23,74 in 603,00 mm
S = Maximum allowable stress value at Td = 20.000 psi 1.406,14 kg/cm2
(Table 1A Sect II Part D)
E = Joint efficiency (Shell) = 0,85
CA = Corrosion allowance (Shell) = 0,118 in 3,00 mm

1. Circumferential Stress (Longitudinal Joints)

t = Pd.Ri / ( S.E - 0,6.Pd ) + CA

= 81,37 * 23,74 /( 20.000 * 0,85 - 0,60 * 81,37 )+ 0,12 = 0,232 in 5,89 mm
provided tact  0.5R or P 0.385SE Checked OK

2. Longitudinal Stress (Circumferential Joints)

t = Pd.Ri / ( 2.S.E + 0,4.Pd ) + CA

= 81,37 * 23,74 /( 20.000 * 0,85 + 0,40 * 81,37 )+ 0,12 = 0,175 in 4,44 mm
provided tact  0.5R or P  1.25SE Checked OK

Requirements from UG-16(b)(4)

UG-16(b)(4) The minimum thickness of shells and heads used in compressed air, steam service, and water
service made from material listed in table UCS-23, shall be 3/32 in (2.5mm) exclusive of any corrosion
allowance.

tmin = 0,094 + 0,118 = 0,212 in 5,38 mm

Conclusion :
Govern thickness use is max (0.248; 0.163; 0.173) = 0,232 in 5,89 mm
Actual thickness use is = 0,236 in 6,00 mm
Satisfactory
Use plate thickness of 0,236 in is Adequate

The maximum allowable working pressure of shell calculated as follows

P = S.E.(t-CA) / ( Ri + 0,6.(t-CA))
= 20.000 * 0,85 * 0,12 / ( 23,74 +( 0,60 * 0,12 )) = 83,31 psi 5,74 bar

II. Calculation of Thickness of Ellipsoidal Head Under Internal Pressure as per UG-32 and App.1-4

Material = A 516 Gr 70

Type = Ellipsoidal 2 : 1
t = Minimum required thickness of head after forming
tact = Actual thickness used of head = 0,315 in 8,00 mm
D = Inside diameter of head = 47,24 in 1.200,00 mm
Di = Inside diameter of head (corroded condition)

Pi = Internal design pressure = 75,40 psig 5,20 barg
h = Total (shell+heads) height = 165,35 in 4.200,00 mm
r = Density of content = 0,036 lb/in3 1.000,00 kg/m3
Ps = Static head = r . H = 5,97 psi 0,412 barg
Pd = Total design pressure = Pi + Ps = 81,37 psig 5,61 barg
Td = Design temperature = 302,00 °F 150,00 °C

L = Inside spherical or crown radius = 0.9 Di (UG-32(d)) = 42,73 in 1.085,40 mm

S = Maximum allowable stress value at Td = 20.000 psi 1.406,14 kg/cm2
(Table 1A Sect II Part D)
E = Joint efficiency = 0,85
CA = Corrosion allowance = 0,118 in 3,00 mm
fa = Forming allowance 6% = 0,007 in 0,17 mm
r = Inside knuckle radius, in = 0.17 x Di (UG-32 (d)) = 8,07 in 205,02 mm

t = Pd.Di/ ( 2.S.E - 0.2Pd ) + fa + CA

= 81,37 * 47,48 / (2* 20.000 * 0,85 - 0,20 * 81,37 ) + 0,007 + #### = 0,239 in 6,06 mm

Requirements from UG-16(b)(4)

UG-16(b)(4) The minimum thickness of shells and heads used in compressed air, steam service, and water
service made from material listed in table UCS-23, shall be 3/32 in (2.5mm) exclusive of any corrosion
allowance.

Conclusion :
Govern thickness use is = 0,239 in 6,06 mm
Actual thickness use is = 0,315 in 8,00 mm
Satisfactory
Use plate thickness of 0,315 in is Adequate

The maximum allowable working pressure of head calculated as follows

P = 2.S.E.(t-CA) / ((Di-2CA) + 0,2.(t-CA))
