WhereSu = Minimum Specified Tensile Strength
Fm = Material FactorFm = 1 for Grade A materialFm = 0.97 for Grade B material Fm = 0.92 for Grade C material
Fs = Temperature Factor (Use Table 6-7)
Fr = Stress Relief (SR) FactorFr = 1.06 When SR is applied
Fa = Radiographing FactorFa = 1.12 when Radiographing is applied and
subsequent repair of defects

2. ASTM A – 149 (under certain conditions)
3. Lethal gases application
4. Nuclear Reactor applications
LOGOSample Problem 1
A 12 in diameter S-2 Grade A steel has a working pressure and temperature of 500 psi and 300F respectively. Determine the type of weld to be used and plate thickness using Hesse and Rushton method. Assume zero corrosion allowance.
1 9 8 5
LOGOSample Problem 2
Grade A S2 steel, butt welded pressured vessel for lethal gas application has an inside diameter of 20 inches. If the working pressure is 900 psi and the working temperature is 250ºF, what is the shell thickness of the vessel? (Use minimum corrosion allowance and Hesse and Rushton method).

LOGOHEAD Configurations
Torispherical most common type of head used and usually the
most economical to form The I.C.R = I.D of the head or less
• between 90% to 95% of the I.D of the head The I.K.R = 6% and 10% of the I.C.R of the head The S.F = 10mm and 30mm
1 9 8 5
LOGOHEAD Configurations
2:1 Semi-Ellipsoidal deeper and stronger than a torispherical head more expensive to form than a torispherical head,
• but may allow a reduction in material thickness as the strength is greater
The I.C.R is 0.8 of the O.D of the head The I.K.R is 0.154 of the O.D of the head The S.F =10mm and 30mm
1 9 8 5
LOGOHEAD Configurations
Hemispherical allow more pressure than any other head most expensive to form The depth of the head is half of the diameter.
1 9 8 5
LOGOHEAD Configurations
Shallow Head commonly used atmospheric tanks not suitable for pressure vessels I.C.R =1.5 to 2.0 times the I.D of the head I.K.R = 32mm, 51mm or 76mm (depending on the
diameter and customer requirements) The S.F =10mm and 30mm

LOGOHEAD Configurations
Cones for Pressure Vessels The maximum internal apex angle for cones =120O
The I.K.R = 6% of the inside diameter of the vessel The S.F =10mm and 30mm

LOGOHEAD Configurations
Flat. A flat end with a knuckled outer edge used as bases on vertical atmospheric tanks and lids for
smaller tanks The I.K.R =25mm, 32mm and 51mm The S.F. = 10mm and 30mm
