I give below the main design specs for the vessel:
1. Internal Design Pressure = 50 psi
2. NO external pressure
3. Other loads = Dead Loads due to internal refractory and self-weight
4. Operating Shell temperature = 700°F
5. Shell material = Carbon Steel (SA 516 Gr. 70)
6. Design Code = ASME...
We are doing a solid finite element liner static study of a steel pressure vessel which is subjected to dead loads, internal pressure and a temperature load of 700°F. While the allowable stress for the material under ambient temperature is 20,000 psi, it is 18,100 psi at 700°F. While the actual...
