Openings in Support Skirts

Support Skirt Openings Piping connections to vertical vessels often require additional piping and an opening cut out of the support skirt. COMPRESS includes the ability to specify and check the adequacy of this commonly encountered design detail. Circular pipe sleeves, internal projections, tilt angles, and skirt reinforcing pads can be considered. The ability [...]

Why Perform UG-99 Hydrotest Stress Calculations?

ASME UG-99 Hydrostatic Test Stress Calculations ASME Code paragraph UG-99 requires that all vessels undergo hydrostatic (or pneumatic) testing before Code stamping. As this test provides mechanical stress relief it may be thought of as the final step in the fabrication process. The UG-99 hydrostatic test is an effective way to screen for design, [...]

Why Specify Pressure Vessel Weld Seams?

The Advantages of Locating Pressure Vessel Weld Seams Although not required to perform basic (theoretical) ASME calculations, specifying weld seam locations when designing pressure vessels provides a number of practical advantages: Tall towers often require greater thicknesses near the bottom to resist wind and seismic loadings. Locating circumferential shell seams is [...]
