External Pressure Rating Calculation for Pressure Vessels PPD 10104 and 10105

per ASME Section VIII, Division 1

See UG-28 Thickness of Shells and Tubes under External Pressure

P = External Design Pressure, psig 20 psig

Pa = calculated maximum external working pressure

Vessel PPD 10104 from U-1 Data Sheet

Shell Material SA 240 TP304
Do = outside diameter of Shell, in 9
ts = nominal cylinder Shell Thickness, in 0.075
Shell Length, in 32.12
L = shell length + 2 * 1/3 * head depth (assume head depth is 4 inches and use
all 4") 40.12

Do / t 120
Is Do / t Greater than or equal to 10? yes
ratio of L/ Do 4.458
Factor A from Figure G in Section II, Part D , Subpart 3 0.00025
Factor B from Figure HA-1 in Section II, Part D, Subpart 3 11,500
Pa = 4*Factor B / (3*(Do/t)) (psig external) 127.78 psig

Is Pa > P? Yes

Head Thickness, in 0.069

Head Crown radius, r (in) 9
Head Knuckle radius, in 0.56

Vessel PPD 10105 from U-1 Data Sheet

Shell Material SA 240 TP304

Do = outside diameter of Shell, in 9
ts = nominal cylinder Shell Thickness, in 0.075
Shell Length, in 14
L = shell length + 2 * 1/3 * head depth (assume head depth is 4 inches and use
all 4") 22

Do / t 120
Is Do / t Greater than or equal to 10? yes
ratio of L/ Do 2.444
Factor A from Figure G in Section II, Part D , Subpart 3 0.00064
Factor B from Figure HA-1 in Section II, Part D, Subpart 3 13,000
Pa = 4*Factor B / (3*(Do/t)) (psig external) 144.44 psig

Is Pa > P? Yes

See UG-33 for formed heads with pressure on Convex side

Head Thickness, in 0.069

Head Crown radius, r (in) 9
Head Knuckle radius, in 0.56

Do = outside diameter ofhte head skirt, inches 9

ho = 1/2 the length of the outside minor axis of the ellipsodal head or the
outside height of the head measured from tangent line. 3 estimated

Do / 2* ho = 1.5
Ko from table UG-33.1 for the above value of Do/(2*ho) 0.69
Ro = Ko * Do = 6.21
Value A = 0.125 / (Ro/t) 0.29172209
Factor B for value A calculated above and Figure HA-1 15,000
Pa = B / (Ro/t) 35007

Is Pa > P? Yes
