    Part 4; API-579-1

    I have couple of questions on Part 4; API-579-1 (Edition 2016) 1- If length for thickness averaging (computed from equation 4.6) is more than vessel length, how thickness averaging can be performed in this situation? This situation often arises when Q=50 and Dml is large. 2- If length for...

    ASME SECTION I---FACTOR OF SAFETY FOR NOZZLE REINFORCEMENT RULES

    ASME Section I Edition 2015, End Note No. 10 is mentioning factor of safety 4 to 5 on tensile strength but from year 1999 and onward FOS is 3.5 on tensile. (FOS had been 4 to from 1914 to 1998) I think Section I has not updated the end note? Counterpart of End Note 10 in ASME Section VIII-1 is...

    Appendix 1-10

    Good evening dear members: Vessel is made from SA-106B. Reinforcement calculations are performed as per 1-10 in lieu of UG-37. While using "t", 12.5% allowance shall be minus from "t"? 1-10 is not clear on the definition of "t". UG-37 clearly mentions that when vessel is made from pipe, 12.5%...

    Plate Heat Exchanger Design

    Good Morning. How to calculate the required thickness of heat transfer plates in Plate Heat Exchangers (PHE) as per Section VIII Division 1? I can see only in API 662 that minimum thickness for plate elements shall be 0.5 mm. UG-16 excludes PHE from minimum thickness requirements. Is it a U-2...

    1985 Allowable Stress Values

    I have to perform remaining life calculations for an in-service vessel. The vessel was constructed in 1986, construction Code was ASME Section VIII Division 1 Edition 1985 plus summer addenda. Material is A-516-70. Design Temp is 85C. API-510 does not permit to use the allowable stresses from...
