Hello everybody, i have a spherical desander at 5000 psi, which was constructed for the American market at MDMT-20, now the Canadian market is interested in this equipment but the MDMT is -40, the non pressure retaining parts such as name plate, lift lugs, skirt and base plate are made form...
Hello all, I have some equipment as shown in the pictures that have a pipe failure at the support attached.
This is a Vertical Recovery Tower 30" OD X 30' S/S operating at 50 PSI @ 100 F. According to the field foreman, the vessel started leaking 30 min after operation start.
my concerns about...
Hello all, i have some vertical separator vessels with a skirt support, those are code vessels, my question: is it required per ASME code add vent holes in the skirt? if so, how many and what are their typical size and location? what is the code reference paragraph that state this requirement...

Hello Everybody after reading the reference thread i just want to figure out the meaning of 360 on the deflection parameter, where this number came from? it has any units? if my deflection calculations are in metric units i use the same value? what are the conditions to compare...
Hello everybody, i just want to know if there are some requirements per ASME code in the installation of nozzle repad, if not, what is the standard practice on 2-piece pad installation?
i have various equipments mounted on a skid, i have the total wgt and wind load, this skid is anchor concreate bolted, what are the basic formulas to determine the bolt size and quantities, after some searching i found those calcs are besed on ACI 318-08, is there any free site to download this...
I have a vertical vessel which will be operating on a barge, this is a huge vessel (102" OD x 732" overall dims including the skirt), what is the movement impact on the vessel thks and what procedure or formulas i have to consider to add that extra load on thks calc?
Thanks.
Hello guys, after reading some post about this topic, I just wonder if every time we have an opening in skirt support, it is required to replace the area?, what is the calculation method?
Hello guys, I have a vert. heater treater vessel where the opening is an o-bround shape, vessel is 72" OD and the o-bround is 27"W x 48"H, to calculate if the reinforcement is required, as this is a large opening, probably i need to use appx 1-10, my question is how i treat the shape geometry...
When we are designing heads (ellip 2:1 or F & D) the result in code formulas give us the min required after forming, i know the thinning allowance depends of many factors from the fabricator, also the knucle radious could no be lower than 6% of OD (for F & D), so somebody could give some safe...
I have a non-code vessel, SA-36 material, I am increasing the allowable stress to 23200 psi decreasing the safety factor to 2.5, I'm not performing any RT, so I'm using 70% efficiency, but with the thks I have my MAWP is still below my DP, can I increase my Efficiency to reach my DP keeping my...
