🌟 Just had the privilege of attending an insightful webinar titled: "The Fundamentals of Pressure Vessel Design in Accordance with ASME Section VIII-DIV1"! 💡 Delved deep into the intricacies of pressure vessel design, exploring key principles and compliance standards outlined by ASME. From material selection to fabrication techniques, it was a comprehensive overview. Excited to leverage this newfound knowledge in my engineering endeavors. A huge thank you to Velosi Asset Integrity Limited for putting together such an enriching session! #PressureVesselDesign #ASMEStandards #EngineeringEducation 🚀🔍

This report is intended to cover actions by the ASME BPV VIII Committee specifically as they apply to Section Division 1 vessel construction: https://ow.ly/a0vr50SnioK

Are you familiar with ASME Code Case 2695 or Appendix 46 of ASME Section Div.1, Ed. 2023? These sections explore the utilization of ASME Section VIII Div.2 formulas alongside Div.1 allowable stresses. Ever considered how updates in construction codes might impact equipment thickness and lead to more economical solutions? What if we use a single allowable stress value and adapt various code formulas accordingly? Let's delve into this topic to uncover potential economic benefits. I have compared different theory and ASME codes equations, assuming a single allowable stress value for ASME Section VIII Div.-1 and analysed the resulting thickness requirements. Findings suggest minimal impact of various code formulas on vessel thickness, slight variations observed at very high pressures. This underscores the importance of exploring alternative approaches for optimal construction codes. Refer to the comparison graph below for detailed insights. Like, comment, and share, which motivates me to bring up such a topic. Follow and connect Vishal Tailor #asme #Code_of_Construction #Pressurevesseldesign

Time dependent values for the allowable stresses (Creep Conditions) in ASME B&PVC sec. VIII div. 1 1. Rules for establishing allowable stress in sec. II part D: At temperatures in the range where creep and stress rupture strength govern the selection of stresses, the maximum allowable stress value for all materials is established based on the creep rate rupture or stress to cause rupture at 100,000 hr 2. Allowable stresses in creep range shown in italic font in tables 1A and 1B sec. II part D 3. ASME B&PVC Sec. VIII Div.1 and 2 does NOT have specific finite life requirements. Sources: Code interpretation VIII-80-106 4. Material properties duration 100,000 hrs are included as part of the basis in establishing the allowable stresses (the italic values); this is NOT an anticipated nor a design life for the pressure vessel.

Comparison between ASME Section VIII Division 1 Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3: Class 1: Designed for general service conditions with lower consequences of failure, featuring less conservative design rules. Class 2: Subject to more severe service conditions or higher consequences of failure than Class 1, with more conservative design rules to ensure increased safety. Class 3: Reserved for vessels facing the most severe service conditions or highest consequences of failure, necessitating the most conservative design rules for utmost safety and reliability.

Our colleagues at CEI wrote a comprehensive guide on the preferred method for determining local stress on nozzles with external loads. First written by our own Tony Paulin, STP-PT-074, was later adopted under ASME Section VIII, Division 2 in the 2021 edition of the codebook. If you're curious about implementing the method in your own engineering practices, this is one to check out: https://lnkd.in/g4EszqcF #NozzleAnalysis #LocalStress #NozzleLoading #ASME #STPPT074
