API 510 Case Study - 7

The document provides data and calculations for analyzing nozzle reinforcement for a new vessel. It determines: 1) The total area required for reinforcement is 2960 mm2. 2) The maximum reinforcement limits parallel and normal to the vessel wall are 320 mm and 30 mm respectively. 3) The extra reinforcement area available in the shell and nozzle is 240 mm2 and 330 mm2 respectively, for a total of 570 mm2. 4) An additional reinforcement pad is required, as the available area is less than required. The pad should have an outer diameter of 320 mm and thickness of 18 mm to provide the remaining 2390 mm2 needed.

CASE STUDY 7
NOZZLE REINFORCEMENT ANALYSIS

DATA:

A new vessel has the following data:

Shell thickness provided (t)= 20mm , corr. Allow=Nil.


Design shell thickness for seamless shell (tr)= 18.5mm
Nozzle thickness provided (tn)=12mm
Nozzle thickness for seamless pipe (trn)= 6.5mm
Finished nozzle opening (d)=160mm, Nozzle type=set on

Answer the following:

1) What is the total area required to be compensated (Ar)

2) What is reinforcement limit(X) parallel to vessel wall

3) What is reinforcement limit(Y) normal to vessel wall

4) What is extra area available in shell ( As)

5) What is extra area available in Nozzle

6) What is total area (Av) available inherant to the vessel (Av)

7) Is the additional reinforcement pad required for the nozzle?

8) What shall be the area ( Ap) to be provided by pad

9) What is the Max. pad O.D. possible?

10) If pad OD = 320 mm, what shall be pad thickness (tp)

NOZZLE REINFORCEMENT ANALYSIS

SOLUTION:

1) Total area required to be compensated (Ar)


Ar = d x tr = 160 x 18.5 = 2960 mm2

2) Reinforcement limit (X) parallel to vessel wall

X = 2d X = 2x160 . X = 320 mm

3) Reinforcement limit(Y) normal to vessel wall

Y = 2.5t or 2.5tn use smaller value


= 2.5 x 20 or 2.5x12 , Y=30.0mm

4) Extra area available in shell ( As)


As = d(t-tr) = 160 ( 20 – 18.5) = 240 mm2

5) Extra area available in Nozzle


An= Y ( tn-trn)x2 = 30 x (12 - 6.5)x2 = 330 mm2

6) Total area (Av) available inherant to the vessel (Av)


Av= (As + An) = 240 + 330 = 570 mm2

7) Is the additional reinforcement pad required for the nozzle?


Since Av < Ar , R.F. pad is required

8) Area ( Ap) to be provided by pad


Ap = Ar – Av = 2960 – 570 = 2390 mm2

9) Max. pad O.D. possible


Max. pad O.D. = X = 320 mm

10) If pad OD = 320 mm, pad thickness (tp)

tp = Ap = 2390 .
( pad OD – pad ID ) ( 320 – 188 )

tp = 16.4 mm ………… say 18 mm
