Hi,
Im new to FEA..im trying to do a stress linearization for a pressure vessel body using solidworks simulation.
As you can see in the picture attached pic 1 shows the stress points and calculated membrane + bending stress between these two points. Which is around
50000 psi for von mises and...
Hi All,
Hope somebody could clear my doubts.
I'm looking to calculate the von mises equivalent stress (using distortion energy theory)and primary membrane stress intensity for a cylinder with internal and external pressure and with a compressive load on one sides as shown below.
So, for...
Hello ,
Has anybody faced Audit after the new
Revision API 6A 21st Edition, Nov 2019
Please share your experience (especially on
Gate Valves)
Regards,

Hi All,
I have a doubt in evaluating the stress by classical methods..
I could calculate the bolt load for operating condition and gasket seating condition and calculate the stress based on the reference below,
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, VIII, Division 2, Alternative Rules, ‘Rules...
Hi,
Please, can anybody explain what stress does the shear pin will see when the shaft is subjected to torsion? (See image attached)
I calculated as below,
Torsional Shear stress for a shaft (mild steel) = 0.75 x UTS of shaft
Shear stress for the shear pin (double shear) = 2 x UTS of...
Is reinforcement calculation required for gate valves? What is the condition to do or not to do a valve body shell to outlet reinforcement calculation?
Hi,
I am new to designing gate valves to API 6A 21st edition standard.
In the process of performing design calculation, I have few questions for which I am looking for answers.
1) When defining the design allowable stresses for pressure vessel calculation or wall thickness sizing, I am using...
