Non-circular cross-section vessels
A.1 General
A.1.1 This Appendix specifies the design, manufacture, and acceptance of non-circular
cross-section vessels.
A.1.2 The design method given in this Appendix is applicable to vessels with
rectangular, oblong, elliptical cross-section shapes, as shown in Figures A.1 ~ A.8 and
A.10 ~ A.14.For non-circular vessels with other cross-section shapes, other methods
can be used to calculate membrane stress and bending stress, which are then verified
according to the strength conditions of this Appendix.
A.1.3 The calculation formula in this Appendix only considers the membrane stress and
bending stress caused by internal pressure loads. For local stresses caused by other
mechanical loads (such as the reaction force generated by supports, pipes or other
components) and thermal stresses, other appropriate methods shall be used for
calculation; the strength conditions can be determined according to A.3.
A.1.4 The calculation formula in this Appendix is applicable to the case where the
aspect ratio of the vessel (the ratio of the vessel length to the length of the inner long
side or the long axis of the cross section) is greater than 4.For vessels with an aspect
ratio of less than 4, the formula in this Appendix can still be used for calculation, but
the result will be conservative. If the strengthening effect of the end cover is considered,
a more accurate method can also be used for design calculation.
A.1.5 When designing and calculating the vessel according to this Appendix, the
structural dimensions (such as thickness, reinforcement dimensions, etc.) shall be
determined first; then the stress calculation and verification shall be carried out as
required, until the strength requirements are met.
