ASME VIII Appendix 13 Lv/H<4
ASME VIII Appendix 13 Lv/H<4
(OP)
I am currently looking at a number of rectangular vessels which have a Lv/H and/or Lv/h ratio less than 4. They were built in 1976 and I cannot seem to get it to comply with the post 1986 editions of ASME VIII Div 1.
My questions are:
- when did Appendix 13 first appear in ASME VIII Div 1?
- were the special conditions for short vessels in place in 1976?
- what method was used prior to App 13 appearing in ASME VIII Div 1?
I look forward to any comments.

RE: ASME VIII Appendix 13 Lv/H<4
So the normal rules can be used for short vessels, although the analysis will be conservative. If they don't qualify a U-2(g) analysis will need to be performed.
