RE: ASME VIII DIV. 1 - UG-22 CALCULATIONS

mihir,

UG-22 (a),(b),(c),(d)(2), and (f) usually applies to small vessels supported on legs (angles), but you still have to evaluate if the other loadings are applicable. You also need to do a local stress analysis (WRC 107) for the leg to vessel attachment.
The design of the legs (angles) and base plates is outside the scope of ASME VIII. You need to do a structural analysis of those parts.

I am not aware of any freeware that does all of the UG-22 loadings. You need to purchase one that does them all. You can still do the calcs manually; you just need some good pressure vessel design books.
