Figure i.1, An overall view of the vacuum vessel weldment of 1.3 MHz,
=1,Cryomodulue
Reference drawing: ME 443027
Overall length = 448.23 in
Wws = 7,745 lbs. the weight of the vessel shell weldment.
Assuming the vessel shell is operating under the room temperature.
Vessel shell material: SA 516-60
Materials for flanges, ports and nozzles: see respective notes and drawings.

1. Calculation for the Vacuum Vessel Cylindrical Shell Thickness


The Vacuum Vessel Cylindrical Shell:
Given:
P: 14.7 psi, the external design pressure,
Do: 38.00 in, outside diameter of the vessel shell
Di: 37.25 in, inside diameter of the vessel shell
tn: The nominal vessel shell thickness.
Fa: 15,000 psi, the max. allowable stress of the shell material at the operating temp,
also know as Sv. (See Page 1-1).
Vessel shell material: SA 516-60, carbon steel, see dwg. ME-443054
Lv: Design length of the vessel between lines of the support.
M.A: Material corrosion and other misc. allowance, ~ 1/16
Assuming:
Lv = 228.30 in (per drawing ME-443027-01)
Find out the required vessel shell thickness tn:
1. Try tn = 0.375
Lv/Do = 228.30 / 38.00 = 6.0079
Do/tn = 38.00 / 0.375 = 101.3333
Per section UG-28, also Fig. G and Fig. CS-2 in Subpart 3 of Section II, part D,
ASME VIII, Div. 1:
It is found out that:
A = 0.0002
B = 2850
Then:
Pa = (4B) / (3Do/tn)
= (4 x 2850) (3 x 101.3333)
= 37.50 psi
where:
Pa : The max. allowable external working pressure, psi
A: Factor determined from Fig. G
B: Factor determined from the applicable material chert in Fig. CS-2.
2.

Try tr2 = 0.25


Lv/Do = 6.053
Do/tr2 = 38/0.25 = 152
Find:
A 0.000115
Since the value of A falling to the left of the applicable material/temperature
curve, so:

Pa2 = (2AE/3(Do/tr2)) = 15.13 psi


So, tr = 0.250
So the vessel shell thickness is required 0.25, using 3/8 as vessel shell thickness is
above the shell thickness required and it is satisfactory.

2. The Permissible Out of Roundness of the Vessel Cylindrical Shell


Given:
P: 14.7 psi, the external design pressure,
Do: 38.00 in, outside diameter of the vessel shell
Di: 37.25 in, inside diameter of the vessel shell
tn: 0.375, the nominal vessel shell thickness.
Fa: 15,000 psi, the max. allowable stress of the shell material at the operating temp,
also know as Sv. (See Page 1-1).
Vessel shell material: SA 516-60, carbon steel, see dwg. ME-443054
Lv: ~230, design length of the vessel between lines of the support.
The difference between the max. dia and the mini. dia. of the vessel shell at any cross
section shall not exceed:
0.1 x 38 in = 0.38 in
(per section UG-80 (b)(1) of ASME VIII, Div.1)
Per section UG-80(b)(2) and figure UG-80 of ASME VIII, Div.1, it is found out that
the maximum plus or minus deviation from the true circular form, measured radially on
the outside or inside of the cylindrical vessel shall not exceed the maximum permissible
deviation e:
e 0.85t
= 0.85 x 0.375 in
= 0.319 in
where:
Do / t = 101
Lv / Do = 6.052
Per Figure UG-29.2, section UG-29 of ASME VIII, Div.1, it is found out that:
Arc length 0.36 Do
= 0.36 x 38 in
= 13.68 in
Chord length = 2 x Arc length
= 2 x 13.68 in
= 27.36 in
So, in a chord length of 27.36 in, the maximum plus or minus deviation from the true
circle form shall not exceed 0.32 in.

3.

Analysis and Calculation for the Stffening Rings

3.1 To Define the Stiffening Ring for the Vessel Shell Under the External Pressure
and the Calculations of the Weld
Reference drawings: ME-443027
Given:
E = 29 x 106 psi, Modules of elasticity of the stiffening materials
le = 1.1 (Dot)0.5 = 1.1 (38 x 0.375)0.5
= 4.152, the effective regional length of the vessel shell
Fy: 38 ksi, min. yield stress of the stiffening material SA516-70 under the operating
temperature.
To find the required moment of inertia of the combined stiffening ring shell cross
section about the neutral axis parallel to the axial of the shell, in4, Is:
Is = [Do2Ls(t + As/Ls)A] / 10.9
(per UG-29, ASME VIII, Div.1)

(eq. 3-1)

Where:
As: Cross-sectional area of the stiffening area, in2
= 1.50 in2, see figure 1.
Ls: Distance between the stiffening ring and support, ~230.0 in
( See drawing ME-443027)
B: Factor determined from the applicable chart,
= 0.75 [PDo (t + As/Ls)]
= 0.75 [14.7 psi x 38 in (0.375 in + 1.50 in2/230 in)]
= 1098
Per figure CS-2 in Subpart 3 of section II, Part D, where B = 1098 falling below the left
end of the material/temperature curve, so:
A = 2B/E
= 2 x 1098 / (30 x 106)
= 0.0000732
(per step 5 of UG-29, ASME VIII, Div. 1)
Then the Eq. 3-1 becomes:
Is = {[382 x 230 x (0.375 + 1.50/230) x 0.0000732] / 10.9}in4
= 0.851 in4
To find the combined moment of inertia of the cross section area of the stiffening ring and
shell

10

Figure 3.1 is the cross-section view of the stiffening ring with the vessel shell, also refer
to view S-S of drawing ME-443027, MC-443052

Figure 3.1, Cross-section view of the vessel shell with the stiffening rings
It is found that from the figure 3.1:
A1 = 4.152 in x 0.375 in = 1.557 in2
A2 = 0.5 in x 3.0 in = 1.500 in2
y1 = 0.1875 in
y2 = 1.8125 in
y = (A1y1 + A2y2) (A1 + A2)
= 0.9848 in
dy12 = (y y1)2 = 0.6357 in2
dy22 = (y y2)2 = 0.6851 in2
I1 = 0.0182 in4
I2 = 1.125 in4
I = Ii + Aidyi2
= 3.1507 in4 > I= 0.851 in4
Since the requirement moment of inertia I is less than the value of I provided by the
combined moment inertia of stiffening ring and vessel shell, so the stiffening ring design
is satisfactory and it can be treated as a support of the vessel.
Calculations of the attachment welds of the stiffening ring:
Per UG-30(e), ASME VIII, Div. 1:
Radial pressure load PLs = 14.7 psi x 230 in
11

= 3381 lb/in
Radial shear load V = 0.01 PLsDo = 0.01 x 14.7 psi x 230 in x 38 in
= 1,285 lb
Weld shear flow due to radial shear load: VQ/I
where Q is the first moment of area, per figure 3.1,
Q = 4.152 x 0.375 (0.9848 0.375/2)
= 1.24 in3
VQ/I = 1,285 lb x 1.24 in3/ 3.1507 in4
= 505.73 lb/in
The combined weld load (required)
Pr = (3,3812 + 5062)1/2 lb/in
= 3,419 lb/in
The calculated welding load from the ring welds:
The most weaker material is the shell:
Sv = 15 ksi (SA 516-60)
The allowable fillet weld stress:
Faf = 0.55Sv = 0.55 x 15,000 psi
= 8,250 psi (per UW-18(d), ASME VIII, Div.1)
The minimum fillet weld leg size is: 0.25 for the attachment.
(per UG-30(f), ASME VIII, Div.1)
Since there is weld on both sides of the ring (see view S-S, ME-443027)
The allowable load from the weld is:
Paw = 2 x 0.25 in x 8,250 psi
= 4,125 lb/in > Pr = 3,419 lb/in
So the min. fillet size of 0.25 is acceptable for the current stiffening ring design.

12

3.2 To Define the Downstream End Flange as the Stiffening Ring for the Vessel
Shell Under the External Pressure
Reference drawings: ME-443027, MD-443039
Givien:
E = 30 x 106 psi, Modules of elasticity of the flange materials
le = 1.1 (Dot)0.5 = 1.1 (38 x 0.375)0.5
= 4.152, the effective regional length of the vessel shell
Fy: 25 ksi, min. yield stress of the stiffening material A182-F304L under the
operating temperature.

Figure 3.2, The cross-section view of the end flange with the vessel shell, also refer to
detail L of drawing ME-443027, and drawing MD-443039..
To find the required moment of inertia of the combined end flange shell cross section
about the neutral axis parallel to the axia of the shell, in4, Is:
Is = [Do2Ls(t + As/Ls)A] / 10.9
(per UG-29, ASME VIII, Div.1)

(eq. 3-2)

Where:
Asd: Cross-sectional area of the downstream end flange stiffening area, in2
= (1.18 x 2.26) in2 = 2.6668 in2, see figure 3.2

13

Lsd: Distance between the stiffening ring and downstream end flange, ~230.0 in
( See drawing ME-443027)
B: Factor determined from the applicable chart,
= 0.75 [PDo (t + As/Ls)]
= 0.75 [14.7 psi x 38 in (0.375 in + 2.6668 in2/230 in)]
= 1084
Per figure CS-2 in Subpart 3 of section II, Part D, where B = 1084 falling below the left
end of the material/temperature curve, so:
A = 2B/E
= 2 x 1084 / (30 x 106)
= 0.0000723
(per step 5 of UG-29, ASME VIII, Div. 1)
Then the eq.3-2 becomes:
Is = {[382 x 230 x (0.375 + 2.6668/230) x 0.0000723] / 10.9}in4
= ((332,120 x 0.3866 x 0.0000723) /10.9) in4
= 0.852 in4
To find the combined moment of inertia of the cross section area of the stiffening ring
and shell
It is found that from the figure 3.2:
A1 = 2.67 in x 0.375 in = 1.001 in2
A2 = 1.18 in x 2.26 in = 2.6668 in2
y1 = 0.1875 in
y2 = 1.505 in
y = (A1y1 + A2y2) (A1 + A2)
= 1.1454 in
dy12 = (y y1)2 = 0.9176 in2
dy22 = (y y2)2 = 0.1293 in2
I1 = 0.0117 in4
I2 = 1.1351 in4
I = Ii + Aidyi2
= (1.1468 + 1.2633) in4
= 2.4101 in4 > I= 0.852 in4
Since the requirement moment of inertia I is less than the value of I provided by the
combined moment inertia of the end flange(downstream) and vessel shell, so the
downstream end flange is satisfactory and it can be treated as a support of the vessel.

14

3.3 To Define the Upstream End Flange as the Stiffening Ring for the Vessel Shell
Under the External Pressure
Reference drawings: Detail M of drawing ME-443027-2,
MD- 443040
Lsu: Distance between the stiffening ring and upstream end flange, ~ 45.0 in
(See figure 4-4.3 of Page 32)
Asu: 0.5 (45.67 - 38.12) x 1.57 in2 = 5.927 in2
Since Lsu < Lsd; Asu > Asd
From the calculation steps of section 3.2, we can conclude that the requirement moment
of inertia I is less than the value of I provided by the combined moment inertia of the
end flange(upstream) and vessel shell, so the upstream end flange is satisfactory and it
can be treated as a support of the vessel.

Calculations and Analysis for the Vessel Shell Openings

4.1 Calculations for the Opening of Coldmass Port for the Reinforcement and
Weld Size
The main vessel shell:
P: 14.7 psi, external design pressure
Do: 38.00 in, outside dia. Of the vessel shell.
Di: 37.25, inside dia. of the vessel shell.
t: 0.375 in, the nominal pipe wall thickness.
Fa: 15,000 psi, the max. allowable stress of the shell material at the operating temp,
also know as Sv. at the operating temp., -200 F to 1000 F (per Table 1A, part D,
Section II, ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code 1995 edition).
Vessel shell material: SA 516, grade 60, carbon steel (see ME-443054)
Lv: Design length of the vessel section between lines of support (see Page UG-28(b)),
230
Find out the required vessel shell thickness tr:
Try tr1 = 0.375
Lv/Do = 230/38 = 6.053
Do/tr = 38/0.375 = 101.333
From section UG-28, also Fig. G & Fig. CS-2 in Subpart 3 of section II, part D,
ASME VIII, Div I:
Find:
A = 0.0002
B = 2850
Pa1= (4B)/(3(Do/tr)) = 37.50 psi
where:
A: Factor determined from Fig. G.
B: Factor determined from applicable material chart in Fig. CS-2
Pa: Max. allowable external working pressure, psi
3. Try tr2 = 0.25
Lv/Do = 6.053
Do/tr2 = 38/0.25 = 152
Find:
A 0.000115
Since the value of A falling to the left of the applicable material/temperature
curve, so:
Pa2 = (2AE/3(Do/tr2)) = 15.13 psi

16

So, tr = 0.250
The coldmass port:
do: 25.197, outside dia. of the port.
Di: 15.512, inside dia . of the port.
tn: 4.842, wall thickness of the port.
trn: required thickness of the port.
L: length of projection defining the thickness portion of integral reinforcement of the
port beyond the outside surface of the vessel wall.
E: 29 x 106 psi, modulus of elasticity of the material at the operating temp.
Material: SA 182- 304L stainless steel pipe, Fa = Sn = 16,700 psi at the operating
temp., -200 F to 1000 F (per Table 1A, part D, Section II, ASME Boiler &
Pressure Vessel Code 1995 edition).
Reference drawings: MD-443049, MD-443050, ME-443027, and also as shown from
figure 4.1.

Figure 4.1, 3D view of the coldmass port and the vessel shell
Find out the thickness required:

17

1. Assuming L1 = 6.64 in, tr1 = 0.375 in, then:


L1/do = 6.64/25.197 = 0.2635
do/tr1 = 25.197/0.375 = 67
From Fig. G and Fig. HA-3 of subpart 3 of Sect. II, part D:
A = 0.013
B = 13300
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr1)) = (4 x 13300)/(3 x 67) = 264 psi > P
2. Try: L2 = 6.64 in, tr2 = 0.0625 in
L2/do = 0.2635
do/tr2 = 403
get:
A = 0.00073
B = 8000
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 8000)/(3 x 403) = 26.47 psi > P
3. Try: L3 = 6.64 in, tr3 = 0.046 in
L3/do = 0.2635
do/tr3 = 25.197/0.046 = 548
get:
A = 0.000445
B = 6100
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 6100)/(3 x 548) = 14.84 psi P
So: trn = tr3 = 0.046 in
Size of the weld required:
Per UG-37, UW-16 and Fig. UW-16.1(p) of ASME VIII, Div.1.
to: the throat dimension of the outer attachment weld, =0.5 tmin.
ti: the throat dimension of the inside of the shell cutout, 0.7tmin
to = 0.5 tmin = 0.5 x 0.375 = 0.1875, so the fillet leg size is 0.27
ti = 0.7 tmin = 0.7 x 0.375 =0.26, so the fillet leg size is 0.37
Area of the reinforcement required Ar:
Per section UG-37(d)(1):
Ar = 0.5(dtrF + 2tntrF(1-fr1)
= 0.5 x (16.299 x 0.25 x 1.0 +2 x 4.842 x 0.25 x 1.0 x 0)

18

= 2.0374 in2
Where:
d: Finished diameter of circle opening, see Fig. UG-37.1 of UG-37.
D = 16.299 in (per drawing ME-443054)
F: Correction factor
fr : Strength reduction factor, not greater than 1.0
fr1 =1.0 for nozzle wall abutting the vessel wall as shown in figure UG-40(j),
(k), (n) and (o).
fr2 = Sn / Sv
Area of reinforcement available Aa:
A1: Larger of the following calculated value: (area available in shell):
= d(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)
= 16.299 x (1 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.25) 0
= 2.0374 in2
or

= 2(t + tn)(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)


= 2 (0.375 + 4.842) x (1.0 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.25) 0
= 1.30425 in2
So pick A1 = 2.0374 in2
A2: Smaller of the following:
= 5 (tn-trn)tfr2
= 5 x (4.842 in 0.046 in) x 0.375 in x 1.0
= 8.9925 in2
or

= 5 (tn-trn) fr2tn
= 5 x (4.842 in 0.046 in) x 1.0 x 4.842 in
= 116.11 in2
So pick A2 = 8.9925 in2
A3: Area available in inward nozzle, use the smallest value:
Since there is no inward nozzle
So pick A3 = 0.0 in2
A41: Outward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.272 in2 x 1.0
=0.0729 in2
A43: Inward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.372 in2 x 1.0
= 0.1369 in2

19

Then:
Aa = A1 + A2 + A3 + A41 + A43
= (2.0374 + 8.9925 + 0 + 0.0729 + 0.1369) in2
= 11.2397 in2 > Ar = 2.0374 in2
Per Fig. UG-37.1, section UG-37, the opening is adequately reinforced under the
current designated boundary conditions.
The analysis and conclusion should be also true for openings of #2 (have 2 openings @
both ends, see drawing ME-443027), this is because: the value of Lv for #2 opening is
equal or smaller than the value for #3 opening, the smaller value of Lv will lead to smaller
value of tr, accordingly, it will lead to the smaller value of Ar.

4.2 Calculations for the Opening of MC Port (#9) for the Reinforcement and
Weld Size
The main vessel shell:
From section 4.1, it is found that tr = 0.250
The MC port:
do: 11.339, outside dia. of the port.
Di: 10.945, inside dia . of the port.
tn: 0.197, wall thickness of the port.
trn: required thickness of the port.
L: length of projection defining the thickness portion of integral reinforcement of the
port beyond the outside surface of the vessel wall.
E: 30 x 106 psi, modulus of elasticity of the material at the opening temp.
Material: SA 249-TP304L stainless steel pipe, Fa = Sn = 14,200 psi at the operating
temp., -200 F to 1000 F (per Table 1A, part D, Section II, ASME Boiler &
Pressure Vessel Code 1995 edition).
Reference drawings: ME-443027, and also as shown from figure 4.2.

Find out the wall thickness required:


1. Assuming L1 = 8.54 in, tr1 = 0.125 in, then:
L1/do = 8.54/11.339 =0.7532
do/tr1 = 11.339/0.125 = 91
From Fig. G and Fig. HA-3 of subpart 3 of Sect. II, part D:
A = 0.00225
B = 10500
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr1)) = (4 x 10500)/(3 x 91) = 153 psi > P
2. Try: L2 = 8.54 in, tr2 = 0.0625 in
L2/do = 0.7532
do/tr2 = 181
get:
A = 0.00075
B = 8050
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 8050)/(3 x 181) = 59.3 psi > P
Try: L3 = 8.54 in, tr3 = 0.033 in
L2/do = 0.7532
do/tr3 = 344
get:
A = 0.000280
B = 3950
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 3950)/(3 x 344) = 15.31 psi P
So: trn = tr3 = 0.033 in
Size of the weld required:
Per UG-37, UW-16 and Fig. UW-16.1 of ASME VIII, Div.1.
tmin: 0.197
tc: 0.7tmin = 0.138, so the fillet leg size is 0.195
Full penetration weld plus the fillet weld tc.
Area of the reinforcement required Ar:
Per section UG-37(d)(1):

22

Ar = 0.5(dtrF + 2tntrF(1-fr1)
= 0.5 x (11.339 x 0.25 x 1.0 +2 x 0.197 x 0.25 x 1.0 x 0.053)
= 1.4226 in2
Where:
d: Finished diameter of circle opening, see Fig. UG-37.1 of UG-37.
D = 11.339 in (per drawing ME-443054)
F: Correction factor
fr : Strength reduction factor, not greater than 1.0
fr1 = Sn / Sv for nozzle wall inserted through the vessel wall
fr2 = Sn / Sv = 14.2 / 15 =0.947
Area of reinforcement available Aa:
A1: Larger of the following calculated value: (area available in shell):
= d(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)
= 11.339 x (1 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.25) 2 x 0.197 (1.0 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.25) x
0.053
= (1.4174 0.0026) in2
= 1.4148 in2
or

= 2(t + tn)(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)


= 2 (0.375 + 0.197) x (1.0 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.25) 2 x 0.197 (1.0 x 0.375 1.0 x
0.25) x 0.053
= (0.143 0.0026) in2
= 0.1405 in2
So pick A1 = 1.4148 in2
A2: Smaller of the following:
= 5 (tn-trn)tfr2
= 5 x (0.197 in 0.033 in) x 0.375 in x 0.947
= 0.2912 in2
or

= 5 (tn-trn) fr2tn
= 5 x (0.197 in 0.033 in) x 0.947 x 0.197 in
= 0.153 in2
So pick A2 = 0.153 in2
A3: Area available in inward nozzle, use the smallest value:
Since there is no inward nozzle
So pick A3 = 0.0 in2
A41: Outward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.1952 in2 x 0.947
=0.036 in2

23

A43: Inward nozzle weld


= leg2 fr2
= 0.02 in2 x 1.0
= 0.0 in2
Then:
Aa = A1 + A2 + A3 + A41 + A43
= (1.4148 + 0.153 + 0 + 0.036 + 0.0) in2
= 1.6038 in2 > Ar = 1.4226 in2
Per Fig. UG-37.1, section UG-37, the opening is adequately reinforced under the
current designated boundary conditions.
The analysis and conclusion should be true for all 8 openings (#9 openings, see drawing
ME-443027 & ME-443054). Any issue related the multiple openings will discuss in
different section.

Calculations for the Opening of Instrumentation Port (#10 opening)


for the Reinforcement and Weld Size

The main shell (Tube #9)


From section 4.2, it is found that: tr = 0.033 in
The instrumentation port:
do: 3.50, outside dia. of the port.
Di: 3.334, inside dia . of the port.
tn: 0.083, wall thickness of the port.
trn: required thickness of the port.
L: length of projection defining the thickness portion of integral reinforcement of the
port beyond the outside surface of the vessel wall.
E: 30 x 106 psi, modulus of elasticity of the material at the opening temp.
Material: SA 249-TP304L stainless steel pipe, Fa = Sn = 14,200 psi at the operating
temp., -200 F to 1000 F (per Table 1A, part D, Section II, ASME Boiler &
Pressure Vessel Code 1995 edition).
Reference drawings: section G-G, ME-443027, and also as shown from figure 4.2.
Find out the wall thickness requires:
Assuming L1 = 2.0075 in, tr1 = 0.083 in, then:
where: L1 = 7.48 (11.339/2 0.197) = 2.0075
L1/do = 2.0075/3.50 =0.5736
do/tr1 = 3.50/0.083 = 42
From Fig. G and Fig. HA-3 of subpart 3 of Sect. II, part D:
A = 0.009
B = 13200
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr1)) = (4 x 13200)/(3 x 42) = 419 psi > P
Try: L2 = 2.0075 in, tr2 = 0.015625 in
L2/do = 0.5736
do/tr2 = 224
get:
A = 0.0007
B = 8000
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 8000)/(3 x 224) = 47.62 psi > P
Try: L3 = 2.0075 in, tr3 = 0.0094 in

25

L3/do = 0.5732
do/tr3 = 372
get:
A = 0.0003
B = 4250
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 4250)/(3 x 372) = 15.23 psi P
So: trn = tr3 = 0.0094 in
Size of the weld required:
Per UG-37, UW-16 and Fig. UW-16.1 of ASME VIII, Div.1.
tmin: 0.083
tc:
0.7tmin = 0.056, so the fillet leg size is 0.08
Full penetration weld plus the fillet weld tc.
Area of the reinforcement required Ar:
Per section UG-37(d)(1):
Ar = 0.5(dtrF + 2tntrF(1-fr1)
= 0.5 x (3.5 x 0.033 x 1.0 + 2 x 0.083 x 0.033 x 1.0 x 0)
= 0.0578 in2
Where:
d: Finished diameter of circle opening, see Fig. UG-37.1 of UG-37.
D = 11.339 in (per drawing ME-443054)
F: Correction factor
fr : Strength reduction factor, not greater than 1.0
fr1 = Sn / Sv for nozzle wall inserted through the vessel wall
fr2 = Sn / Sv = 14.2 / 14.2 = 1.0
Area of reinforcement available Aa:
A1: Larger of the following calculated value: (area available in shell):
= d(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)
= 3.50 x (1 x 0.197 1.0 x 0.033) 2 x 0.083 (1.0 x 0.197 1.0 x 0.033) x 0
= 0.574 in2
or

= 2(t + tn)(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)


= 2 (0.197 + 0.083) x (1.0 x 0.197 1.0 x 0.033) 2 x 0.197 (1.0 x 0.375 1.0
x 0.25) x 0.0
= (2 x 0.28 x 0.164) in2
= 0.0918 in2
So pick A1 = 0.574 in2

26

Since A1 = 0.574 in2


Also: Aa = A1 + A2 + A3 + A41 + A43
That leads to:
Aa > Ar = 0.0578 in2
Per Fig. UG-37.1, section UG-37, the opening is adequately reinforced under the
current designated boundary conditions.
The analysis and conclusion should be true for all 8 instrumentation ports (#10 openings,
see section G-G, drawing ME-443027).

Calculations for the Opening of Port #16 for the Reinforcement and
Weld Size

The main vessel shell:


From section 4.1, it is found that tr = 0.250
The port #16:
do: 11.811, outside dia. of the port.
Di: 11.417, inside dia . of the port.
tn: 0.197, wall thickness of the port.
trn: required thickness of the port.
L: length of projection defining the thickness portion of integral reinforcement of the
port beyond the outside surface of the vessel wall.
E: 30 x 106 psi, modulus of elasticity of the material at the opening temp.
Material: SA 249-TP304L stainless steel pipe, Fa = Sn = 14,200 psi at the operating
temp., -200 F to 1000 F (per Table 1A, part D, Section II, ASME Boiler &
Pressure Vessel Code 1995 edition).
Reference drawings: Section H-H of ME-443027, and also as shown
from figure 4-4.1 and figure 4-4.2..

Figure 4-4.1 Multiple openings of the upstream end of the vessel

28

Figure 4-4.2, The 2D view of the port #16 from drawing ME-443027
Find out the wall thickness required:
Assuming L1 = (23.62 18.625) in = 5.00 in, tr1 = 0.035 in, then:
L1/do = 5.00/11.811 = 0.4233
do/tr1 = 11.811/0.035 = 337
From Fig. G and Fig. HA-3 of subpart 3 of Sect. II, part D:
A = 0.00057
B = 7700
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr1)) = (4 x 7700)/(3 x 337) = 30.46 psi > P
1. Try: L2 = 5.00in, tr2 = 0.025 in
L2/do = 0.4233
do/tr2 = 472
get:
A = 0.00033
B = 4650

29

Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 4650)/(3 x 472) = 13.13 psi < P


Try: L3 = 5.00 in, tr3 = 0.026in
L2/do = 0.4233
do/tr3 = 454
get:
A = 0.00035
B = 5000
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 5000)/(3 x 454) = 14.68 psi > P
So: trn = tr3 = 0.026 in
Size of the weld required:
Per UG-37, UW-16 (d.1) and Fig. UW-16.1(k) of ASME VIII, Div.1.
to: the throat dimension of the outer attachment weld, 0.7tmin.
ti: the throat dimension of the inside of the shell cutout, 0.7tmin
to = 0.7 tmin = 0.7 x 0.197 =0.138, so the fillet leg size is 0.19
ti = 0.7 tmin = 0.7 x 0.197 =0.138, so the fillet leg size is 0.19
to + ti = 0.138 + 0.138 = 0.276 1.25 tmin =0.246
Area of the reinforcement required Ar:
Per section UG-37(d)(1):
Ar = 0.5(dtrF + 2tntrF(1-fr1))
= 0.5 x (11.417 x 0.25 x 1.0 + 2 x 0.197 x 0.25 x 1.0 x 0.053)
= (1.4271 + 0.0026) in2
= 1.4297 in2
Where:
d: Finished diameter of circle opening, see Fig. UG-37.1 of UG-37.
D = 11.417 in (per drawing ME-443054)
F: Correction factor
fr : Strength reduction factor, not greater than 1.0
fr1 = Sn / Sv for nozzle wall inserted through the vessel wall
fr2 = Sn / Sv = 14.2 / 15 =0.947
Area of reinforcement available Aa:
A1: Larger of the following calculated value: (area available in shell):
= d16(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)
= 4.90 x (1 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.25) 2 x 0.197 x 1.0 x .125 x 0.053

30

= (0.6125 0.0026) in2


= 0.6099 in2
or

= 2(t + tn)(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)


= 2 (0.375 + 0.197) x (1.0 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.25) 2 x 0.197 x 1.0 x .125 x
0.053
= (0.143 0.0026) in2
= 0.1404 in2
So pick A1 = 0.6099 in2
where:
d16 2 x 51% x [( do x 13.3o) 360o + 2dn] = 4.90, per UG-42 (a)(1) and section
C-C of drawing ME-443054. 51% is the portion of the cross section can be
considered between two openings (#16 & #9) by the ratio of the diameters.
A2: Smaller of the following:
= 5 (tn-trn)tfr2
= 5 x (0.197 in 0.026 in) x 0.375 in x 0.947
= 0.3036 in2
or

= 5 (tn-trn) fr2tn
= 5 x (0.197 in 0.026 in) x 0.947 x 0.197 in
= 0.1595 in2
So pick A2 = 0.1595 in2
A3: Area available in inward nozzle, use the smallest value:
Since there is no inward nozzle
So pick A3 = 0.0 in2
A41: Outward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.192 in2 x 1.0
=0.036 in2
A43: Inward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.192 in2 x 1.0
= 0.036in2
Then:
Aa = A1 + A2 + A3 + A41 + A43
= (0.6099 + 0.1595 + 0 + 0.036 + 0.036) in2
= 0.8414 in2 < Ar = 1.4297 in2
The opening is not adequate, either to reduce the tr value or adding reinforcing element.
Assuming to add a stiffening rib like #26 of drawing ME-443027 at the location as shown
in figure 4-4.3

31

Figure 4-4.3, New version upstream end of the vessel with new stiffening rib.
If going through the similar procedures as shown on section 4.1, it was found that:
tr 0.13 when Lv = 45
then:
Area of the reinforcement required Ar:
Per section UG-37(d)(1):
Ar = 0.5(dtrF + 2tntrF(1-fr1))
= 0.5 x (11.417 x 0.13 x 1.0 + 2 x 0.197 x 0.13 x 1.0 x 0.053)
= (0.7421 + 0.0014) in2
= 0.7435 in2
Area of reinforcement available Aa:
A1: Larger of the following calculated value: (area available in shell):
= d16(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)
= 4.90 x (1 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.13) 2 x 0.197 x 1.0 x .245 x 0.053
= (1.2005 0.0051) in2

32

= 1.1954 in2
or

= 2(t + tn)(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)


= 2 (0.375 + 0.197) x (1.0 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.13) 2 x 0.197 x 1.0 x .245 x
0.053
= (0.2803 0.0051) in2
= 0.2752 in2
So pick A1 = 1.1954 in2
where:
d16 2 x 51% x [( do x 13.3o) 360o + 2dn] = 4.90, per UG-42 (a)(1) and section
C-C of drawing ME-443054. 51% is the portion of the cross section can be
considered between two openings (#16 & #9) by the ratio of the diameters.
A2: Smaller of the following:
= 5 (tn-trn)tfr2
= 5 x (0.197 in 0.026 in) x 0.375 in x 0.947
= 0.3036 in2
or

= 5 (tn-trn) fr2tn
= 5 x (0.197 in 0.026 in) x 0.947 x 0.197 in
= 0.1595 in2
So pick A2 = 0.1595 in2
A3: Area available in inward nozzle, use the smallest value:
Since there is no inward nozzle
So pick A3 = 0.0 in2
A41: Outward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.192 in2 x 1.0
=0.036 in2
A43: Inward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.192 in2 x 1.0
= 0.036in2
Then:
Aa = A1 + A2 + A3 + A41 + A43
= (1.1954 + 0.1595 + 0 + 0.036 + 0.036) in2
= 1.4269 in2 > Ar = 0.7435 in2
Per Fig. UG-37.1, section UG-37, the opening is adequately reinforced under the
modified boundary conditions.

33

Applying the similar approach, it also will find out that the opening #9 at the upstream
end is adequately reinforced under the modified boundary condition.

Calculations for the Opening of Port #22 for the Reinforcement and
Weld Size

The main vessel shell:


From section 4.4, it is found that tr = 0.13
The port #22:
do: 8.780, outside dia. of the port.
Di: 8.386, inside dia . of the port.
tn: 0.197, wall thickness of the port.
trn: required thickness of the port.
L: length of projection defining the thickness portion of integral reinforcement of the
port beyond the outside surface of the vessel wall.
E: 30 x 106 psi, modulus of elasticity of the material at the opening temp.
Material: SA 249-TP304L stainless steel pipe, Fa = Sn = 14,200 psi at the operating
temp., -200 F to 1000 F (per Table 1A, part D, Section II, ASME Boiler &
Pressure Vessel Code 1995 edition).
Reference drawings: Section K-K and detail L of ME-443027, and also as shown
from figure 4-5.1
Find out the wall thickness required:
1. Assuming L1 = 14.533 in, tr1 = 0.0625 in, then:
L1/do = 14.533/8.780 =1.6552
do/tr1 = 8.780/0.0.0625 = 140
From Fig. G and Fig. HA-3 of subpart 3 of Sect. II, part D:
A = 0.00053
B = 7400
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr1)) = (4 x 7400)/(3 x 140) = 70.48 psi > P
2. Try: L2 = 14.533 in, tr2 = 0.03125 in
L2/do = 1.6552
do/tr2 = 281
get:
A = 0.00017
B = 2300
Pa= (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 2300)/(3 x 281)
= 10.91 psi < P

35

Figure 4-5.1, The 2D view of the ports of #22, #24 & #14

Try: L3 = 14.533 in, tr3 = 0.035 in


L2/do = 1.6552
do/tr3 = 251
get:
A = 0.00021
B = 2800
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 2800)/(3 x 251) = 14.87 psi P
So: trn = tr3 = 0.035 in

36

Size of the weld required:


Per UG-37, UW-16 (d.1) and Fig. UW-16.1(k) of ASME VIII, Div.1.
to: the throat dimension of the outer attachment weld, =0.5 tmin.
ti: the throat dimension of the inside of the shell cutout, 0.7tmin
to = 0.7 tmin = 0.7 x 0.197 =0.138, so the fillet leg size is 0.19
ti = 0.7 tmin = 0.7 x 0.197 =0.138, so the fillet leg size is 0.19
to + ti = 0.138 + 0.138 = 0.276 1.25 tmin =0.246
Area of the reinforcement required Ar:
Per section UG-37(d)(1):
Ar = 0.5(dtrF + 2tntrF(1-fr1))
= 0.5 x (8.386 x 0.13 x 1.0 +2 x 0.197 x 0.13 x 1.0 x 0.053)
= 0.5 x (1.0902 + 0.0027)
= 0.5465 in2
Where:
d: Finished diameter of circle opening, see Fig. UG-37.1 of UG-37.
D = 8.386 in (per drawing ME-443054)
F: Correction factor
fr : Strength reduction factor, not greater than 1.0
fr1 = Sn / Sv for nozzle wall inserted through the vessel wall
fr2 = Sn / Sv = 14.2 / 15 =0.947
Area of reinforcement available Aa:
A1: Larger of the following calculated value: (area available in shell):
= d22(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)
= 3.243x (1 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.13) 2 x 0.197 x (1.0 x 0.375-1.0 x 0.13) x
0.053
= (0.7945 0.0051) in2
= 0.7894 in2
or

= 2(t + tn)(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)


= 2 (0.375 + 0.197) x (1.0 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.13) 2 x 0.197 x (1.0 x 0.375-1.0
x 0.13) x 0.053
= 0.28 0.0051
= 0.2749 in2
So pick A1 = 0.7894 in2
where:
d22 2 x 77% x [( do x 5.4o) 360o + dn22 + dn24 ] = 3.243, per UG-42 (a)(1) and
section C-C of drawing ME-443054. 51% is the portion of the cross section can
be considered between two openings (#22 & #24) by the ratio of the diameters.

37

A2: Smaller of the following:


= 5 (tn-trn)tfr2
= 5 x (0.197 in 0.035 in) x 0.375 in x 0.947
= 0.2877 in2
or

= 5 (tn-trn) fr2tn
= 5 x (0.197 in 0.046 in) x 0.947 x 0.197 in
= 0.1408 in2
So pick A2 = 0.1408 in2
A3: Area available in inward nozzle, use the smallest value:
Since there is no inward nozzle
So pick A3 = 0.0 in2
A41: Outward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.192 in2 x 1.0
=0.0361 in2
A43: Inward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.192 in2 x 1.0
= 0.0361in2
Then:
Aa = A1 + A2 + A3 + A41 + A43
= (0.7894 + 0.1408 + 0 + 0.0361 + 0.0361) in2
= 0.9979 in2 > Ar = 0.5465 in2
Per Fig. UG-37.1, section UG-37, the opening is adequately reinforced under the
current designated boundary conditions.
The analysis and conclusion should be also true for openings of #2 (have 2 openings @
both ends, see drawing ME-443027), this is because: the value of Lv for #2 opening is
equal or smaller than the value for #3 opening, the smaller value of Lv will lead to smaller
value of tr, accordingly, it will lead to the smaller value of Ar.

Calculations for the Opening of Port #24 for the Reinforcement and
Weld Size

The main vessel shell:


From section 4.4, it is found that tr = 0.130
The port #24:
do: 2.756, outside dia. of the port.
di: 2.52, inside dia . of the port.
tn: 0.118, wall thickness of the port.
trn: required thickness of the port.
L: length of projection defining the thickness portion of integral reinforcement of the
port beyond the outside surface of the vessel wall.
E: 30 x 106 psi, modulus of elasticity of the material at the opening temp.
Material: SA 249-TP304L stainless steel pipe, Fa = Sn = 14,200 psi at the operating
temp., -200 F to 1000 F (per Table 1A, part D, Section II, ASME Boiler &
Pressure Vessel Code 1995 edition).
Reference drawings: Section K-K and detail L of ME-443027, and also as shown
from figure 4-4.3 and figure 4-5.1.
Find out the wall thickness required:
1. Assuming L1 = (22.44 18.625) in = 3.815 in, tr1 = 0.0625 in, then:
L1/do = 3.815/2.756 =1.3843
do/tr1 = 2.756/0.0.0625 = 44
From Fig. G and Fig. HA-3 of subpart 3 of Sect. II, part D:
A = 0.0035
B = 11500
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr1)) = (4 x 11500)/(3 x 44) = 348 psi > P
3. Try: L2 = 3.815 in, tr2 = 0.03125 in
L2/do = 1.3843
do/tr2 = 88
get:
A = 0.0012
B = 8950
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 8950)/(3 x 88) = 135.6 psi > P

39

3. Try: L3 = 3.815 in, tr3 = 0.013 in


L2/do = 1.3843
do/tr3 = 212
get:
A = 0.00033
B = 4550
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 2800)/(3 x 251) = 28.62 psi > P
4. Try: L3 = 3.815 in, tr3 = 0.011 in
L2/do = 1.3843
do/tr3 = 251
get:
A = 0.000215
B = 2900
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 2900)/(3 x 251) = 15.41 psi P
So: trn = tr3 = 0.011 in
Size of the weld required:
Per UG-37, UW-16 (d.1) and Fig. UW-16.1(k) of ASME VIII, Div.1.
to: the throat dimension of the outer attachment weld, =0.5 tmin.
ti: the throat dimension of the inside of the shell cutout, 0.7tmin
to = 0.7 tmin = 0.7 x 0.118 =0.0826, so the fillet leg size is 0.117
ti = 0.7 tmin = 0.7 x 0.197 =0.0826, so the fillet leg size is 0.117
to + ti = 0.0826 + 0.0826 = 0.165 1.25 tmin =0.148
Area of the reinforcement required Ar:
Per section UG-37(d)(1):
Ar = 0.5(dtrF + 2tntrF(1-fr1))
= 0.5 x (2.52 x 0.13 x 1.0 + 2 x 0.118 x 0.13 x 1.0 x 0.053)
= 0.5 x (0.3276 + 0.0016) in2
= 0.1646 in2
Where:
d: Finished diameter of circle opening, see Fig. UG-37.1 of UG-37.
d = 2.52 in (per drawing ME-443054)
F: Correction factor
fr : Strength reduction factor, not greater than 1.0
fr1 = Sn / Sv for nozzle wall inserted through the vessel wall

40

fr2 = Sn / Sv = 14.2 / 15 =0.947


Area of reinforcement available Aa:
A1: Larger of the following calculated value: (area available in shell):
= d24(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)
= 0.9686 x (1 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.13) 2 x 0.118 x 1.0 x .245 x 0.053
= (0.237 - 0.0031) in2
= 0.2339 in2
or

= 2(t + tn)(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)


= 2 (0.375 + 0.118) x (1.0 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.13) 2 x 0.118 x 1.0 x .245 x
0.053
= (0.1208 0.0031) in2
= 0.1177 in2
So pick A1 = 0.2339 in2
where:
d24 2 x 23% x [( do x 5.4o) 360o + dn22 + dn24 ] = 0.9686, per UG-42 (a)(1)
and section C-C of drawing ME-443054. 51% is the portion of the cross section
can be considered between two openings (#22 & #24) by the ratio of the
diameters.
A2: Smaller of the following:
= 5 (tn-trn)tfr2
= 5 x (0.118 in 0.011 in) x 0.375 in x 0.947
= 0.190 in2
or

= 5 (tn-trn) fr2tn
= 5 x (0.118 in 0.011 in) x 0.947 x 0.118 in
= 0.0598 in2
So pick A2 = 0.0598 in2
A3: Area available in inward nozzle, use the smallest value:
Since there is no inward nozzle
So pick A3 = 0.0 in2
A41: Outward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.112 in2 x 1.0
=0.012 in2
A43: Inward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.112 in2 x 1.0
= 0.012in2

41

Then:
Aa = A1 + A2 + A3 + A41 + A43
= (0.2339 + 0.0598 + 0 + 0.0121 + 0.0121) in2
= 0.3179 in2 > Ar = 0.1646 in2
Per Fig. UG-37.1, section UG-37, the opening is adequately reinforced under the
current designated boundary conditions.

4.7 Analysis for the Opening of Port #14 for the Reinforcement and Weld Size
The main vessel shell:
From section 4.1, it is found that tr = 0.250
The port #14:
do: 6.625, outside dia. of the port.
di: 6.187, inside dia . of the port.
tn: 0.219, wall thickness of the port.
trn: required thickness of the port.
L: length of projection defining the thickness portion of integral reinforcement of the
port beyond the outside surface of the vessel wall.
L = 22.44- 18.625 = 3.815
E: 30 x 106 psi, modulus of elasticity of the material at the opening temp.
Material: SA 249-TP304L stainless steel pipe, Fa = Sn = 14,200 psi at the operating
temp., -200 F to 1000 F (per Table 1A, part D, Section II, ASME Boiler &
Pressure Vessel Code 1995 edition).
Reference drawings: Section K-K and detail L of ME-443027, and also as shown
from figure 4-4.3 and figure 4-5.1.
Find out the wall thickness required:
1. Assuming L1 = (22.44 18.625) in = 3.815 in, tr1 = 0.0625 in, then:
L1/do = 3.815/6.625 =0.5758
do/tr1 = 6.625/0.0625 = 106
From Fig. G and Fig. HA-3 of subpart 3 of Sect. II, part D:
A = 0.0023
B = 10500
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr1)) = (4 x 10500)/(3 x 106) = 132 psi > P
2. Try: L2 = 3.815 in, tr2 = 0.02 in
L2/do = 0.5758
do/tr2 = 331
get:
A = 0.0004
B = 7000
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 7000)/(3 x 331) = 28.2 psi > P
3. Try: L3 = 3.815 in, tr3 = 0.0170 in

43

L3/do = 0.5758
do/tr3 = 390
get:
A = 0.00031
B = 4350
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 4350)/(3 x 390) = 14.87 psi P
So: trn = tr3 = 0.017 in
Size of the weld required:
Per UG-37, UW-16 (d.1) and Fig. UW-16.1(k) of ASME VIII, Div.1.
to: the throat dimension of the outer attachment weld, =0.5 tmin.
ti: the throat dimension of the inside of the shell cutout, 0.7tmin
to = 0.7 tmin = 0.7 x 0.219 =0.153, so the fillet leg size is 0.216
ti = 0.7 tmin = 0.7 x 0.219 =0.153, so the fillet leg size is 0.216
to + ti = 0.153 + 0.153 = 0.306 1.25 tmin =0.274
ti22 = to22 = 0.19 < ti14 = to14 = 0.21
Area of the reinforcement required Ar:
Per section UG-37(d)(1):
Ar = 0.5(dtrF + 2tntrF(1-fr1))
= 0.5 x (6.187 x 0.25 x 1.0 + 2 x 0.219 x 0.25 x 1.0 x 0.053)
= (0.7734 + 0.0058) in2
= 0.7792 in2
Where:
d: Finished diameter of circle opening, see Fig. UG-37.1 of UG-37.
d = 6.187 in (per drawing ME-443054)
F: Correction factor
fr : Strength reduction factor, not greater than 1.0
fr1 = Sn / Sv for nozzle wall inserted through the vessel wall
fr2 = Sn / Sv = 14.2 / 15 =0.947
Area of reinforcement available Aa:
A1: Larger of the following calculated value: (area available in shell):
= d14(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)
= 5 x (1 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.25) 2 x 0.219 x 1.0 x .125 x 0.053
= (0.625 - 0.0058) in2
= 0.6192 in2

44

or

= 2(t + tn)(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)


= 2 (0.375 + 0.219) x (1.0 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.25) 2 x 0.219 x 1.0 x .125 x
0.053
= (0.1485 0.0058) in2
= 0.1427 in2
So pick A1 = 0.6192 in2
where:
d14 2 x 71% x ( do x 10.9o) 360o = 5.08, per UG-42 (a)(1) and section C-C of
drawing ME-443054. 71% is the portion of the cross section can be considered
between two openings (#24 & #14) by the ratio of the diameters.
A2: Smaller of the following:
= 5 (tn-trn)tfr2
= 5 x (0.219in 0.017 in) x 0.375 in x 0.947
= 0.3587in2
or

= 5 (tn-trn) fr2tn
= 5 x (0.219 in 0.017 in) x 0.947 x 0.219 in
= 0.2095 in2
So pick A2 = 0.2095 in2
A3: Area available in inward nozzle, use the smallest value:
Since there is no inward nozzle
So pick A3 = 0.0 in2
A41: Outward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.212 in2 x 1.0
=0.044 in2
A43: Inward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.212 in2 x 1.0
= 0.044in2
Then:
Aa = A1 + A2 + A3 + A41 + A43
= (0.6192 + 0.2095 + 0 + 0.044 + 0.044) in2
= 0.9167 in2 > Ar = 0.7792 in2
Per Fig. UG-37.1, section UG-37 and UG-42, the opening is adequately reinforced
under the boundary conditions.
Notes:
1. The actual tr = 0.13 in the upstream end area after adding the stiffening rib as
shown in figure x.1, that leads even smaller value of Ar and larger value of Aa,

45

so the additional reinforcing element is not necessary.


2. The analysis of the above is based on the opening in the upstream end of the
Vessel. Per sections A-A and C-C of drawing ME-443054, sections A-A and K-K
of drawing ME-443027, #14 opening in the downstream end of the vessel has
larger space distance to its neighboring opening, to this end, we conclude that #14
opening at the downstream end is adequately reinforced under the current design
configuration.

Calculations for the Opening of Port #20 for the Reinforcement and Weld Size

The main vessel shell:


From section x.x, it is found that tr = 0.130
The port #20:
do: 4.50, outside dia. of the port.
di: 4.26, inside dia . of the port.
tn: 0.120, wall thickness of the port.
trn: required thickness of the port.
L: length of projection defining the thickness portion of integral reinforcement of the
port beyond the outside surface of the vessel wall.
E: 30 x 106 psi, modulus of elasticity of the material at the opening temp.
Material: SA 249-TP304L stainless steel pipe, Fa = Sn = 14,200 psi at the operating
temp., -200 F to 1000 F (per Table 1A, part D, Section II, ASME Boiler &
Pressure Vessel Code 1995 edition).
Reference drawings: Section J-J of ME-443027, and also as shown
from figure 4-4.3 and figure 4-8.1..

Figure 4-8.1, The 2D view of the port #20 from drawing ME-443027-2

47

Find out the wall thickness required:


1. Assuming L1 = 2.771 in, tr1 = 0.035 in, then:
L1/do = 2.771/4.50 = 0.6158
do/tr1 = 4.50/0.035 = 129
From Fig. G and Fig. HA-3 of subpart 3 of Sect. II, part D:
A = 0.0015
B = 9500
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr1)) = (4 x 9500)/(3 x 129) = 98 psi > P
3. Try: L2 = 2.771 in, tr2 = 0.025 in
L2/do = 0.6158
do/tr2 = 180
get:
A = 0.00089
B = 8400
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 8400)/(3 x 180) = 62.2 psi > P
3. Try: L3 = 2.771 in, tr3 = 0.013 in
L2/do = 0.6158
do/tr3 = 375
get:
A = 0.00032
B = 4400
Pa = (4B)/(3(do/tr2)) = (4 x 4400)/(3 x 375) = 15.64 psi > P
So: trn = tr3 = 0.013 in
Size of the weld required:
Per UG-37, UW-16 (d.1) and Fig. UW-16.1(k) of ASME VIII, Div.1.
to: the throat dimension of the outer attachment weld, 0.7tmin.
ti: the throat dimension of the inside of the shell cutout, 0.7tmin
to = 0.7 tmin = 0.7 x 0.120 =0.084, so the fillet leg size is 0.119
ti = 0.7 tmin = 0.7 x 0.120 =0.084, so the fillet leg size is 0.119
to + ti = 0.084 + 0.084 = 0.168 1.25 tmin =0.15
Area of the reinforcement required Ar:

48

Per section UG-37(d)(1):


Ar = 0.5(dtrF + 2tntrF(1-fr1))
= 0.5 x (4.26 x 0.13 x 1.0 + 2 x 0.120 x 0.13 x 1.0 x 0.053)
= 0.5 x (0.5538 + 0.0017) in2
= 0.2778 in2
Where:
d: Finished diameter of circle opening, see Fig. UG-37.1 of UG-37.
d = 4.26 in (per drawing ME-443054)
F: Correction factor
fr : Strength reduction factor, not greater than 1.0
fr1 = Sn / Sv for nozzle wall inserted through the vessel wall
fr2 = Sn / Sv = 14.2 / 15 =0.947
Area of reinforcement available Aa:
A1: Larger of the following calculated value: (area available in shell):
= d20(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)
= 3.346 x (1 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.13) 2 x 0.120 x 1.0 x .245 x 0.053
= (0.8198 - 0.0031) in2
= 0.8167 in2
or

= 2(t + tn)(E1t Ftr)-2tn(E1t Ftr) x (1-fr1)


= 2 (0.375 + 0.120) x (1.0 x 0.375 1.0 x 0.13) 2 x 0.120 x 1.0 x .245 x
0.053
= (0.2426 0.0031) in2
= 0.2395 in2
So pick A1 = 0.8167 in2
Where:

d20 2 x 27% x 6.1975 = 3.346, per UG-42 (a)(1) and front view of drawing
ME-443054. 27% is the portion of the cross section can be considered between
two openings (#16 & #20) by the ratio of the diameters.
6.1975 = 14.036 (ctr. to ctr. distance of the openings #20 & #16) 0.5 x
15.677

A2: Smaller of the following:


= 5 (tn-trn)tfr2
= 5 x (0.120 in 0.013 in) x 0.375 in x 0.947
= 0.190 in2
or

= 5 (tn-trn) fr2tn
= 5 x (0.120 in 0.013 in) x 0.947 x 0.120 in
= 0.0608 in2
So pick A2 = 0.0608 in2

49

A3: Area available in inward nozzle, use the smallest value:


Since there is no inward nozzle
So pick A3 = 0.0 in2
A41: Outward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.122 in2 x 1.0
=0.014 in2
A43: Inward nozzle weld
= leg2 fr2
= 0.122 in2 x 1.0
= 0.014in2
Then:
Aa = A1 + A2 + A3 + A41 + A43
= (0.8167 + 0.0608 + 0 + 0.014 + 0.014) in2
= 0.9055 in2 > Ar = 0.2778 in2
Per Fig. UG-37.1, section UG-37, the opening is adequately reinforced under the
designated boundary conditions.

hT = (B1 B2) 4

= 1.3568 in
So: Mp = (16,012 x 2.7135) lbs-in + (5,006 x 1.3568) lbs-in

Welds Analysis and Calculations:
58

See UW-13 (e)(2), Fig. UW-13.2, section 2-3 and Fig. 2-4(4a), Appendix 2 of
ASME VIII, Div.1. for the related codes and the physical representation of the
nomenclatures.
Per above codes, it is required that the throat of the fillet c = 0.7tmin. = 0.26,
So the fillet leg size is ~ 0.37.
However, per the assembly configuration of the upstream flange connecting with
the below flange (see drawing TTF-CRY3-01.01.00 & TTF-CRY3-01.03.00), it is
found that there only has ~0.19 clearance between flange MD-443038 and
MD-443039, so it is suggested to use 0.37 bevel groove instead of 0.37 fillet weld to
meet the related code required and to avoid the parts interference.
It is found that:
tp= 0.32 > 0.25
where is the smallest of tn, tx and 0.25 is 0.25
c = tn = 0.375 = leg of the fillet or bevel groove
b = 0.16 + 2 x tan 15o x 0.43
= 0.39
a = 0.43 + 0.37- 0.06
= 0.74
a + b = 1.13 3tn = 1.125
The weld design for the end flange is ok.
Also run a weld strength calculation for the noted location as the 2nd analysis
approach:
Radial pressure load Frp:
Frp = P Lsd
= 14.7 psi x 230 in
= 3,381 lbs/in
Shear flow due to radial shear load Fsr:
Fsr = VQ/I
where:
Radial shear load V:
V = 0.01 P Lsd Do
= 0.01 x 14.7 psi x 230 in x 38,0 in
= 1,285 lbs.
The 1st moment of area Q:
Q = 2.67 in x 0.375 in x (1.1454 0.1875) in
= 0.959 in3
I = 2.4101 in4

59

Fsr = VQ/I
= 1,285 lbs. x 0.959 in3 / 2.4101 in4
= 511 lbs/in
The required resultant weld load Frw:
Frw = ( 3,3812 + 5112)1/2 lbs/in
= 3,419 lbs/in
The welds for connecting the flange and the vessel shell is single groove weld inside
and intermittent fillet outside, the lowest allowable weld stress Faw:
Faw = 0.60 Sn = 0.60 x 16.7 ksi
= 10.02 ksi
The requires calculated minimum weld size Cm:
Cm = Frw / Faw
= 3,419 / 10,020 (in)
= 0.341 in < 0.43 in (designated single groove weld)
If adding the value of the outside intermittent bevel groove weld (0.0.37), the weld
size even can go further smaller size.
So, the design of the weld for the upstream end flange is satisfactory.
Per the above calculations and analysis, the upstream end flange and the bellow flange
have met the codes of ASME VIII, Div.1.

Since there some information are missing at this moment, so it is to make the best
assumption as followings:
1. The downstream end flange MC-443040 connect to the upstream end flange of the
bellow (see drawing TTF-CRY3-01.03.00).
2. The above two flanges are connected by the clamps, the center line of the clamp
C = 43.78 + (45.47 43.78) / 2 = 44.625.
3. A = 45.669, G = 44.488, T1 = 1.57, T2 = 1.57, B1 = 42.677, B2 = 37.37.25.
4. n = 12, D = 0.55
Material: SA 182-F304L stainless steel, Fa = Sf= 16,700 psi at the operating
temp., -200 F to 1000 F (per Table 1A, part D, Section II, ASME Boiler &
Pressure Vessel Code 1995 edition).
Per section Y-5.1, Y-5.2, figure Y-5.1.2 of Appendix Y,
Section 2-4, figure 2-4 of Appendix 2 of ASME VIII:
B1 > C,
So it is defined as: Class 2, Category 3 flange
In order to reduce the amount of work required as shown on section 5.1, per section Y-9,
of Appendix Y, ASME VIII, Div.1, we apply the method of estimating flange thickness
and bolting for the downstream flanges.
ta = 2.45 [Mp / ((C nD)Sf)]1/2
(per eq. 39 of Y-9, appendix Y, ASME VIII, Div.1)
where:
Mp = HDhD + HThT + HGhG (per sectionY-3, Appendix Y, ASME VIII)
HD = 0.785 B12 P
= 0.785 x 42.6772 in2 x 14.7 psi
= 21,017 lbs.
H = 0.785G2P
= 0.785 x 44.4882 in2 x 14.7 psi
= 22,839 lbs.
HT = H - HD
= 22,839 21,017
= 1,822 lbs.

61

hG = (C G)/2
= (44.625 44.488)in / 2
= 0.0685 in
hD = (C B) / 2
= ( 44.625 42.677) / 2
= 0.974 in
hT = (hD + hG) / 2
= 0.5213 in
HG = W H, gasket load
(per section 2-3, appendix 2, ASME VIII)
W = H + Hp,
flange design load for the operating condition
(per section 2-5(c)(1), appendix 2, ASME VIII)
which leads to:
HG = W H
= H + Hp H
= Hp
= 2b x 3.14GmP
= 2 x 0.315 in x 3.14 x 44.488 in x 6.00 x 14.7 psi
= 7,766 lbs.
Mp = HDhD + HThT + HGhG
= (21,017 x 0.974 + 1,822 x 0.5213 + 7,766 x 0.0685) lbs-in
= (20,471 + 950 + 532) lbs-in
= 21,953 lbs-in
ta = 2.45 [Mp / ((C nD)Sf)]1/2
= 2.45 x [ 21,953 lbs-in / (( 44.625 in 24 x 0.551 in) x 16,700 psi)]1/2
= 2.45 x 0.102 in
= 0.250 in
tb = 0.56 B1 (P/Sf)1/2
= 0.56 x 42.677 in x (14.7 psi / 16,700 psi)1/2
= 0.56 x 42.677 in x 0.0297
= 0.71 in
Since tc is the greater of ta or tb, so:
tc = tb = 0.71
Per equation 42 of A-7, Appendix Y, ASME VIII, Div. 1:
Ab = (H + 2 Mp / (A C)) Sb

62

= (22,839 lbs + 2 x 21,953 lbs-in / (45.669 44.625) in ) 20,000 psi


= (22,839 lbs + 42,056 lbs) / 20,000 psi
= 3.245 in2
Per Table Y-9.1, Appendix Y, ASME VIII, Div.1, it is found:
t1 = 1.1ta = 0.275 < T1 = 1.57
t2 = 1.1tc = 0.781 < T2 = 1.57
So the thickness of the flanges are ok for the downstream end flanges.
Welds Analysis and Calculations:
The weld configurations are the same as the upstream flange, it designed per section UW13 (e)(2), Fig. UW-13.2, section 2-3 and Fig. 2-4(4a), Appendix 2 of ASME VIII, Div.1
Also, since the valus of Lsd for downstream end flange is ~45 (~230 for upstream end
flange), I value for downstream end flange is large than the upstream flange, all these
lead to a smaller values of Frw and Cm than the upstream end flange requires, however, the
designated welds of the downstream end flange are the same as the upstream end flange,
so the welds design are satisfactory.
Per the above calculations, the upstream end flange and the bellow flange have met the
codes of ASME VIII, Div.1.

The most representation of nomenclature of the Table can be found from section 5.1 of
this note, also from the appendix 2 and appendix Y of ASME VIII, Div.1, except:

64

t1, Estimated calculated flange 1 thickness


t2, Estimated calculated flange 2 thickness
Ab, Estimated calculated root diameter area of the bolts.
t1d, Designated flange 1 thickness
t2d, Dersignated flange 2 thickness
Abd, Designated root diameter area of the bolts.
Per table 5.3, it is found that all t1 > t1d; t2 > t2d and Ab > Abd for all respective flanges, so
the flange design are satisfactory.
Per figure UW-13.2, section UW-13, appendix 2 of ASME VIII, Div. 1 and drawing ME443027, it is found that all flange welds are designed per the related codes.

Calculation and Analysis of the Saddle support


Reference drawing:

ME-443027
Figure: 6.1 and Figure 6.2

Per drawing ME-443027 and figure x.x.1, it is found that:


Lc = 163.50 x 2 = 327 in (the ctr. distance between 2 saddle support.)
Wws = 7,745 lbs. the weight of the vessel shell weldment.
Wother = 8,846 lbs.,
the weight of coldmass shields & pipe, 8 cavity string w/mech. turners,
individual dressed cavity w/turner, main coupler.
Wtot = 1.05 (Wws + Wtot ) 17,421 lbs
(Total weight including 5% mice. parts weight applying to two saddle supports)

Figure 6.1, The weight and the location of the ctr. of gravity of the vessel shell assembly.
The force distribution diagram on figure x.x.2 is created conservatively based on the information
from figure x.x.1 and drawing ME- 443027.
It is found that:
Q1 + Q2 = 17,421 lbs = Wtot
Q2 = (Wtot x 148.13) / 327

66

the reaction force on the downstream saddle support.


= 7,892 lbs
Q1 = 9,529 lbs.
the reaction force on the upstream saddle support.
A = 76.854 in
the distance from the end of the upstream end to the ctr, of the 1 st saddle support.
Ltot 448 in

= 120o, the value of the assuming contact angle of the saddle support.

To find the longitudinal stress on the saddle support 1:
f1s = QA [ 1 (1 A/L + (R2 H2) / 2AL) / (1 + 4H/3L)] / KR2ts
where H = 0,
R = 19.0
K = constant, from page 88 of Pressure Vessel Handbook, 7th edition,
by E. Megyesy
f1s = 9,529 lbs x 76.854 x [1 - (1 76.854 / 448 + (192 / 2 x 76.854 x 448))
(1 + 0)] / (0.335 x 192 x 0.375 in3)
= 732,342 lbs-in x [ 1- (1 0.1715 + 0.0052)] 45.351 in3
= 2,686 psi
To find the longitudinal stress on the middle of the span:
f1m = (QL/4) [(1 + 2 (R2 H2) /L2)) / (1 + 4H/3L) 4A/L] / KR2ts
= 1,067,248 lbs-in x ( 1.0036 0.6862) 45.351 in3
= 7,469 psi
Stress due to the pressure:
67

fp = PR / 2ts
= 14.7 psi x 19.0 in / 2 x 0.375 in
= 373 psi
So, the total longitudinal stress at the middle span of the vessel:
fbm = f1m + fp = 7,469 psi + 373 psi
= 7,842 psi < 0.80 Fa = 12 ksi
where:
Fa: allowable stree, see page x.
0.80, joint efficiency, see Table UW-12, section UW-12, ASME VIII, Div.1.
To find the tangential stress on the vessel shell:
f2t = (K2Q / Rts )( L -2A) / (L + 1.333H)
= ((1.1712 x 9,529 lbs./ 19 in x 0.375 in) x (448 2 x 76.854) in) 448 in
= 1,834 psi x 294.29 in / 448 in
= 1,197 psi < 0.80 Fa = 12 ksi
To find the circumferential stress on the vessel shell:
f4c = (Q / (4ts(b + 1.56(Rts)1/2) 3K6Q / 2ts2
where: b, the width of the saddle support, assuming 3/4 inch, so:
f4c = [9,529 lbs / 4 x 0.375 in x (0.75 + 1.56 x (19 x 0.375)1/2 in] (3 x 0.053 x 9,529
lbs / (2 x 0.3752 in2))
= -1,293 psi 5,387 psi
= |- 6,680| psi < 1.50 Fa = 22.5 ksi
So, all the stresses are less than the allowable stress respectively, so the saddle support
design is satisfactory (Since the design hasnt finished yet, the calculation and analysis is
based on the assumption of: the saddle support has al least 120o degree contact angle
with 3/8 in thick wear plate).
