39.pipe Cap Thickness Calculation: EVS-DC-AR-001 REV.01

This document contains calculations to determine the required thickness of a pipe cap and coupling rating selection. For the pipe cap, the minimum required thickness is calculated to be 5.837 mm based on the material properties and design pressure. This is less than the provided minimum thickness of 8.33 mm. For the coupling rating selection, calculations are shown to determine the minimum required thickness of 6.0475 mm for a DN 50 CLASS 3000 NPT coupling based on material properties and design pressure. Accounting for thread undercut, the resultant thickness is 3.5475 mm. Using the design formula, the maximum allowable working pressure is calculated to be 17.03 MPa, which is greater than both the

39.Pipe Cap Thickness Calculation


Dish head is a standard pipe cap and dimensions shall be as per ASME B16.9. As per UG-44, the pressure-
temperature rating shall be calculated as for straight seamless pipe in accordance with the rules of section VIII
Division 1.

Pipe cap size =DN 600( 24 NPS) Sch STD = Seamless pipe shell

Seamless pipe shell and pipe cap are having the same dimensions,. So required thickness calculated above
as per Appendix-1, Para 1-1(a) is a minimum for pipe cap

t = P Ro + C.A where E=0.85 & S=Allowable Stress for Pipe =118MPa


SE + 0.4P

t = (1.4 x 305) + 1.6

(118 x 0.85) +( 0.4 x 1.4)

= 4.237 + 1.6 = 5.837 mm

Min required thickness = 5.837 mm < Provided Minnimum Thickness 8.33 mm

39.Coupling Rating Selection Calculation


For N3 TO N6 DN 50-CLASS 3000 NPT coupling as per ASME B16.11 Ed 2005.

As per UG-44, for ASME B16.11 pipe fittings, the pressure temperature
rating shall be calculated as for seamless straight pipe; in accordance
with Appendix 1,Para 1-1(a) of CODE Section VIII Div1.

As per ASME B16.11-2005 Table 7, for DN 50 - CLASS 3000 NPT coupling,


Sch 160 to be used or pressure temperature rating.

P = Calculated Design Pressure = 1.4 MPa

Nozzle material = SA 105 M

S = Allowable Stress at design temperature @ 90 C = 137.9 MPa

CA = Corrosion Allowance = 1.6 mm

Outside Diameter of Straight Seamless DN 50 Sch 160 Pipe = 60.3 mm

Ro = Outside radius of Straight Seamless Pipe = 60.3 /2 = 30.15 mm


tn = Nominal thickness = 8.74 x 0.875 = 7.6475 mm
(Under Tolerance 12.5% as per Para 2.1.1 of ASME B16.11)

Corroded thickness, t = (7.6475 1.6) = 6.0475 mm

Thickness deduction due to thread undercut as per UG-31(c)(2)

DN 50 (2 NB , 8UN) i.e. n = 8 threads per inch.

Deducted thickness = 20 / n = 20/8 = 2.5 mm

Hence resultant thickness of coupling =6.0475-2.5 = 3.5475 mm

Joint Efficiency E = 1 (Seamless Pipe)

Using formula of Appendix-1, Para 1-1(a)


EVS-DC-AR-001 REV.01
Page 88 of 99
MAWP = S.E.t
(Ro 0.4 t)

MAWP = 137.9 x 1 x 3.5475 = 17.03 MPa > 1.4 MPa


(30.15 0.4 x 3.5475)

Also MAWP = 17.03 Mpa > MAWP of Vessel 1.4 MPa


So class 3000 coupling are found satisfactory
