Design Calculation Sheet

boiler and pressure vessel - thus b&pv.

???

Wow!! Looking at this and some of your other posts it looks like you've really got a tiger by the tail.

What is your work background that has left you scrambling to make sense of these things?

all questions are related so i thought maybe if somebody couldnt answer one he ll answer another thats why

The ASME BPVC is not a totally design handbook, it states only the design formulas for loading conditions due to pressure and temp., and a lot of other loadings must be stated and verified by the designer/owner by using other handbooks or related means. Also the ASME BPVC states the factor of safety specially for the used material, and therefore defines the allowable stresses of that material at the specified temp.

Therefore, the values mentioned are calculated by the designer based on design formulas of ASME and by substituting for the design pressure, design temp., mechanical properties (allowable tensile strength, SMYS, ... etc.) of material at design temp. So, the designer/owner/consultant must specify the other loadings to be taken into consideration.

I recommend to take a look for ASME code and see how the calculations proceeded.

The objective of your design parameters falls to the category of Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code. The design code is the ultimate data reference that you can obtain from the materials you will be use in fabrication or manufacturing.

When you design a large storage tanks for water or oil at atm pressure, you will not be using B&PV Code.

Same as when you design Heat Exchanger Equipment you will be using TEMA Code.
