Conical Transition
Conical Transition
(OP)
Hello,
I have a pressure vessel with conical bottom end up with a nozzle. Include angle at cone bottom is 90 degrees. Does this vessel needs toriconical head with straight flange?
Accidentally the vessel got fabricated with cone without straight flange. Shell is directly joined with cone end. Do i need to do FEA to check the shell-cone juntion.

RE: Conical Transition
any code vessel that has a cone with more than 60* included angle must have toriconical transition to shell.
any code fabricator that did this, should be looked at very carefully before giving any more work.
I would also check with their AI to find out how this happened.
If it is not code stamped, then any thing is fair game.
