Carbon Steel Stress

Carbon Steel Stress

(OP)
I want to calculate teh thickness of a carbon steel vessel with e=P.r/K + CA (corrosion allowance)

but I don't know the value of the hoop stress K for Carbon steel

RE: Carbon Steel Stress

Pressure Vessel Handbook, by Eugene F. Megyesy, Tenth Edition

for internal pressure on page 22,

t = PR / SE+ 0.4P

WHERE)
P = DESIGN PRESSURE OR MAX ALLOWABLE WORKING PRESSURE
S = STRESS VALUE OF MATERIAL PSI SEE ASME PATE D
E = JOINT EFFICIENCY
R = OUTSIDE RADIUS
D = OUTSIDE DIAMETER
t = WALL THICKNESS
C.A. = CORROSION ALLOWANCE



RE: Carbon Steel Stress

You may also refer to ASME sec VIII Div 1 appendix L for workedout examples. Also refer to Sec II D and Sec VIII Div 1 Table UW 12.
