ASME: Thickness calculations of corrugated furnaces
ASME_Thickness_Of_Corrugated_Furnace
ASME - The maximum allowable working pressure on corrugated furnaces
The maximum allowable working pressure
on corrugated furnaces, such as the Leeds suspension
bulb, Morison, Fox, Purves, or Brown, having plain portions
at the ends not exceeding 9 in. (230 mm) in length
(except flues especially provided for), when new and
practically circular :
C = 17,300 (119), a constant for Leeds furnaces, when
corrugations are not more than 8 in. (200 mm)
from center to center and not less than 21/4 in.
(57 mm) deep
= 15,600 (108), a constant for Morison furnaces,
when corrugations are not more than 8 in.
(200 mm) from center to center and not less than
11/4 in. (32 mm) deep, and the radius of the outer
corrugation r, is not more than oneāhalf of the radius
of the suspension curve R (see Figure
PFT-18.1)
= 14,000 (97), a constant for Fox furnaces, when corrugations
are not more than 8 in. (200 mm) from
center to center and not less than 11/2 in.
(38 mm) deep
= 14,000 (97), a constant for Purves furnaces, when
rib projections are not more than 9 in. (230 mm)
from center to center and not less than 13/8 in.
(35 mm) deep
= 14,000 (97), a constant for Brown furnaces, when
corrugations are not more than 9 in. (230 mm)
from center to center and not less than 15/8 in.
(41 mm) deep
D = mean diameter
P = maximum allowable working pressure
t = thickness, not less than 5/16 in. (8 mm) for Leeds,
Morison, Fox, and Brown, and not less than 7/16 in.
(11 mm) for Purves furnaces
