Once an ASME Stamped Pressure Vessel is manufactured, it is checked, tested and approved by the ASME Authorized Inspector, who review all the procedures and all documentation and sign the Data Report Form before the procedure to stamp the name plate with the “U” or “UM” symbols, which means that the Pressure Vessel fully complies with the ASME Code rules for construction of Pressure Vessels. The National Board of Boiler & Pressure Vessel Inspectors uses the “NB” Symbol as well the “R” Symbol to repair or to alter any previous Stamped Pressure Vessel. All material used in manufacture must be documented. All welders must be certified. Manufacturers have an Authorized Inspector, who is the judge of code acceptability. The quality of weld is then checked for lack of weld penetration, slag inclusion, overlap and excessive reinforcement. At the final inspection the units are hydrostatically tested at 1.5 times working pressure and observed for leaks. 1.4 – Imperial and Metric Values: Professionals and students should be well versed in conversion practice. Many US customary unit values presented in the ASME codes do not convert directly into metric values in the ASME editions. ©2012 Jurandir Primo

2.0 – ASME SECTION I & SECTION VIII – Fundamentals: The formulae in ASME Section I and Section VIII are used to determine the minimum required thickness and design pressure of piping, tubes, drums and headers using the Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP). However, Paragraph UG-31 states, that these formulae may be also used for calculating wall thickness of tubes and pipes under internal pressure. 2.1 – Design: The ASME Boiler Code Section I, as well as Section VIII, requires longitudinal and circumferential butt joints to be examined by full radiograph. When the vessel design is required fully radiographed longitudinal butt-welded joint, the cylindrical shell will have a joint efficiency factor (E = 1.0). This factor corresponds to a safety factor (or material quality factor) of 3.5 in the parent metal. When the vessel design is required non-radiographed longitudinal butt-welded joints the vessel will have a joint efficiency factor (E = 0.7, which corresponds to a safety factor of 0.5 in., resulting in an increase of 43% in the thickness of the plates. 2.2 – Pressure Vessels Maximum Allowable Stress Values: The maximum allowable stress values to be used in the calculation of the vessel’s wall thickness are given in the ASME Code for many different materials. These stress values are a function of temperature. Maximum Allowable Stress Value for Common Steels Material

Division 1: governs the design by Rules, is less stringent from the standpoint of certain design details and inspection procedures, and thus incorporates a higher safety factor of 4. For example, if a 60,000 psi tensile strength material is used, the Maximum Allowable Stress Value is 15,000 psi. Division 2: governs the design by Analysis and incorporates a lower safety factor of 3. Thus, the maximum allowable stress value for a 60,000 psi tensile strength material will become 20,000 psi. ©2012 Jurandir Primo

Many companies require that all their pressure vessels be constructed in accordance with Division 2 because of the more exacting standards. Others find that they can purchase less expensive vessels by allowing manufacturers the choice of either Division 1 or Division 2. Normally, manufacturers will choose Division 1 for low-pressure vessels and Division 2 for highpressure vessels. The maximum allowable stress values at normal temperature range for the steel plates most commonly used in the fabrication of pressure vessels are given in Table above. 3.0 – ASME SECTION I - POWER BOILERS: Types, Design, Fabrication, Inspection & Repair: Provides requirements for construction of power, electric, and miniature boilers; high temperature water boilers used in stationary service; and power boilers used in locomotive, portable, and traction service. Rules allow the use of the V, A, M, PP, S and E symbol stamps. The rules are applicable to boilers in which the steam is generated at pressures exceeding 15 psig, and high temperature water boilers for operation at pressures exceeding 160 psig and/or temperatures exceeding 250 °F. This code covers Power Boiler Superheaters, Economizers, and other pressure parts connected directly to the boiler without intervening valves are considered as part of the scope of Section 1. 3.1 – ASME SECTION I – Boiler Tubes up to and including 5 inches O.D. (125 mm): a) The minimum required thickness, according to ASME paragraph PG-27.2.1, use equation below:

b) To calculate the Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP):

Where: t = Minimum Design Wall Thickness (in) P = Design Pressure (psi) D = Tube Outside Diameter (in) e = Thickness Factor (0.04 for expanded tubes; 0 = for strength welded tubes) S = Maximum Allowable Stress According to ASME Section II, Table 1A Example 1 - Boiler Tube: Calculate the minimum required wall thickness of a water tube boiler 2.75 in O.D., strength welded (E, or, e = 0) into place in a boiler. The tube has an average wall temperature of 650°F. The Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) is 580 psi gauge. Material is carbon steel SA-192. Note: Before starting calculations check the correct stress table in ASME Section II, Table 1A: Consider SA-192 = 11,800 psi – allowable stress – Div. 1. ©2012 Jurandir Primo

Solution: For tubing up to and including 5 in O.D., use equation 1.1 above. P = [580 psi] D = [2.75 in] e = 0 (strength welded) S = [11,800 psi] at [650°F]) t=

2.75 x 580 2 (11,800) + 580

+ 0.005 (2.75) + 0

t = 0.079 in. Note: Where the manufacturing processes produce only standard plate thickness, so should be used 1/8 in (3.2 mm) minimum. 3.2 – ASME SECTION I – Piping, Drums, and Headers: The following formulae are found in ASME Section I, paragraph PG-27.2.2. The information for piping, drums, or headers may be given with either the inside I or outside D measurements. a) Using the outside diameter:

b) Using the inside radius:

Where: t = Minimum Design Wall Thickness (in) P = Design Pressure (psi) D = Tube Outside Diameter (in) R = Tube Radius (in) E = Tube Welding Factor (1.0 for seamless pipe; 0.85 = for welded pipe) y = Wall Thickness Welding Factor (0.4 for 900°F & lower; 0.7 for 950°F & up) C = Corrosion Allowance (0 for no corrosion; 0.0625 in. commonly used; 0.125 in. maximum) S = Maximum Allowable Stress According to ASME Section II, Table 1A ©2012 Jurandir Primo

Example 2 – Steam Piping: Calculate the required minimum thickness of a seamless steam piping at a pressure of 900 psi gauge and a temperature of 700°F. The piping is 10.77 in O.D., (10 inches nominal) plain end; the material is SA-335 – P1, alloy steel. Allow a manufacturer’s tolerance allowance of 12.5%. Note: Before starting calculations check the material stress table in ASME Section II, Table 1A: SA-335 – P1 = 13,800 psi – allowable stress – Div.1. Use equation 2.1:

P = [900 psi] D = [10.77 in] C=0 S = [13,800] – (SA-335 – P1 alloy steel at 700°F) E = 1.0 y = 0.4 (Ferritic steel less than 900°F) t=

900 x 10.77………. + 0 = 2(13,800)(1.0) + 2(0.4)(900)

t = 0.34 in. Therefore, including a manufacturer’s allowance of 12.5%; - 0.34 × 1.125 = 0.38 in. Example 3 – Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP): Calculate the Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) for a seamless steel pipe of material SA209-T1. The outside pipe diameter is 12.75 in. (nominal diam. 12 in.) with a wall thickness of 0.46 in. The operating temperature is 850°F. The pipe is plain ended. D = 12.75 in (outside diameter) t = 0.46 in C = 0 (3 to 4 inches nominal and larger) S = 13,100 psi (Section II, Table 1A, Div.1, SA-209-T1 at 850°F) E = 1.0 (seamless pipe as per PG-9.1) y = 0.4 (austenitic steel at 850°F) Use equation 2.2: P=

2SE (t – C) = D – (2y) (t – C)

P = 2 (13,100) (1.0) x (0.46 – 0) = 12.75 – (2 x 0.4) (0.46 – 0) P = 26,200 x 0.46 = 12.75 – 0.368 P = 973 psi ©2012 Jurandir Primo

Example 4 – Welded Tube Boiler Drum: A welded water tube boiler drum of SA-515-60 material is fabricated to an inside radius of 18.70 in. on the tube sheet and 19.68 in on the drum. The plate thickness of the tube sheet and drum are 2.34 in. and 1.49 in., respectively. The longitudinal joint efficiency is 100%, and the ligament efficiencies are 56% horizontal and 30% circumferential. The operating temperature is not to exceed 500°F. Determine the Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) based on: Welded Water Tube Boiler Drum: DRUM & TUBESHEET

Note: This is a common example of a water tube drum fabricated from two plates of different thickness. Thicker material is required where the boiler tubes enter the drum than is required for a plain drum. This example has two parts: c) The drum – consider the drum to be plain with no penetrations. d) The tube sheet – consider the drum to have penetrations for boiler tubes. (a) Drum. Use equation 2.4 (inside radius R):

Where: S = 15,000 psi (Section II, Table 1A, Div.1, SA-515-60 at 500°F) E = 1.0 t = 1.49 in C=0 R = 19.68 in y = 0.4 (ferritic steel less than 900°F) Drum – P = (15,000) (1.0) (1.49 – 0).. = 19.68 + (1 – 0.4) (1.49 – 0) Drum – P = 15,000 x 1.49 19.68 + 0.894 Drum – P = 1,086 psi (b) Tube Sheet.

The formulae and allowable stresses presented in this sketch are only for Division 1, the main code. It contains mandatory and non-mandatory appendices detailing supplementary design criteria, nondestructive examination and inspection acceptance standards. Rules pertaining to the use of the U, UM and UV Code symbol stamps are also included. 4.1 – SECTION VIII - Thin Cylindrical Shells: The formulae in ASME Section VIII, Division 1, paragraph UG-27, used for calculating the wall thickness and design pressure of pressure vessels, are: a) Circumferential Stress (longitudinal welds): When, P < 0.385SE:

Example 5 – Thin Cylindrical Shells: A vertical boiler is constructed of SA-515-60 according to Section VIII-1. It has an internal diameter of 96 in. and an internal design pressure of 1,000 psi at 450 F°. The corrosion allowance is 0.125 in., and joint efficiency is E = 0.85. Calculate the required thickness of the shell. (Consider SA-515-60 = 15,000 psi – allowable stress, ASME Section II, Table 1A, Div.1). (Since P < 0.385SE (6,545 psi) as 1,000 psi < 6,545 psi, use equation 1.3): t=

PR… + C SE – 0.6P

Considering the internal radius = (48 in.) and corrosion allowance = 0.125 in. t=

1,000 x 48 …………. + 0.125 = 2(15,000)(0.85) – 0.6(1,000)

t = 2.052 in. 4.2 – SECTION VIII - Thick Cylindrical Shells: For internal pressures higher than 3,000 psi, special considerations as specified in paragraph U-1 (d). As the ratio of t/R increases beyond 0.5, an accurate equation is required to determine the thickness. The formulae in ASME Appendix 1, Supplementary Design Formulas used for calculating thick wall and design pressure, are: a) For longitudinal welds: When, P > 0.385SE:

Assume a corrosion allowance of 0.125 in. For P > 0.385SE (7,700 psi) as 10,000 psi > 7,700 psi, use equation 1.7: t = R (Z

Example 7 – Thick Cylindrical Shells: b) When P < 0.385SE: Calculate the required shell thickness of an accumulator with P = 7,650 psi, R = 18 in, S = 20,000 psi, and E = 1.0. Assume corrosion allowance = 0. For P< 0.385SE (7,700 psi) as 7,650 psi < 7,700 psi, use equation 1.3: t=

PR… + C SE – 0.6P

t=

7,650 x 18………… + 0 (20,000)(1.0) – 0.6(7,650)

t = 8.9 in. Example 8 – Comparison between Equation 1.3 and Equation 1.7: Calculate the shell thickness, comparing the equation 1.3 with another answer using equation 1.7. t = R (Z

Where: t(min)= Minimum wall thickness required (in) P = Design pressure (psig) D = Outside diameter of pipe (in) S = Allowable stress in pipe material (psi) E = Longitudinal joint factor - E = 1.0 for seamless pipe, E = 0.85 for ERW pipe C = Corrosion allowance, typically 0.05 in. y = Wall thickness coefficient in ASME Table 304.1.1 for ferritic steels, is: y = 0.4 for T P = 11305 psi > 100 psi, use equation 2.1. The inside radius in a corroded condition is equal to, R = 48 + 0.125 = 48.125 in. t=

t=

PR = 2SE – 0.2P 100 x 48.125 = 2(20,000) (0.85) – 0.2(100)

t = 0.14 in. Example 12.1 - Thin Spherical or Hemispherical Head: A spherical pressure vessel with an internal diameter of 120 in has a head thickness of 1 in. Determine the design pressure if the allowable stress is 16,300 psi. Assume joint efficiency E = 0.85. No corrosion allowance is stated to the design pressure. Solution: Since t < 0.356R use equation 2.2. P=

2SEt = R + 0.2t

P = 2(16,300)(0.85)(1) = 60 + 0.2(1) P = 460 psi The calculated pressure 460 psi is < 0.665SE (9213 psi); therefore, equation 2.2 is acceptable. a) When t > 0.356R or P > 0.665SE – (Thick Spherical or Hemispherical Heads): ©2012 Jurandir Primo

Example 13 - Thick Hemispherical Head: Calculate the required hemispherical head thickness of an accumulator with P = 10,000 psi, R = 18.0 in, S = 15,000 psi, and E = 1.0. Corrosion allowance is 0.125 in. Solution: As 0.665SE < P = 9975 psi < 10,000 psi, use equation 2.3.

Y = 2 [(15,000)(1.0) + 10,000] = 2 [(15,000)(1.0)] – 10,000 Y = 50,000 = 2.5 20,000 t = R (Y1/3 – 1) = 18.0 (2.51/3 – 1) + 0,125 = 6.554 in. 6.2 – Elliptical or Ellipsoidal Heads - Semi-Elliptical or Semi-Ellipsoidal Heads – 2:1: The commonly used semi-ellipsoidal head has a ratio of base radius to depth of 2:1 (shown below). The actual shape can be approximated by a spherical radius of 0.9D and a knuckle radius of 0.17D. The required thickness of 2:1 heads with pressure on the concave side is given below:

b) Maximum Pressure: P = 2SEt = D + 0.2t P = 2(20,000)(0.85)(0.116) = 18 + 0.2 (0.116) P = 219 psi. Note: Ellipsoidal heads and all torispherical heads having materials with minimum tensile strength > 80,000 psi shall be designed using a value of S = 20,000 psi at room temperature (see UG-23). 6.3 - Torispherical Heads: Shallow heads, commonly referred to as flanged and dished heads (F&D heads), are according to paragraph UG-32 (e), with a spherical radius L of 1.0D and a knuckle radius r of 0.06D. a) Flanged & Dished Head (F&D heads): The dish radius of a Flanged and Dished Head is 1.0 D and the knuckle radius is 0.06% D. The required thickness of a Torispherical F&D Head with r/L = 0.06 and L = Di, is:

Where: P = Pressure on the concave side of the head S = Allowable stress t = Thickness of the head L = Inside spherical radius E = Joint efficiency factor Example 15 - Torispherical Heads: A drum is to operate at 500°F and 350 psi and to hold 5000 gallons of water. The inside radius of the Dished Torispherical Heads is 78 in. The material is SA 285 Grade A. Assume “S” = 11,200 psi and “E” = 0.85. Solution: Dished Torispherical Heads with L = Di and r/L = 0.06, use equation 2.7. t = 0.885 PL = SE – 0.1P t=

b) Non Standard 80-10 Flanged & Dished Head: On an 80-10 the inside radius (L) is 0.8 Di and the knuckle radius (ri) is 10% of the head diameter. For the required thickness of a Non Standard 80-10 Head, use equations 2.7 and 2.8. Designing 80-10 Torispherical Heads rather than standard shapes can be achieved by lowering the material costs. The 80-10 is typically only 66% the thickness of the standard Torispherical Heads.

6.4 – Conical or Toriconical Heads: The required thickness of the Conical or Toriconical Head (knuckle radius > 6% OD) shall be determined by formula using internal diameter of shell, α ≤ 30º.

11.0 – ASME SECTION VIII – UG-99 – Hydrostatic Pressure Tests: As per ASME Section VIII-1, UG-99, the pressure vessels designed for internal pressure shall be subjected to a hydrostatic test pressure which at every point in the vessel is at least equal to 1.3 times the MAWP multiplied by the lowest ratio for the materials of which the vessel is constructed of the stress value S for the test temperature on the vessel to the stress value S for the design temperature. Ph = 1.3 MAWP x (S at test temp. / S at design temp.), Where: Ph = Hydrostatic Test Pressure; MAWP = Maximum Allowable Working Pressure. And as per UG-100, a pneumatic test (with at least equal to 1.1 times the MAWP multiplied by the lowest ratio for the materials of which the vessel is constructed of the stress value S for the test temperature on the vessel to the stress value S for the design temperature) may be used in lieu of the standard hydrostatic test prescribed in UG-99 for vessels under certain conditions:  Designed and/or supported that they cannot safely be filled with water;  Not readily dried, to be used in services where traces of the testing liquid cannot be tolerated and the parts of which have, where possible, been previously tested by hydrostatic pressure to the pressure required in UG-99. Pn = 1.1 MAWP x (S at test temp. / S at design temp.), Where: Pn = Pneumatic Test Pressure. 12.0 - ASME Section VIII - Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels The section of the ASME BPVC consists of 3 divisions. Division 1 This division covers the mandatory requirements, specific prohibitions and non-mandatory guidance for materials, design, fabrication, inspection and testing, markings and reports, overpressure protection and certification of pressure vessels having an internal or external pressure which exceeds 15 psi (100 kPa). The pressure vessel can be either fired or unfired. The pressure may be from external sources, or by the application of heating from an indirect or direct source, or any combination thereof.

The rules contained in this section can be used as an alternative to the minimum requirements specified in Division 1. Generally the Division 2 rules are more onerous than in Division 1 with respect to materials, design and nondestructive examinations but higher design stress intensity values are allowed. Division 2 has also provisions for the use of finite element analysis to determine expected stress in pressure equipment, in addition to the traditional approach of design by formula (Part 5: "Design by Analysis requirements"). Division 3 - Alternative Rules for Construction of High Pressure Vessels: This division covers the mandatory requirements, specific prohibitions and non-mandatory guidance for materials, design, fabrication, inspection and testing, markings and reports, overpressure protection and certification of pressure vessels having an internal or external pressure which exceeds 10,000 psi (70,000 kPa). The pressure vessel can be either fired or unfired. The pressure may be from external sources, by the application of heating from an indirect or direct source, process reaction or any combination thereof.
