Pipe&Shell - Design - Tool Pipe and Shell

This document provides calculations for the design of a straight pipe with an outside diameter of 24 inches, wall thickness of 0.25 inches, and length of 12 inches. It calculates properties such as volume and weight. It then determines the required minimum wall thickness and maximum allowed internal pressure according to the ASME boiler and pressure vessel code. The results show the actual thickness and pressure are acceptable according to the code requirements.

Treq provides a worst case required thickness for nozzle analysis for a nozzle located on the long seam or circ seam
Check Not a thick walled vessel, calculations are valid
This sheet will not calculate thick walled vessels
The UG-16(b) minimum thickness requirement has not been taken into consideration here.
This sheet cannot be used to check for allowable exterior pressure loads.
