Annex E.6: Examples of Stability Design Checks

Like in the preceding annexes, the following examples are intended to illustrate the procedure, modelling, problems, and solutions, in one specific design check, here the stability design check. Therefore, these examples deal solely with individual load cases that are related to this design check.

E.6.1: First S-DC of a jacketed stirring vessel

This example deals with one load case of a dished lower end of a jacketed stirring vessel, with geometry shown in Fig. E.6.1-1.


Figure E.6.1-1: Geometry of dished end.

The geometry shown in this figure is the one of the model.

Excerpt from the design data specification:

  • Maximum/minimum allowable pressure: [9]

    • PS = 4/-1 bar for the inner vessel; PS = 4 bar for the jacket

  • Maximum allowable temperature: [9]

    • TS = 152 C for inner vessel and jacket

  • Material:

    • EN 10028-7: X6CrNiTi18-10

  • Thickness allowances:

    • Corrosion/erosion: c = 0,

    • Tolerances: ? e = 0

  • Fabrication tolerances:

    • According to EN 13445-4

  • Insulation:

    • Yes

Thermal transients are slow enough such that non-stationary thermal stresses can be neglected

(Considered) Design Load Case

NOLC 3.1:

  • (Relevant) characteristic values of pressure:

    • Inner vessel: =0

    • Jacket: =0.42 MPa of which 0.02 MPa due to static head

  • (Relevant) characteristic values of temperature:

    • Inner vessel: =152 C

    • Jacket: =20 C

  • Heat transfer coefficients:


The corresponding load case specification, with derivation details, is given in Table E.6.1-1.
