A Simple Ca lcu la t ion And Draw ing Set
This is one of the simplest pressure vessel drawing andcalculation sets possible - the addition of a new nozzle to anexisting vessel - a tower in this case. The calculation set re-calculates the tower shell at the location of the nozzle andprovides the nozzle reinforcing calculations. Depending onthe condition of the vessel and the corrosion allowance, fieldthickness testing might be required to provide the wallthickness used in the calculations.
The Catc h
The catch with alterations to existing National Board registered vessels is that the National Board codemust be met as well as the ASME code. For this sample, the tower is assumed to be built to the ASME VIII-I pressure vessel code, 1992 edition, 1994 addenda and NB registered. The National Board code statesthat "all required design information, applicable drawings, design calculations, specifications andinstructions are to be prepared, obtained, controlled and interpreted to provide the basis for an alterationin accordance with the original code of construction" (AISI NB-23 2001 RC-3020 emphasis added).
This alteration is designed to the 2001 code rules, but the 1994 allowable material stress levels are used.The allowable stresses prior to 1999 were lower than the current levels. This calculation set uses theselower stress levels. The shell was recalculated to determine the minimum thicknesses required for thenozzle calculations. The nozzle was calculated using the standard area replacement calculations. No nozzleloads are calculated, so hangers are required to support the pipe from the nozzle.
The Sof tw are We Use a t PVEng
Three complete sets of calculations are shown here: calculations done in Advanced Pressure Vessel;PVElite; and our in house spreadsheets. We use these different methods to provide flexibility when solvingdifficult problems. For a real job we would only provide one set of calculations, preferably AdvancedPressure Vessel our favorite.
