Pressure Vessels

Closed vessel having an internal pressure between 15 psig to 3000 psig

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code contains rules for the design, fabrication and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels

May include reflux drum, storage tanks, heat exchangers, chemical reactors, distillation columns, absorption tower, stripping columns, etc.

PV Design: Shell Thickness

In general, the minimum wall thickness of welded metal plates subject to pressure, excluding corrosion allowances, should not be less than 2.4 mm

a function of the ultimate tensile strength of the metal at operating temperature, operating pressure, vessel diameter and welding joint efficiency

Sample Problem

Determine the thickness of a 5 meter inside diameter spherical tank for handling a corrosive liquid at a design pressure and temperature of 300KPa and 27F, respectively. The material of construction is made of carbon steel.

Page 18: PRESSURE VESSELS

Sample Problem

If the height of the tank is 35m, what is the thickness of the tank incorporating earthquake and wind load?

What if the given pressure is an operating pressure?

Page 20: PRESSURE VESSELS

Square Butt Joints

Used to butt weld light sheet metal1/16 to 3/16 thick metal.

Page 21: PRESSURE VESSELS

Beveled Butt Joints

Used to butt weld heavier pieces of metal together

3/8 to ½ inch metal can welded using a single V or U joint

½ Inch metal and up can be welded using a double V or U joint

Page 22: PRESSURE VESSELS

Beveled Cont.

Page 23: PRESSURE VESSELS

Corner JointsUsed to join to pieces of metal that are

approximately right angles to each other

Closed corner joint is used on light sheet metal were strength is not required at the joint

Half open corner joint is used on heavier metal when welding can only be done on one side. Used when load is not severe.

Page 24: PRESSURE VESSELS

Corner Cont.

Open corner joint is used on heavy material. It is the strongest of the corner joints

Corner joints on heavy material are welded on both sides The outside first then reinforced on the inside

Page 25: PRESSURE VESSELS

Corners Cont.

Page 26: PRESSURE VESSELS

Edge Joints

Used to join two parallel or nearly parallel pieces of metal (0.25 in thick or less). Not very strong.

Used mainly to join edges of sheet metal, reinforce flanges of I beams, and mufflers.

Page 27: PRESSURE VESSELS

Lap Joints

Used to join two overlapping pieces of metal

Single lap joint welded from one sideSingle lap joint welded from two sides

develops full strengthOff set lap joint is used when two pieces of

metal need to be joined in the same plain.

Page 28: PRESSURE VESSELS

Lap Joints Cont.

A- single lap joint, one weld.

B- single lap joint, two welds.

C- offset lap joint.

Page 29: PRESSURE VESSELS

Tee Joints

Used to join two pieces of metal that are approximately 90 degrees to each other, but the surface of one piece of metal is not in the same plain as the other metal.

Tee Joints Cont.

A- plain teeB- single beveledC- double beveledD- single JE- double J

Types of Welds

Fillet weld- basic weld used. Used when joining two pieces of metal without preparing the surface of the metal first.

Groove weld- basic weld, used when preparing the metal before welding it into place.

Weld/Joint Efficiency

Welding – heats the metal surrounding the welding area

- results in warping, shrinking of the welded area

Stress Relieving - required to release locked up localized stress

- annealing or hammering

Radiographing - locate weld defects and other structural trouble- welded joints are exposed to x-ray to detect excessive porosity, defective fusion and other defects in the welding process

Page 36: PRESSURE VESSELS

Weld/Joint Efficiency

For carbon steels (t ≤ 1.25 in) requires only 10% x-ray check E = 85%

For thicker walls requires 100% x-ray check E = 100%

Page 37: PRESSURE VESSELS

Weld/Joint Efficiency

Longitudinal joints should be butt- weldedVessels in lethal application should be

butt-welded and fully radiographedAll vessels fabricated on carbon or alloy

steel requires post-heat treatment

All welded joints of cryogenic tanks must be butt welded, postweld heat treated and X- ray examined

Page 38: PRESSURE VESSELS

For double butt joint, the following are the corresponding efficiencies

Full radiography 100%Spot radiography 85%No radiography 70 %

** when welded joint efficiency is not known, assume a no spot radiography
