Designing Rings for Pressure Carrying Applications
Designing Rings for Pressure Carrying Applications
(OP)
Hello,
I need to design rings that can withstand a certain amount of pressure. ASME Section VIII has thickness calculations for full plates in UG-47 & UG-34, but the thicknesses yielded from these calculations are over designed (as expected). Can anyone point me in the right direction for ring thickness calculations?
Thanks!

Ring calculations are in ASME VIII calculations for flanges, but the way pressure is applied and supporting is arranged is specific to flanges (could be adapted though).
