“Vessels and apparatus.

Norms and methods of strength calculation”
INTRODUCTION
First national standard regulations on the strength design and calculating of
vessels & apparatus: RTM 42-62 «Vessels and apparatus. Norms and methods of a
strength design of assemblies and components» appeared in the USSR in early
1960s.
A lot of work on the preparation of uniform rules for the calculation of the states
COMECON. Jointly with their colleagues from East Germany (GDR),
Czechoslovakia and other states Soviet specialists developed standards (ST SEV)
for a design of vessels and apparatus. Soviet national standards GOST 14249,
GOST 24755, GOST 24756, GOST 24757 and many others were developed on this
basis.
If a mutual consent of all COMECON states on any questions hadn't been
achieved, according documents published as industry standards: RD 26-14-88, RD
26-15-88 etc. Consequently, highly developed system of standard technical
documents on a strength design of vessels and apparatus has been worked out in
the USSR.
GOST R 52857(1-12) – 2007
INTRODUCTION (2)
It consisted of several tens of documents, which were systematically revised and
renewed, according to new researches and experience. But the evident defect of this
system is a great number of various documents of different levels, it entangled the
system and make its use very complicated.
In the beginning of 2000s two new circumstances appeared which also stimulated
a revision of old standards. First, «On a technical regulation» act was adopted, in
accordance with it all types of normative standard documents, used in Russia,
had to be unified. Second, it has been adopted the new European standard EN
13445, in the development of which former colleagues from COMECON actively
participated.
As a result, general approaches, underlying in EN 13445, were often very close
to approaches, conformed in COMECON and used in Russian standards. Moreover,
many sections, which had been developed earlier during the COMECON meetings,
and then became a part of our standards, have been also included into the new
European standard without any significant changes.
GOST R 52857(1-12) – 2007
INTRODUCTION (3)
It gave an opportunity to harmonize main sections of redeveloped Russian norms
with the European standard EN 13445.
Vladimir I. Rachkov (head of Department of strength of “JSC NIICHIMMASH”)
leaded a workgroup of developers of the new collection of standards. There were
also specialists affiliated with “Petrokhim Engineering Ltd.” and “JSC
VNIINEFTEMASH”. During the work, there were also involved representatives from
other companies with experience of the standards' development, who were authors
of several normative documents, assumed as a basis for redeveloped standards.
As a result there were developed a collection Russian National Standards GOST
R 52857.1-2007…GOST R 52857.12-2007 “Vessels and apparatus. Norms and
methods of strength calculation”.

elastic basis and stress categories method for their estimation. The approach for
valuing of stresses, presented in GOST R 52857.1, while using design by analysis,
is similar to the approach presented in Annex C EN 13445-3 and Part 5 (5.2.2)

Strength and leak-tightness calculation of flange joints”
Includes the method of design flange joints with integral, optional and loose type
flanges. Instead of the ring in a model of flange joint there were used the plate as in
the modified Tailor Forge method in the ASME Code VIII, 1.
At the same time, the theoretical model of flange joint in the GOST R 52857.4,
unlike to ASME Code VIII, div.1, examines the team-work and the compatibility of
deformations of all flange joint elements. Due to this fact, GOST R 52857.4
calculates the flange connection entirely and allows to consider a different thermal
expansion between a bolt and a flange, the behavior of the bolt load as pressure is
applied, non-pressure loads and other. The criteria of strength for elements of
flange joints are assigned on basis of the existent flanges’ field experience.
Main types of flanged joints covered by this standard are shown in figures

Calculation of shells and heads from influence of support loads”
Includes the strength calculation of shells and heads with local loads due to
lifting lugs, horizontal vessels on saddle supports, vertical vessels on bracket
supports, vertical vessels with supporting legs from tubes and plates.
The design in this standard bases on the “bending limit stress”. This method had
been developed in Eastern Germany, widely used in standards of COMECON and
GOST, and it has been included into EN 13445. In accordance with this method the
solution is based on theory of elasticity. Then, for an estimate of results it is used a
model of plastic strip of a shell and calculated the limit load.
Analogous method is used in par. 16 EN 13445.
For shell, supporting node, determine local acceptable efforts [F]i. The basis of

floating heads and air-cooled heat exchangers. The analytical model of the fixed
shall-and-tube heat exchanger tubesheet is plate on elastic foundation, the same
as in the ASME Code VIII, 1, EN 13445 and other standards.
But in the solution traditionally it is used the value of perforated plate rigidity,
strength condition of the weld between tube and tubesheet and other value findings
independently during earlier realized research works.
In design of floating head it is used the same approaches as in the design of
dished heads under internal and external pressure and flange connections.
For strength calculation of the rectangular pressure vessel section of air heat
exchangers, as distinct from ASME Code VIII, 1 and EN 13445, it is used a method
based on the plastic limit analysis and low boundary of the limit load.

Determines strength calculation norms for vessels from carbon and low-allow
steels, working under the temperature up to 200 C in hydrogen sulfide humid
media. The main distinction of the approach of this standard is an additional
limitation of tension stresses on surfaces contacting with hydrogen sulfide media.
Vessels and apparatus are divided on five groups, in accordance with partial
pressure of hydrogen sulfide PH2S and acidity pH. Safety factors are fixed in
accordance with an apparatus’s group (See Table ).
