Half pipe jacketed vessel under external pressure
Half pipe jacketed vessel under external pressure
(OP)
I have to check if an existing vessel could be used under full vacuum.
It has a half pipe jacket in the shell and bottom. I think the jacket acts as a stiffener but it is not clear for me how to calculate it. I didn't find anything about that in ASME VIII.
Can anybody help me with that?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks but ignoring the half pipe jacket the shell is not able to work under vacuum.
I want to know if the half pipe jacket acting as a stiffener ring provides enough resistance.
