๐ Calculation Methodology & ASME Standards
ASME UG-27 Shell Calculations
Calculates minimum thickness to resist circumferential hoop stress and longitudinal stress under internal pressure with corrosion allowance:
t = (P ยท R) / (S ยท E โ 0.6 P) + CA
Formed Heads Geometry (UG-32)
2:1 semi-ellipsoidal heads provide superior membrane stress distribution compared to torispherical flanged and dished heads.
Key Engineering Assumptions
- Thin-wall cylinder assumption ($t \le 0.5 R$ or $P \le 0.385 S E$).
- Weld joint efficiency $E$ based on radiography testing (UW-11 / UW-12).
- MAWP evaluated in the fully corroded condition.
