HTURKAK, Thank you for your input, if applying the Clause 5.6.2, Sd will be 16,000psi, St will be 21,000 psi.

MJCronin, Thank you for your reply. It is API 650 tank, Design pressure: 0.1 psig. Dimensions ID 40 feet, Height 46 feet, Cone roof. API 650 doesn't cover titanium material, I refer the stress ratio from Appendix S, Table S2.b, and get Sd = 20600 psi. St=36000, B265 Grade 2 has yield: 40,000...

HI, for titanium tank, material B-265 Gr.2, design temperature 261F, can we use the Sd at, 20,600 psi, it is 70% of its yield, 29,700psi? (ASME 8-1 has 12,400 psi). Thanks for any comments.

Thank you, WARose, I have the book, Tubular Steel Structure. It gave a critical allowable stress, about 40%Fy. In Compress, I use chart of CS-3, if the input thickness is thicker as nominal, Compressive stress (B) is higher (22% Fy), then Tmin is smaller. If input of thickness is actual one, B...

PSSC, Thanks for your time for response. I applied Compress to check it with original nominal thickness, Tmin is less than the measured wall thickness, it passed. If input of measured wall thickness, a thicker Tmin is more than the measured, it failed. This is different from the evaluation on...

Hi, Steel Chimney Experts, I like to know what conditions should be considered to calculate the minimum required wall thickness (Tmin). 1) Original wind code 2) Original nominal wall thickness, instead of actual wall thickness measured. 3) Original allowable tensile stress 4) Original allowable...

Yes, it works. It is a better option than adding a repad.

Thanks for your input, the customized bore HB flange had been ordered.

Bore ID =12, D=15.94, t=1.97"

DP=320 psig, DT=650F, ID=120", SA-516 Gr70, Allowable stress: 17,500 psi, Shell measured thk=1.334" (nominal 1.375"), future CA=0.125". New Nozzle, SA-350 LF2 CL1, 12", 300#, HB neck thk: 1.97", CA=0.125", allowable stress: 20,000psi. Nozzle loads: Pr=6600 lbf, VL=Vc=3960, Mt=166,320 lbf-in...

My COMPRESS doesn't have License for Division 2, not performed.

TGS4, 46-3(a), The thickness shell sections was not determined by Division 2, It was by Division 1.

Thanks for all of your inputs. So I have to add a repad on the integral nozzle (HB type) to meet the requirement of area replacement rule.
