Proof Test - Rectangular Plate Cover
Proof Test - Rectangular Plate Cover
(OP)
Dear Engineers,
I'm facing to one issue and I would be really please if someone can help me.
I have designed a pressure vessel. The vessel has a rectangular nozzle/opening reinforced by outer ribs. It was designed with using FEA (Shell model) and EN 13445 Appendix C.
Now I need to design a rectangular cover which will enclose the pressure chamber for proof testing. The cover will be welded all around its perimeter by a fillet weld to the welding flange of the vessel. Could someone help me how to properly design the cover thickness and the fillet weld throat? I would like to use some simple way and not to model the weld-cover-vessel connection area by 3D FE model. Does any DBA exists or any handbook? Do you have any experience with it?
Thank you very much for any help.
