RE: Code Regarding Designing of Process heater chimeny/stack

Where are you located? This is an international forum, so you need to let us know where you are located so that someone in here might know which codes would apply. Code requirements vary by location.

RE: Code Regarding Designing of Process heater chimeny/stack

There is an ASME standard for the design of steel stacks, but I don't know if it addresses detailing issues like that.
Generally, in the US, OSHA rules would govern the detailing of the ladders and platforms, but wouldn't tell you where you needed them.
There are PIP industry standards that some facilities follow, but there again, I don't know if they specify what gets a ladder and what doesn't.

Pakistan. This vessel is designed as per ASME code, nd material specifications of ASTM.
