Ped Asme Comparision

The document summarizes the advantages of the new calculation methods in the EN 13445 Part 3 harmonized Pressure Vessel Standard compared to national standards. It allows for higher nominal design stresses for steels and stainless steels. It permits lower thicknesses for components like shells, domed ends, conical reducers, flanges, and heat exchanger tubesheets compared to codes like ASME. The direct route method in Annex B also ignores unnecessary secondary stresses. The conclusion is that EN 13445 is the most advanced standard and using it means greater competitiveness for European industry.

The advantages of the new calculation

methods provided in the harmonized


Pressure Vessel Standard EN 13445

Determination of the Nominal Design Stress
for Steels in Service Conditions
From the point of view of the nominal design stresses:

EN 13445.3 permits higher stresses for:

• Carbon and Low Alloy Steels


• Austenitic Stainless Steels
Nominal Design Stress for CS Plates with Rm=410 MPa
Nominal Design Stress for CS Plates with Rm=510 MPa
Nominal Design Stress for SS Plates type 304
Fine Grained Steels

For Fine Grained Steels the present issue


of EN 13445.3 still provides a safety factor
of 2,4 on the room temperature tensile
strength: the problem will be solved
shortly with an amendment already
approved.
Nominal Design Stress for Fine Grained Steels with Rp0,2 = 460 MPa
2,5 Cr- 1 Mo Steels

For Cr-Mo steels of large thickness


subject to heat treatment the values of the
ASME code are higher than the values in
the corresponding EN standards: these
values however are not guaranteed and
therefore they are not reliable.

Domed Ends

There is an advantage in using EN 13445.3


for domed ends, particularly at higher
pressures. At low pressure the formulae of
the ASME Code may be less conservative.
Minimum Thickness of Korbbogen End with PS=5 bar
Minimum Thickness of Korbbogen End with PS=10 bar
Minimum Thickness of Korbbogen End with PS=50 bar
Minimum Thickness of Korbbogen End with PS=100 bar
Cylinders under External Pressure

Either under vacuum or at higher external


pressures EN 13445.3 permits lower
thicknesses than ASME for a given
unsupported shell length.
Minimum Thickness of Stainless Steel Shell under Vacuum at 150°C
Minimum Thickness of Stainless Steel Shell under 10 bar
Ext. Pressure at 150°C
Conical Reducers of constant thickness

EN 13445.3 permits lower thicknesses


particularly at higher pressures. It also
permits greater angles without transition
knuckle.
Conical Reducers PS=5 bar
Conical Reducers PS=10 bar
Conical Reducers PS=50 bar
Flanges:
The alternative method of Annex G is a
definite progress in respect of the old Taylor
Forge and DIN methods. Although further
gasket parameters are needed, the savings in
thickness and weight may be substantial.

methods – Input Data for the Design
Minimum required Bolting Size / Flange Weight according to
different Methods for the 9 Examples
Heat Exchanger Tubesheets:
The alternative method of Annex J is a definite
progress in respect of the old Gardner’s
theory. The savings in thickness and weight
may be substantial, particularly for fixed
tubesheet heat exchangers.

methods – Input Data for the Design

DESIGN BY ANALYSIS:
The “Direct Route” of Annex B permits to
ignore secondary stresses in all cases where
there is no need to consider them (constant
loading conditions).This is a substantial
advantage in the design of structures where
the classic DBA (based on elastic analysis)
caused an unnecessary increase in thickness.
SECONDARY STRESSES AT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN A CYLINDRICAL SHELL
AND A CIRCULAR FLAT END
(Note: In DBA based on elastic analysis and stress categorization the Flat end
thickness must be increased in order to limit secondary stresses on the shell)
CONCLUSIONS
- EN 13445.3 is the most advanced Pressure Vessel
standard in the world.
- It permits substantial economies in Pressure Vessel
Construction.
- Using a single European Pressure Vessel standard
means a greater competitiveness for the European
industry: the most important Users and Notified Bodies
must be convinced that it is now time to replace the old
Pressure Vessel standards with EN 13445.
- All the resources of the interested industry must be put
on the further development of EN 13445: the further
development of the old national Pressure Vessel codes is
a waste of resources that goes against the interests of
Europe.
