Slot Expansion Calculation

This document provides calculations for determining the slot length and thermal expansion for a sliding saddle. It calculates the slot length as 2 x distance between saddles x mean coefficient of thermal expansion x greatest absolute value of ambient temperature minus maximum or minimum shell temperature. It then calculates the actual slot length by adding 6mm for fabrication tolerance. The calculated slot length is 14.82mm and the provided slot length for the sliding saddle is 15mm.

Slot Length & Thermal Expansion Calculation For Sliding Saddle

Tag No:
Service:
Referernce :‐PIP VEFV 1105 & Table TE‐1 of ASME Section II Part ‐D

1) Slot Length calculation as per PIP VEFV 1


DL = Distance bewteen saddle
ά = Mean coefficient of thermal expansion for shell material at maximum nameplate temperature
Δ T = Greatest absoulte value of ambient temperature (21 oC) minus maximum or minimum shell
temp. to be stamped on nameplate
Tmax = Maximum shell temp.
Tmin = Minimum shell temp.Tmin Minimum shell temp.

DL = 2800 mm
ά  = 0.0000125 mm/mm/ oC
Tmax = 147 o
c
Tmin = 10 o
c
Δ T = MAX(Tmax ‐21 , 21‐Tmin) o
c
Δ T = 126 o
c
Hence ; Slot Length = SL= 2 x DL x ά x Δ T in inch unit
= 8.82 mm
Actual slot length = Slot length +6 mm (fabrication tolerance)
Actual slot length = 14.82 mm Provided

Slot Length for Sliding Saddle = 15 mm
