39.Pipe Cap Thickness Calculation

Dish head is a standard pipe cap and dimensions shall be as per ASME B16.9. As per UG-44, the pressure-
temperature rating shall be calculated as for straight seamless pipe in accordance with the rules of section VIII
Division 1.

Pipe cap size =DN 600( 24 NPS) Sch STD = Seamless pipe shell

Seamless pipe shell and pipe cap are having the same dimensions,. So required thickness calculated above
as per Appendix-1, Para 1-1(a) is a minimum for pipe cap

t = P Ro + C.A where E=0.85 & S=Allowable Stress for Pipe =118MPa

SE + 0.4P

t = (1.4 x 305) + 1.6

(118 x 0.85) +( 0.4 x 1.4)

= 4.237 + 1.6 = 5.837 mm

Min required thickness = 5.837 mm < Provided Minnimum Thickness 8.33 mm

39.Coupling Rating Selection Calculation

For N3 TO N6 DN 50-CLASS 3000 NPT coupling as per ASME B16.11 Ed 2005.

As per UG-44, for ASME B16.11 pipe fittings, the pressure temperature
rating shall be calculated as for seamless straight pipe; in accordance
with Appendix 1,Para 1-1(a) of CODE Section VIII Div1.

As per ASME B16.11-2005 Table 7, for DN 50 - CLASS 3000 NPT coupling,

Sch 160 to be used or pressure temperature rating.

P = Calculated Design Pressure = 1.4 MPa

Nozzle material = SA 105 M

S = Allowable Stress at design temperature @ 90 C = 137.9 MPa

CA = Corrosion Allowance = 1.6 mm

Outside Diameter of Straight Seamless DN 50 Sch 160 Pipe = 60.3 mm

Ro = Outside radius of Straight Seamless Pipe = 60.3 /2 = 30.15 mm

tn = Nominal thickness = 8.74 x 0.875 = 7.6475 mm
(Under Tolerance 12.5% as per Para 2.1.1 of ASME B16.11)

Corroded thickness, t = (7.6475 1.6) = 6.0475 mm

Thickness deduction due to thread undercut as per UG-31(c)(2)

DN 50 (2 NB , 8UN) i.e. n = 8 threads per inch.

Deducted thickness = 20 / n = 20/8 = 2.5 mm

Hence resultant thickness of coupling =6.0475-2.5 = 3.5475 mm

Joint Efficiency E = 1 (Seamless Pipe)

Using formula of Appendix-1, Para 1-1(a)

MAWP = S.E.t
(Ro 0.4 t)

MAWP = 137.9 x 1 x 3.5475 = 17.03 MPa > 1.4 MPa

(30.15 0.4 x 3.5475)

Also MAWP = 17.03 Mpa > MAWP of Vessel 1.4 MPa

So class 3000 coupling are found satisfactory
