Dear All,
I am seeking your guidance on table table 5.3 of ASME VIII, Div.2.
On table 5.3 are reported several loads combination in design and operating condition with related allowable stressed.
1 - Self-restraining load T
Recently, I have seen several reports where temperature is neglected...
Dear All,
as per ASME VIII div.2 ed.23, fatigue screening method B has changed.
I am not sure on how to understand certain calculation of the screening.
Let check for instance eq. (5.19).
The damage associated with the full range pressure cycle is the ratio between the number of full pressure...
Dear All,
I am replicating the example problem E5.2.2 and I am facing some issue in the inputs.
I have created my own spreadsheet as per annex 3D and I am comparing my results with the material input data given at E5.2.3.
Why as per E5.2.3 in the tab data elastic strain is considered equal to...
Dear All,
sometimes has happened in my experience that client requires ATEX nameplate and declaration of conformity for pressure vessel.
What i was use to do was to check that vessel operating temperature was lower than the temperature limit of the ATEX zone classification and then prepare a...
Dear All,
with new code edition, tube to tubesheet joint requirements have been unformed between div.1 and div.2
I have couple of question on code interpretation. May you help me?
UW-20.1.1 (d) - for U tube is not necessary to calculate joint strength
UW-20.3.1 - "...These rules apply to...

Dear All,
I am reviewing a fatigue analysis of a vessel with an agitator on the top nozzle which is subjected to external loads fatigue (same situation of the quoted thread).
No pressure or temperature fatigue is expected.
Vessel is analyze with a FEA considering the the...
