    Joint efficiency - UG-27 ASME BPVC

    Thank you for this information Morcuse ! If I get it right it's only a "summary" of rules from UW-11 to UW-13 ? And anyway it does not mention circumferential or longitudinal joint efficiencies, right ?

    Joint efficiency - UG-27 ASME BPVC

    I agree with this, but David is right when he says : Endnote 20 mentions indeed the two different efficiencies. But it's the only location in ASME BPVC Sec VIII mentioning circumferential or longitudinal joint efficiency, that are not defined anywhere else.

    Joint efficiency - UG-27 ASME BPVC

    I didn't notice it, very useful and interesting for seamless shells. Thank you.

    Joint efficiency - UG-27 ASME BPVC

    Hey David ! How is it possible ? According to table UW-12 it can never be 0.85 if there is no RT or UT ? Thank you

    Joint efficiency - UG-27 ASME BPVC

    Hello Morcuse, Thanks for your answer. Where are defined the longitudinal and circumeferential joint efficiencies ? In the BPVC ? And why isn't it mentionned in the UG-27 ? "Common knowledge" haha ?

    Joint efficiency - UG-27 ASME BPVC

    Hello David and thanks for taking the time, Yes, I also agree with this, it says spot examined and has 0.7 coefficient, that should be 0.85. I see your point. This is the problem, my supervisor doesn't really have a much clearer idea of the thing, and is not particularly familiar with english...

    Joint efficiency - UG-27 ASME BPVC

    Thank you ! It has been only a year for me, so I don't know his name and often have questions. So, according to you, the coefficient 2 shouldn't appear in these formulas ? Then the value of E to consider for the calculation of the thickness of the shell would be 0.7 ? Thank you once again and...

    Joint efficiency - UG-27 ASME BPVC

    Good morning and first of all, thanks for your answer ! I'm reading this on the webpage i shared, it says "Circumferential joints – Table UW-12 column (c) = 0.70 x 2 = 1.4" So yes, there is probably a link with the coefficient 2 you mentionned between loads in hoop and axial directions of a...

    Joint efficiency - UG-27 ASME BPVC

    Hi everyone! This is my first thread here, and I’m sure it won’t be the last! I’ve searched the forum for an answer, but I haven’t found one—so I’m relying on your expertise. I’m designing a vessel according to ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 1 (2023), and I’m calculating the pipe per...
