Jacket Space Width (ASME SECTION VIII DIVISION 1)
Jacket Space Width (ASME SECTION VIII DIVISION 1)
(OP)
In 'Mandatory Appendix 9 - Jacketed Vessels' there is an equation to determine the maximum jacket width based on your jacket type. This value is the maximum distance between the outer radius of the shell and the inner radius of the jacket. What is the mechanical significance of this constraint? Is there a derivation of the equation j = (2*(St^(2))/(P*Rj))-((.5)*(ts+tj)). Thank you in advance for any help in describing this concept to me.

I hope my wording is not too confusing.
