Rectangular Vessel
(OP)
I need to do some calculations on a rectagular pressure vessel. I don't think that there is anything in ASME Sec 8 Div 1 on rectangular vessels. What would be my best course of action. Really all I need a wall thinkness calc for square vessels. Any suggestions???

Newfie-
I'd suggest you read Section VIII Div. 1 Appendix 13. Let us know what you find...

RE: Rectangular Vessel
We have over 50 rectangular vessels (4'x 8'x 10") in operation designed for 125 psig @ 850F. The internals that act as stiffeners are 4130 castings designed for 2500 psig @ 850F. Some of these vessels are 50 years old with an on stream utilization of better than 99.9%.
We also have 17 jacketed SS vessels where the core is two overlapping circles, the cross section is a figure 8.
All ASME stamped.

In fact these are calcs on a Air cooled heat exchanger. tHe sections are rectangular and have plugs all down both sides and tubes running through the middle. Not your average pressure vessel.
