    1. GENERAL
    This Calculation Covers for design of Shell, Dish end, Nozzle neck Thickness and Leg
    Support for the Surge Vessel. ASME Section VIII Code has been adopted for calculation
    the Shell and Dish end Thickness.
    For lug support calculation AISC Reference and text book formula as applicable has
    been used.
    Nozzle Thickness and Reinforcement pad design is based on ASME Section VIII Division
    -1
    2. CODES AND STANDARD
    ASME SECTION VIII
    Division 1 - Provides requirements applicable to the design, fabrication, inspection,
    testing, and certification of pressure vessels operating at either internal or external pressures
    exceeding 15 psig.
    Division 2 - Alternative Rules, provides requirements applicable to the design, fabrication,
    inspection, testing, and certification of pressure vessels operating at either internal or
    external pressures exceeding 15 psig.
    Division 3 - Alternative Rules for Construction of High Pressure Vessels, provides
    requirements applicable to the design, fabrication, inspection, testing, and certification of
    pressure vessels operating at either internal or external pressures generally above 10,000
    psi.
    Section IX Welding and brazing Qualifications
    B31.1 Power Piping
    B31.2 Fuel gas Piping
    B31.3 Chemical Plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping

    3. DESIGN BASIS
    The thickness of shells under internal pressure shall be not less than that computed by
    the following formulas. In addition, provision shall be made for any of the other loadings
    listed in UG-22, when such loadings are expected. (See UG-16.)
    a) SHELL
    Tank inside Diameter
    - DO (in)
    Tank Radius
    - R (in)
    Tank Length (T.L to T.L)
    - L (in)
    Corrosion Allowance
    - CA (in)
    Joint Efficiency
    -E
    Material
    Max. Allowable Stress- S (Psi) (As per table 1a of ASME Section II Part D)

    Internal Design Pressure

    - P (Psi) (The design pressure is taken as 5% to 10% more


    than internal pressure, where as the test pressure is taken
    as 30% more than internal pressure.)

    Required Thickness (t)

    = PR / SE 0.6 P + CA (in)

    (OR)
    Pressure (p)

    = 2SEt / R + 0.6 t

    b) 2:1 ELLIPSOIDAL DISH END


    Ellipsoidal Heads. The required thickness of a dished head of semi ellipsoidal form, in
    which half the minor axis (inside depth of the head minus the skirt) equals onefourth of the inside diameter of the head skirt, shall be determined by
    Required Thickness (t)

    = PD / 2SE 0.2P + CA

    (OR)
    Pressure (p)

    = 2SEt / D + 0.2t

    An acceptable approximation of a 2:1 ellipsoidal head is one with a knuckle radius of


    0.17 ID and a Crown radius of 0.90 ID.
    c) NOZZLE NECK THICKNESS
    Thickness Required (tr)

    P*R / S*E 0.6*P + C.A (in)

    Area of Reinforcement Required

    d * tr

    (Sq.in)

    Area of Reinforcement Available

    A4

    Total Area =

    (Excess in Shell) larger of the following:


    (t tr)d
    (Sq.in)
    (tn trn) 5t
    (Sq.in)
    Inside projection
    tn * 2h
    Area of Fillet weld
    A1+A2+A3+A4 (Sq.in)

    This Area is less than the required area, therefore the difference shall be provided by
    reinforcement element. It may be heavier nozzle neck, larger extension of the nozzle inside of
    the vessel of reinforcement pad.
