Subgroup Locomotives National Board Item No. NB13-1409 Current Level: Subgroup New Business NBIC Part 2 Paragraph(s): To be determined Title: Method for Analyzing Bulges Created by Overheating In Stayed Boiler Surfaces Date Opened: April 16,2013 This item is submitted by Richard Stone As you know, my "Calculation Method For Analyzing Bulges In Stayed Firebox Sheets" has been used by the historic boiler and locomotive boiler groups to set limits for the allowable bulge depth on the stayed firebox sheets of their particular boiler types. I suggest the National Board incorporate my method's principle calculations into the "Inspection Section" of the NBIC as a way to assist National board inspectors and repair firms with the evaluation of bulges caused by the overheating of the stayed boiler surfaces of other boiler types. My method would be useful for analyzing bulges caused by overheating on the stayed surfaces of boilers made by manufacturers that are now out of business since the engineering resources of these firms would not be available for consultation. The benefits of my method and calculations for analyzing bulges caused by overheating on the stayed surfaces are : 1) It provides a simple way to determine the normal deflection (bulge depth) of the stayed surface during normal operation in order to compare it to the as-found bulged condition. 2) It provides a simple and fast way to determine the extent of the weakening that occurred to produce the as -found bulged condition. 3) It provides a simple and fast method to determine the temperature that the overheated stayed surface was heated to as the bulge formed. This in turn will serve to aid boiler owners and operators to understand the seriousness of the bulging event. I've included additional information about how a National Board inspector would perform their inspection and use my calculations within my report. It is listed in the Section "Recommended Use Of This Inspection Method By The NBIC Inspector. I've attached a copy of my report, the illustrations and the reference documents at the bottom of this e-mail.

Background: Bulging of the firebox sheet between the staybolt rows while the staybolts and staybolt heads remain in satisfactory condition is a serious condition. If the bulging action continues, it can result either in the firebox sheet rupturing or pulling completely off of numerous staybolts. Bulging usually is caused by the firebox sheet becoming overheated as result of the inability of the sheet to transfer the combustion heat rapidly into the water. The common causes for the loss of heat transfer and overheating are:

Scale buildup on sheet waterside.

Poor heat transfer caused by problems with water chemistry.

Excessive heat on the sheet fireside caused by over-firing.

Loss of water circulation on sheet waterside. This can result from conditions such as foaming of the boiler water or an obstruction on the waterside that reduces the rate of water circulation over the sheet.

Operation with insufficient water to cover the waterside surface of the sheet.

The bulging stops when the firebox sheet becomes cool after water circulation resumes over it. The resumption of the water circulation and cooling likely are the result of the following:

The obstruction or scale breaks off the firebox sheet waterside.

The foam bubbles become dissipated by the change in the water circulation pattern that the firebox sheet bulge creates.

The firing rate is reduced.

Proposed Action: RECOMMENDED USE OF THIS INSPECTION METHOD BY THE NBIC INSPECTOR 1. National Board inspectors can use my two formulas when inspecting and evaluating bulges

on stayed firebox sheets of historic and locomotive boilers. The formulas and terms are explained in detail in the section “Analysis Method. The calculations for results listed in Table #1 are in the section “Calculations for Table #1”. In addition, see Figures #1 & #2.

2. The primary formula is:

def = maximum bulging (deflection) of firebox sheet = 5 x W x p3 384 x E x I

(Ref: Machinery’s Handbook, 20th edition, 1978, Industrial Press, Page 412) This is the formula for calculating the deflection of a simply supported beam under uniform load. The deflection is calculated at the center of the beam and is the maximum value. The beam formula equates the bulge (the deflection of the firebox sheet) to the reduction to the modulus of elasticity of the firebox sheet material that the overheating causes. The modulus of elasticity, which is the ratio between unit stress to unit strain within the proportional limit of the firebox steel, is dependent on the firebox sheet temperature and becomes lower as the firebox sheet temperature increases. Therefore, by using the reduction of the modulus of elasticity as the primary variable for the calculation, the temperature that the firebox sheet was overheated to during the bulging event can be estimated. In addition, this method does not require the staybolt diameter be included in the calculations. Although for some configuration including the staybolt diameter would shorten the beam length and strengthen the beam, the staybolts are ignored to be both conservative and to simplify the work.

The terms and symbols used in the formula are:

I = calculated moment of inertia of the beam for deflection at its outermost face. For the

bulged firebox plate the beam width (b) represents a 1 in. (25 mm) wide section of the bulged firebox section. The beam thickness (d) equals the firebox plate thickness (t). The beam length (b) equals the staybolt pitch (p).

For reference the beam cross sectional area equals the 1 in. (25 mm) beam width (b) times the firebox plate thickness (t).

Page 24 of 46

Page 33: SUBCOMMITTEE ON INSPECTION Meetings/Agenda Inspe… · resume. A vote will be taken. Dr. Marshall Clark would like to become a member of the SG on Inspection General. Please see his

The beam moment of inertia “I” is calculated by the following formula: I = b x d3 = b x t3

3 3 (Ref: Machinery’s Handbook, 20th edition, 1978, Industrial Press, Page 379)

b = 1 in. (25 mm) width of the firebox sheet at the bulged section. This represents the beam width.

t = thickness of bulged firebox sheet. This represents the beam depth “d”.

p = longitudinal or vertical pitch of staybolts at the bulged firebox section MAWP = maximum allowable boiler pressure

W = total load on the 1 in. (25 mm) wide pitch length of the firebox sheet = MAWP x p x 1

in.

E = modulus of elasticity of the firebox steel at ambient temperature and normal operating temperature = 29,000,000 psi (199950 MPa). (Ref: Machinery’s Handbook, 20th edition, 1978, Industrial Press, Page 452 – see the value for common structural carbon steel)

Ex/x” = the reduced value of the modulus of elasticity of the firebox steel needed to obtain the

bulge depth found on the firebox sheet. Bulge Depth = the bulge depth found on the firebox sheet.

3. The inspection method I recommend the NBIC inspector use when evaluating a bulged

condition on a stay bolted firebox sheet is:

A. First determine the normal bulge depth (deflection) of the firebox sheet during its normal operating condition at MAWP and normal operating temperature. For this method the normal (standard) value of the modulus of elasticity of the firebox steel is used.

B. Then determine the reduction of the modulus of elasticity of the standard firebox steel that would be required to obtain the as-found bulged condition on the firebox sheet.

For this second calculation the following terms are used:

Ex/x” = the reduced value of the modulus of elasticity of the firebox steel needed to obtain

the bulge depth found on the firebox sheet.

Bulge Depth = the bulge depth found on the firebox sheet.

The first formula then is re-written to solve for the Ex/x” : Ex/x” = 5 x W x p3 .

384 x Bulge Depth x I NOTE:

Should it be necessary to determine bulge depth (deflection) of the firebox sheet at the first transition temperature of the firebox steel [approximately 1100° F (593°C)], a lower value of the modulus of elasticity of the standard firebox steel (E1) must be used in the first formula. The strength reduction to the modulus of elasticity of the firebox steel at the first transition temperature is 28% of the standard E value. (Ref: Machinery’s Handbook, 20th edition, 1978, Industrial Press, Page 454 “Table For Influence Of Temperature On The Strength Of Metals”). Therefore E1 = 28% x 29,000,000 = 8,120,000 psi (55985 MPa)

ANALYSIS METHOD Reference: Machinery’s Handbook, 20th edition, 1978, Industrial Press, Pages 358, 379, 412, 452 & 454 1. The bulged section of the firebox sheet is analyzed as a simply supported beam that is

uniformly loaded by the boiler pressure. Each end of the beam is assumed to be supported by the staybolt located at each end of it.

2. The beam width (b) is taken as a 1 in. (25 mm) wide section of the firebox sheet. The beam length (p) is the horizontal or vertical pitch distance of the staybolt pattern (the centerline distance of the two staybolts at the bulge location on the firebox sheet). The choice between the use of the horizontal or vertical pitch distance is dependent on the orientation of the bulge.

For reference the beam cross sectional area is a rectangle and equals the 1” beam width (b) times the firebox plate thickness (t).

3. The bending load on the beam (the bulged plate section) equals the staybolt pitch length (p)

times the boiler pressure (MWAP). To obtain the maximum bending stress for this analysis the concentrated bending load is assumed to be positioned at the beam centerline. This places it in the center (middle) of the staybolt pitch length.

4. The deflection of the beam (the bulged plate section) is calculated at its fireside surface. Therefore the reference location for the extreme fiber section of the beam is taken at the firebox plate’s fireside surface.

5. The staybolt diameter is not needed for this analysis method. Although including the staybolts would shorten the beam length and strengthen the beam, to be conservative the staybolts are ignored.

6. The variable for the beam calculation is the modulus of elasticity of the firebox steel. The modulus of elasticity, which is the ratio between unit stress to unit strain within the proportional limit of the firebox steel, is dependent on the firebox sheet temperature and becomes lower as the sheet temperature increases. This enables the bulging and weakening of the firebox steel by the overheating to be calculated by using the reduction of the modulus of elasticity as the primary variable for the calculation.

7. The primary formula is:

def = maximum bulging (deflection) of firebox sheet = 5 x W x p3 384 x E x I

This is the formula for calculating the deflection of a simply supported beam under uniform load. The deflection is calculated at the center of the beam and is the maximum value.

The beam moment of inertia “I” for deflection at its outer face is calculated by the following formula:

I = b x d3 = b x t3

3 3

b = 1 in. (25 mm) width of the firebox sheet at the bulged section. This represents the beam width.

t = thickness of bulged firebox sheet. This represents the beam depth “d” p = longitudinal or vertical pitch of staybolts at the bulged firebox section MAWP = maximum allowable boiler pressure W = total load on the pitch length of the firebox sheet = MAWP x p x 1 in. (25 mm) width

E = modulus of elasticity of the firebox steel at ambient temperature and normal operating

temperature = 29,000,000 psi (199950 MPa). (Ref: Machinery’s Handbook, 20th edition, 1978, Industrial Press, Page 452 -see the value for common structural carbon steel)

E1 = modulus of elasticity of the firebox steel at the first transition temperature

[approximately 1100° F (593°C)] and is 28% of the standard E value. (Ref: Machinery’s

Handbook, 20th edition, 1978, Industrial Press, Page 454 “Table For Influence Of Temperature On The Strength Of Metals”).

Therefore E1 = 28% x 29,000,000 = 8,120,000 psi (55985 MPa)

NBIC Item NB13-1701  

PROPOSED ALL NEW TEXT and NEW ADDITION to PART 2  

   2.3.6.6 INSPECTION OF WIRE WOUND PRESSURE VESSELS  (a) This section describes guidelines for inspection of wire wound pressure vessels.

Typically, wire wound pressure vessels are designed to allow for internal pressure to reach 80,000 psig with newer vessels having been designed and fabricated to ASME Section VIII, Div. 3. However, there are other wire wound pressure vessels which have been fabricated prior to the publication of ASME Section VIII, Div. 3 that have been installed as state specials. The scope of inspection should include components affected by repeated opening and closing, such as the frame, yolk and cylinder inner diameter surface, or alignment of the yolk with the cylinder, lack of maintenance and a check for inoperable or bypassed safety and warning devices.

 (b) Wire wound pressure vessels are a unique design where the containment or

enclosure for handling internal pressure is a thin walled, high strength steel cylinder or stainless steel cylinder that is externally wrapped with multiple layers of high strength steel wire. The purpose for this design is to minimize weight of the containment cylinder using thinner wall materials and using external wound wire to induce a compressive preload. This design also provides increased resistance to damage from fatigue loading. These vessels have been used in various industrial applications, the most frequent of these being isostatic pressing and hydrostatic extrusion. Isostatic pressing can be performed either cold temperatures, at room temperature, with liquid as the pressure medium, or hot, at temperatures of 2000 to 3300°Fwith gas as the pressure medium. In hot isostatic presses, the vessel wall is separated from the hot space by insulation, which keeps the vessel wall operating at a low temperature of approximately 120 to 180°F. Cold pressing is used for regular production at pressures up to 87,000 psi, hot pressing at pressures up to 29,000 psi. Hydrostatic extrusion is generally performed either cold, at room temperature, or warm, at temperatures up to 1110°F, in both cases with liquid as the pressure medium. Hydrostatic extrusion is used for regular production at pressures up to 200,000 psi.

 

 (c) Record keeping

(1) The history of the vessel’s cycles should be established. For vessels that are in service, records should be available that will provide a number or reasonable estimate of the cycles of past operations (design cycles). If such a record is not available, a fracture mechanics evaluation with a fatigue analysis test must be performed in order to determine the remaining life and number of cycles available to the vessel as well as the MAWP. The user must maintain these records going forward.

Page 37 of 46

Page 46: SUBCOMMITTEE ON INSPECTION Meetings/Agenda Inspe… · resume. A vote will be taken. Dr. Marshall Clark would like to become a member of the SG on Inspection General. Please see his

(2) Operating data should be recorded and include the following whenever the vessel is operating:

a. Number of cycles b. Pressure c. Temperature d. Any unusual conditions

(d) Due to the cyclic nature of operation of this type of vessel, in-service inspections should be occurring on the vessel parts based on the number of cycles these parts are subjected to. This can be determined by application of fatigue analysis techniques. The fatigue analysis study would be carried out prior to installing and using the isostatic press or vessel and cover all components that will carry stress. Following is an example of what the results of such a study would reveal as allowable cycles for a particular press: Columns 105 Cycles Wires of frames 105 Cycles Cylinder 80 X 103 cycles Wires of Cylinder 60 X 103 cycles Closure 40 X 103 cycles Press Plate 60 X 103 cycles Yokes 106 Cycles

The endurance of the above press is thus limited by the closure. The permissible number of cycles for this press may be set at 40,000. An acceptable factor of safety for the inspection interval varies between 0.25 and 0.5. The inspection interval for the above press would therefore be every 10,000 to 20,000 cycles, but not later than after five years of service. If, during one of the regular inspections, a crack or flaw is detected, an immediate study for the evaluation of the crack growth per cycle of operation would need to be conducted by means of fracture mechanics methods. The number of cycles would be calculated for the crack to reach critical dimensions leading to rapid catastrophic failure. With the application of safety factor 0.25, the number of cycles of operation until the next inspection could be established. The vessel would now have an established inspection cycle criteria that would need to be reviewed and verified. Other components of the vessel that should be regularly inspected include the following:  

(1) Review of the materials of construction to determine if the cylinder and heads are stainless steel or high strength steel for purposes of deciding on an appropriate surface examination method using either liquid penetrant or wet fluorescent magnetic particle test methods.

 (2) Review of original manufacturer inspection recommendations for the frame,

yolk, cylinder and heads, if available. Inspection frequency is based on either number of operating cycles or time (2 year or 5 year intervals) with specific inspection locations.

Because the high strength wire is not accessible, gage marks for elongation values based on a re-established wire tension from wire wrapping is provided. Some manufacturers use punch marks with calibrated gages to compare changes in elongation. Measurement of the cylinder inner diameter is obtained using a template or micrometer.

(3) Conduct annual visual and dimensional vessel inspections with liquid penetrant examination of maximum stressed areas to ensure that the surfaces are free of defects. Conduct ultrasonic examination of the vessel after every 25% of the design cycle life or every five years, whichever comes first, to detect subsurface cracks. Special attention Should be given to the roots of threads and closures using threaded head retention construction. Other geometric discontinuities that are inherent in the design or irregularities resulting from localized corrosion, erosion, or mechanical damage should be carefully examined. This is particularly important for units of monoblock construction.  

(4) The closure mechanism of the vessel end-closure is opened and closed frequently during operation. It should be closely inspected for freedom of movement and proper contact with its locking elements. Wire wound vessels must have yoke-type closures so the yoke frame will need to be closely inspected on a regular basis.  

(5) Should pitting, cracks, corrosion, or other defects be found during scheduled inspection, verify that an evaluation using fracture mechanics techniques is performed. This is to determine MAWP, cyclic life and extent of NDE frequency based on crack growth rate. 

(e)  Gages, Safety Devices, and Controls

(1) Verify that the vessel is provided control and monitoring of the pressure, temperature, electrical system, fluid flow, liquid levels, and all variables that are essential for the safe operation of the system. If the vessel is automatically controlled, manual override should be available. Also, safety interlocks should be provided on the vessel closure to prevent vessel pressurization if the vessel closure is not complete and locked.

(2) Verify that all safety device isolation valves are locked open if used.

(3) Verify appropriate pressure relief device is installed with relief setpoint at as low a pressure

as possible, consistent with the normal operating pressure but in no case higher than the design operating pressure of the vessel. Rupture discs are normally considered more suitable for these types of applications since pressure relief devices operating at pressures above 14500 psi may tend to leak by their seat.

(4) Verify that pressure and temperature of the vessel coolant and vessel wall is controlled

and monitored. Interlock devices associated with these monitoring devices that will deenergize or depressurize the vessel are strongly recommended due to the potential significant damage that can be caused by release of energy in the event of overpressurization due to excess pressure or temperature in the vessel.

(5) Verify audible and visual alarms are installed to indicate unsafe conditions.
