ASME 2010 Ed. Design related Updates

ASME Sec. VIII Div. 1 updates ASME Sec. II Part D Material updates ASME Sec. VIII Div. 2 updates

ASME Div. 1 Code Updates

App. 1-10 for nozzles
Alternate (to UG-37) procedure for nozzles

More accurate and typically a more economical design

Can allow nozzles to be closer than UG-37 method

Earlier only for Large nozzles

Now for all nozzles on Cylinders & Cones

Nozzle Design Options

Regular nozzle
Internal Pressure
UG-37 (Area Replacement) + Weld Strength per UG-41.1 Or Appendix1-10 + Welds per Div. 2 per 4.5.14

Large Nozzle nozzles > 40in on 60in dia. Cylinder/Cone

Appendix 1-7 (no internal projection) Or

Appendix 1-10

Appendix1-10 does not address External pressure case

Nozzle Design Options in PV Elite

Here is how to set it

ASME Div. 1 Code Updates

Flanges bolt spacing factor To limit leakage between bolts (in circumferential direction) Penalty factor which increases flange moments

Still using TEMA bolt spacing for TEMA exchangers

ASME Div. 1 Code Updates

New requirement for the Hydrotest UG-99(b) UG-99(b) says generally stress @ hydrotest is increased by 1.3 times Bolting is normally exempted the increase- Except Except in the case where 1.3 x Sa/Sb exceed 90% yield.

ASME Div. 1 Code Updates

Minimum neck thickness for manway / opening New in 2010 Edition Increase of the wall thickness already in PV Elite

But, less severe than a process nozzle.

ASME Div. 1 Code Updates

There are changes in required nozzle wall thickness UG-45 Formerly a calculation was required - Now there is a table instead

The Tubesheet Shell/Channel Joint

ASSUME SHELL SIDE IS HOT SIDE SHELL WANTS TO GROW (THERMAL) BUT IS RESTRAINED HERE

HOT FLUID

SO WHAT HAPPENS ?
10

This is what happens

Tubesheet to shell junction is a Critical stress point.

11

Elastic-Plastic Analysis for Floating Exchangers

But, Tubesheet may become thicker Allow small plastic yielding, allowable is approximately 3*S

Shell after plastic iteration

Very useful when tubesheet is ok but junction is overstressed.

( for Pressure cases )

Material Properties Changes

Section II Part D Material properties Material Allowable Database completely re-done Yield strength Youngs Modulus etc.

13

New Metric Material Database

Imperial Internal Database

Converted from Imperial to user units 20,000 psi = 137.90 MPa v/s 138 MPa
Difference is insignificant

Acceptable per ASME Div. 1 GG-1

But not per some inspectors

Solution : New Metric database

It will be possible to choose between

native Metric database

or Imperial to Metric database. To select one

ASME Sec. VIII Div. 2 Changes

ASME Div. 2 changes
Conical transition Lots of formulae/table changes Benchmarked cone-cylinder with ASME PTB-3

Flange spacing factor similar to Div. 1

Heat Exchanger changes to Div. 1

16

EN13445 European code

EN13445 2009 Update
welded flat heads

nozzles

tubesheet flanged extensions

17

Expanded EN HX. Functionality

Fixed and Floating Tubesheet Exchanger Analysis

Floating head and floating head flange analysis
