Pressure Vessel Lifting Lug Calculation

This document provides design specifications and stress analysis results for a lifting lug attachment on a spherical pressure vessel. Key details include: - The vessel has an outer diameter of 1466mm and wall thickness of 10mm. - The rectangular lifting lug attachment is 20mm long by 150mm wide and does not cut through the vessel shell. - Stress analysis found the maximum membrane stress of 27.29MPa and maximum combined membrane and bending stress of 274.51MPa, both within allowable limits. - The lifting lug attachment design meets all stress criteria according to the specified pressure vessel code.

Solid Attachment on a Spherical Shell per PD 5500 section G.2.4:


Resultant Moment (from ML and MC):
= Sqrt( ML + MC ) = Sqrt( 568805 + 568805 ) = 804411 N-mm
At the edge of the Solid Attachment
Rectangular Attachment
ro = Sqrt(Cx * Cy) = Sqrt(10.000 *75.000 ) = 27.3861 mm
Sphere effective Outside Diameter:
= Do + 2.tpad = 1466.000 + 2 * 0.000 = 1466.0000 mm
Effective Sphere Wall Thickness:
= t + tpad - c = 10.000 + 0.000 - 0.000 = 10.0000 mm
Shell Mean Radius r:
= (Do+tpad-t+c) / 2 = (1466.000 +0.000 -10.000 +0.000 ) / 2 = 728.0000 mm
Sphere Membrane Stress:
= p * r / ( 2t) = 0.000 * 728.000 / (2*10.000 ) = 0.000 MPa
Graph dimensionless values:
s = 1.82 * ro/Sqrt(r * t) = 1.82 * 27.386 / Sqrt(728.000 *10.000 ) = 0.5842
Note: s = u in our case
