Cone Design Tool

This document provides a summary of calculations for the required thickness and maximum allowable pressure of a conical section based on ASME code requirements. Key details include dimensions of 12 inches for the outside diameter of the large end, 8 inches for the small end, and a thickness of 0.25 inches. The material is SA-240 304 steel with an allowable stress of 20,000 psi. Calculations show a required thickness of 0.025 inches and maximum allowable pressure of 801.8 psi meet the code requirements.

6 Dimensions:
12.000 ODL [in] - outside diameter of large end ODS
7

8 8.000 ODS [in] - outside diameter of small end


9 0.250 t [in] - thickness
10 12.000 L [in] -length Ln
11 0.010 Corr [in] - corrosion allowance Length
P
12 Material and Conditions: t
13 SA-240 304 Material
14 20,000 S [psi] - allowable stress
15 1.00 E - long seam efficiency
16 50.0 P [psi] - interior pressure ODL

17 Calculated Properties:
18 Approx. cone weight based on steel, lbs = 26.4
19 Approx. cone volume , cuft = 0.50
20 a [rad] = ATAN((ODL-ODS)/(2*L)) ~~ alpha angle in radians ATAN((12-8)/(2*12)) = 0.165
21 angle [deg] = Degrees(a) ~~ alpha angle in degrees DEGREES(0.165) = 9.462
22 nt [in] = t-Corr ~~ thickness with corrosion allowance removed 0.25-0.01 = 0.240
23 Required Thickness: VIII-1 UG-32(g)
24 Treq [in] = P*ODL/(2*COS(a)*(S*E+0.4*P)) + Corr ~~required minimum thickness
25 50*12/(2*COS(0.165)*(20000*1+0.4*50)) + 0.01 = 0.025
26 CheckTreq = Treq <= t 0.025 <= 0.25 = Acceptable
27 Maximum Pressure: VIII-1 UG-32(g)
28 Pmax [psi] = 2*S*E*nt*cos(a)/(ODL-0.8*nt*cos(a)) ~~maximum allowed design pressure
29 2*20000*1*0.24*COS(0.165)/(12-0.8*0.24*COS(0.165)) = 801.8
30 CheckPMax = Pmax >= P 801.8 >= 50 = Acceptable
31 T provides a worst case required thickness for nozzle analysis for a nozzle located on the large end of the cone and located
32 on the long seam weld.
33 The UG-16(b) minimum thickness requirement has not been taken into consideration here.
34 Discontinuity checks which are required for each end of the cone when it is welded to a straight shell are not included
35 in this sheet.
36 This sheet cannot be used to check for allowable exterior pressure loads.
