Tank Shell Thickness

01/21/2010 10:23 AM

Please help me out to solve this :- I did some calculation but i donot know is it ok or not

Design Temp=120 degree c= 248 F

Design Pressure= 1.0 kg/sqcm/FV= 14.233 psi

Joint Efficiency = 0.7

Corrosion Allowance = 3mm.

Material = IS 2062 Gr.B

CST OD= 2200 mm.

CST THK assumed = 10 mm.

CST ID= 2180 mm.

Distance Between Stiffener = 3000 mm.

Max Allowable Stress = 20000 Psi

CST Inner Radius = 1090 mm.

For internal Pressure UG-27

Case 1= Circumferential Stress

t= PR/SE-0.6P

t=1.10803 mm.

Reqd t= 1.10803+ CA= 1.10803+3=4.1080 mm.

Case 2= Longitudinal Stress

t=PR/2SE+.4P

t=0.553mm.

Reqd t= 0.553+ CA= 0.5535+3=3.5535 mm.

Hence thickness 10 is ok for internal pressure .

Now for External Pressure (where i got prob in finding Exact Value of A & B)

UG-28

CST t=10 mm (Assumed)

Corrosion Allowance = 3 mm.

so t become = 10-3*2=4 mm.

Do/t= 550

L/do=1.36

Value of A Which I find is = .000068

Now A fall on left of material / temp curve so i have to calculate value according to

Pa= 2AE/3(Do/t)

E= 200 Gpa =29007500 psi

Pa= 2*0.000068*29007500/3*550

Pa=3945.02/1650

Pa= 2.3910 Psi

P=14.233

So according to design thickness is not Appropriate .

Please check this Calculation and let me know where I m wrong as i think some where i m doing some mistake .. or may be full calculation wrong ..

Hope to get vice reply soon ..

This is my First Post .

Regards

Varun

It would be most unwise to base the design approval for a pressure vessel on anonymous replies to a global Engineering discussion forum.

Follow the procedures adopted by the employing organisation and refer the calculation to a more experienced person within it instead.

Welcome to CR4, BTW.

Define correctly the design CODE:

1/-asme VIII div 1 is for Pressure vessels, in USA and middle esat

2/-API 650 is the design code for TANKS, this code is limited in terms of design pressure ( a few psi's !!)

so make sure first which code you have to use AND make sure you material is acceptable to the chosen Code.

Further you have to check HEADS or roof ,nozzles , supporting

Free download of an actual calculations for a Pressure Vessel, U-stamp which designed and constructed as per code ASME BPVC, Section VIII, Division : Pressure_Vessel_Design_Calculation.

Note. The Atmospheric Storage Tanks shall be designed and constructed in accordance with API 620 and API 650, not as per ASME code.
