I have a case for designing an item like the above,
covering 40 inch to 100 inch in size. Can anyone help
me with the right source of piping component design
procedure / code (Boiler and pressure vessel code also
may be fine, if a proper clause is existing) for
designing the above. Each cover flange shall have
nozzle penetrations (size 3 inch and ¾ inch) for
filling the test fluid and for mounting the pressure
gauge respectively. The probable plate shall be of SA
516 Gr. 60 or Gr. 70.
1. What shall be the recommended basic thickness for
the plate?
2. How to account for the section modulus details of
the reinforcing frame, which shall be of ordinary
structural steel H-beam? The H beam section may start
from 6 inch upwards.
3. The frame patterns shall be a) cross, b) square or
a combination of both.
The test pressure is 6 barg.
The pipe is having internal lining with rubber.
The mating flanges are of ANSI B 16.47 Class D, PN 10
(Bar) / and AWWA C 207.
Early response is appreciated. Thanking in advance,
