Appendix A

(Normative) 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. A.2 Symbols The following symbols apply to this Appendix. A - Parameter, see Table A.1, mm. A1 - Cross-sectional area of the reinforcement on the short side panel, mm2. A2 - Cross-sectional area of the reinforcement on the long side panel, mm2. A3 - Parameter, see Table A.1, mm. ......
