1 Calculation of Offset Conical Shell Subjected to Internal Pressure
1.1 Overview
1.1.1 This chapter is applicable to the design calculation of offset conical shell only subjected to internal pressure. Offset conical shell is shaped as Figure 1.1.1-1 and Figure 1.1.1-2 and the semiapex α of offset conical shell changes gradually along the perimeter direction: α1 is larger one, and α2 is smaller one; when α2= 0°, it is a common case of equilateral oblique cone.
Ends connected with offset conical shell are cylinder shells, the center lines of the two cylinders are parallel, and the eccentric throw (e) shall satisfy the following requirements:
1.1.2 The conical shell semiapex α used in the calculation takes the larger one in α1 and α2, and the design calculation for offset conical shell is conducted with the method for equilateral conical shell stated in this chapter.
Figure 1.1.1-1 refers to offset conical shell without knuckle, and it is usually used for α ≤ 30°; when α> 30°, offset conical shell with knuckle shown in Figure 1.1.1-2 shall be adopted, but α ≤ 60°.
The butt joints connecting the offset conical shell and the cylinder at both ends must be welded by full penetration welding seam.
