Contrarytotheplatematerial,yourpipe
and tube mill undertolrances need to be
taken
into
account
for
design
consideration.
Pipe and tube undertolrances are almost
12.5 % of the nominal wall thickness,
but sometimes there are differences for
different materials, so for any specific
material, it shall be referred to the
suggested pipe or tube material
specification to obtain the exact amount
ofmillundertolrances.

Forexample,ifthereisapressurevessel
with nominal shell thickness of 0.5 inch,
it needs a 6 SA 106 Gr.B nozzle to be
attachedtotheshellplate.
Assume that external loading is not a
design controlling factor (is not
governor), so as our minimum, nozzle
thickness will be the same as the shell
thickness.
So with a consideration of 12.5%, the
calculation will be: 0.5 / 0.875 = 0.571
inches. So when we refer to ASME
B36.10 and select our pipe schedule it
willbeSA106Gr.BSchedule160.

Inspection Tolerances for Formed
Head:
You may know that there is a specific
rule for dimensional checking of formed
heads, based the fact that the UG81
innersurfaceshallnotdeviateoutsideof
the specified shape more than 114% of

You can use sweep boards, which are
made by cutting a thin steel sheet or
piece of wood for checking your crown
andknuckleradius.
Foryourskirt,thedifferencebetweenthe

should not be more than 1%, and you

Limit for Outside of specified Shape =

Limit for Inside of specified Shape =

So we check the depth, and the drawing

Nozzle and attachment projection is the

Projection dimensions are addressed in
general

The
projection tolerances are not addressed
in ASME Code SEC VIII Div 1, but if you
refer to the pressure vessel handbook,
almost0.25ofaninchispermissible.

Inpracticalmeasurement,youmayusea
measuring tape to measure the distance
between the shell outside circumference
to the nozzle face. Then the measured

Nozzles
and
AttachmentsElevation:
Your Nozzles and attachments elevation
is the length between the nozzles or the
attachmentscenterlineandthebottomor
topheadtangentline.
The elevation dimension is addressed
directlyinthegeneralassemblydrawing.
The elevation tolerances are not
addressedinASMECodeSECVIIIDiv1,
but if you refer to the pressure vessel
handbook, almost 0.25 inch is
permissible.
In following figure, we need to check
Nozzle EB elevation. As you see in the
drawing,thedistancebetweenthenozzle

The nozzles and attachments levelness
tolerances are not addressed in ASME
CodeSECVIIIDiv1,butinthepressure
vessel handbook, a deflection is
permissible.
For levelness checking, a level gage is
used.Ifthebubbleisinthemiddleofthe

But if the bubble intersects the
designated limit lines, you need to run a
simple calculation and see if your

circumferential shell to hemispherical

The concept behind this is that the
longitudinal joint bears double the
amount of stress, and inspectors should
preciselycheckthesejoints.
