Cover of Stress in ASME Pressure Vessels, Boilers, and Nuclear Components

An illustrative guide to the analysis needed to achieve a safe design in ASME Pressure Vessels, Boilers, and Nuclear Components

Stress in ASME Pressure Vessels, Boilers, and Nuclear Components offers a revised and updatededition of the text, Design of Plate and Shell Structures. This important resource offers engineers and students a text that covers the complexities involved in stress loads and design of plates and shell components in compliance with pressure vessel, boiler, and nuclear standards. The author covers the basic theories and includes a wealth of illustrative examples for the design of components that address the internal and external loads as well as other loads such as wind and dead loads.

The text keeps the various derivations relatively simple and the resulting equations are revised to a level so that they can be applied directly to real-world design problems. The many examples clearly show the level of analysis needed to achieve a safe design based on a given required degree of accuracy. Written to be both authoritative and accessible, this important updated book:

  • Offers an increased focus on mechanical engineering and contains more specific and practical code-related guidelines
  • Includes problems and solutions for course and professional training use
  • Examines the basic aspects of relevant theories and gives examples for the design of components
  • Contains various derivations that are kept relatively simple so that they can be applied directly to design problems

Written for professional mechanical engineers and students, this text offers a resource to the theories and applications that are needed to achieve an understanding of stress loads and design of plates and shell components in compliance with pressure vessel, boiler, and nuclear standards.

Cover of Fabrication of Metallic Pressure Vessels

Fabrication of Metallic Pressure Vessels

A comprehensive guide to processes and topics in pressure vessel fabrication

Fabrication of Metallic Pressure Vessels delivers comprehensive coverage of the various processes used in the fabrication of process equipment. The authors, both accomplished engineers, offer readers a broad understanding of the steps and processes required to fabricate pressure vessels, including cutting, forming, welding, machining, and testing, as well as suggestions on controlling costs.

Each chapter provides a complete description of a specific fabrication process and details its characteristics and requirements. Alongside the accessible and practical text, you'll find equations, charts, copious illustrations, and other study aids designed to assist the reader in the real-world implementation of the concepts discussed within the book.

You'll find numerous appendices that include weld symbols, volume and area equations, pipe and tube dimensions, weld deposition rates, lifting shackle data, and more.

In addition to detailed discussions of cutting, machining, welding, and post-weld heat treatments, readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:

  • A thorough introduction to construction materials, including both ferrous and nonferrous alloys
  • An exploration of layout, including projection and triangulation, material thickness and bending allowance, angles and channels, and marking conventions
  • A treatment of material forming, including bending versus three-dimensional forming, plastic theory, forming limits, brake forming, roll forming, and tolerances
  • Practical discussions of fabrication, including weld preparation, forming, vessel fit up and assembly, correction of distortion, and transportation of vessels

Perfect for new and established engineers, designers, and procurement personnel working with process equipment or in the fabrication field, Fabrication of Metallic Pressure Vessels will also earn a place in the libraries of students in engineering programs seeking a one-stop resource for the fabrication of pressure vessels.

Cover of Analysis of ASME Boiler, Pressure Vessel, and Nucl ear Components in the Creep Range, Second Edition
Many structures in chemical plants, refineries, and power generation plants operate at elevated temperatures where creep and rupture are a design consideration. At such elevated temperatures, the material tends to undergo gradual strain with time, which could eventually lead to failure. Thus, the design of such components must take into consideration the creep and rupture of the material. Analysis of ASME Boiler, Pressure Vessel, And Nuclear Components in the Creep Range introduces the general principles of design at elevated temperatures with extensive references cited for further in-depth understanding of the subject. Each chapter has been updated and a new chapter covering on Creep Analysis - Remaining Life Method (discussing the requirements of ASME Code FFS-1) has also been included. Numerous examples are included to illustrate the practical application of the design and analysis methods presented. The design approaches illustrated in this book are based on the experience of the authors over the past 40 years, and the methodology shown in the book will help the engineer accomplish a safe and economical design for boiler and pressure vessel components operating at high temperatures where creep is a consideration.
