1.0 SCOPE
This specification covers the general requirements for the design, fabrication, workmanship,
erection, inspection, testing and supply of unfired pressure vessels and is intended to
supplement the minimum requirements of the applicable codes.
Exception/ variation shown in the enclosed Data Sheet(s) and “Special Requirements” shall
prevail over those shown here. Bidder shall quote for the pressure vessels based on the
requirements given in this specification and the attached data sheets. Any items not listed in
this specification but considered necessary by Bidder shall also be included in the offer.
2.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Design
2.1.1 The Pressure Vessels shall be built by Bidder in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division-I and the requirements given below and in the attached
vessel data sheets including engineering drawings. The design/engineering work related to
preparation of fabrication drawings, weld joint and weld details, etc. shall be in Bidder's scope
of work.
Applicable standards:
(a) ASME Section- II

(b) ASME, Section VIII, Div-1- Bolier and pressure vessel code- Alternative rules
(c) ASME, Section VIII, Div-2- Bolier and pressure vessel code- Welding qualiifcations
(d) ASME, Section IX- Bolier and pressure vessel code- Welding qualifications
(e) ASME B16.47- Large diameter steel flanges
(f) ASME B16.5- Pipe flanges and flanged fittings
(g) WRC Bulletin 107- Local stresses in spherical and cylinderical shell due to external
loadings
(h) WRC Bulletin 297- Local stresses in spherical and cylinderical shells due to external
loadings- Supplement to WRC Bulletin- 107
(i) Indian Boiler regulations 1950
(j) The static and mobile pressure vessel (Unfired) Rules- 1981
2.1.2 The thickness of all major components like shell, head, nozzle etc., if specified in mechanical
data sheets, are to be followed strictly by Bidder. Otherwise, vessel manufacturer shall submit
designs for approval when Purchaser does not furnish a design or does not specify the
required plate thickness for different parts. The following shall be the basis for design
calculation
a) Pressure Vessel shall be designed to withstand the loadings exerted by internal or

external pressure, weight of the vessel, wind, earthquake, reaction of supports,
impact, and temperature. The maximum allowable working pressure shall be limited
by the shell or head, not by minor parts.
b) For all vessels, pressures shall be specified by following terms and values
i) Service / Operating Pressure

ii) Design Pressure / Maximum Service Pressure will be equal to :
- Service pressure + 1 Kg/Sq.Cm for maximum pressure below or equal to

10 Kg/Sq.Cm.
- Service pressure increased by 10% for maximum pressures above 10

Kg/Sq.Cm.
Page 3 of 16
SPECIFICATION NO.
FOR REVISION-00
Refineries Division
iii) Vesels operating under vacuum shall be designed for an external pressure of
1.055 Kg/Sq.Cm.
iv) First-test pressure will be applied before the vessel is put in operation and
shall be, unless otherwise indicated in the drawing, atleast equal to 1.3 times
the maximum allowable pressure of vessel in cold and new condition
(corrosion allowance not excluded while calculating the maximum allowable
pressure) so that it does not exceed 90% of the yield point of the material.
c) For all vessels, design temperature shall be atleast equal to :
i) Service temperature +15 Deg C for vessels whose temperature is above zero
Deg C.
ii) Minimum operating temperature for vessels whose temperature is below zero
Deg C.
d) All vessels shall be designed to be free standing. It will be assumed that wind and
earthquake loads do not occur simultaneously, thus the vessel should be designed
for either wind or earth-quake loading, whichever is greater.
Wind pressure shall be considered as per the following for the purpose of wind load
calculation (necessary changes as per specific site requirement may be considered
during design) :
0 - 30 m - 200 Kg/Sq.m
30 - 35 m - 208 Kg/Sq.m
35 - 40 m - 210 Kg/Sq.m
40 - 45 m - 217 Kg/Sq.m
45 - 50 m - 222 Kg/Sq.m
(e) Earth-quake loading shall be calculated as per IS-1893, latest edition.
f) Horizontal vessels supported by saddles shall be designed according to the method

of L.P. zick.
2.1.3 In no case the shell or head thickness be less than 6 mm exclusive of corrosion allowance.
2.1.4 Corrosion Allowance
a) Corrosion allowance to be used for carbon or low alloy steel vessels shall be
indicated on outline drawing. It shall be included in the speicified thickness, but shall
not be included in the strength calculations.
b) For fixed internal parts, corrosion allowance shall be applied to one face only.
c) For vessels having internal separation heads or water tight partitions corrosion
allowance shall be applied on both faces.
d) For vessels or parts or vessels whose content require an important corrosion

allowance, an internal protective lining should be considered for shells and dished
heads, by means of :
- Corrosion resisting lining.
Page 4 of 16
SPECIFICATION NO.
FOR REVISION-00
Refineries Division
- Cladding or lining of the basic steel plate with stainless metal at least 1/8" (3
mm) thick, unless indicated to the contrary on the drawing.
In the case of cladding or lining, nozzle necks, manholes, flange faces, covers, etc...
shall have an internal lining of same metal as used for shells and heads.
Unless otherwise indicated on the drawing, cladding or lining thickness shall not be
included in the strength calculations.
2.2 Vessel Supports
2.2.1 Vertical vessels shall be provided with skirt which shall have an outside diameter equal to the
outside diameter of the supported vessel. The minimum thickness of the skirt shall be 6 mm
exclusive of 1.5 mm corrosion allowance.
2.2.2 Skirts 1200 mm in diameter and less shall have one access opening; larger than 1200 mm
diameter skirts shall have two 450 NB access opening reinforced with sleeves.
2.2.3 Skirt openings for piping shall have a 1/2 inch (13 mm) maximum clearance between the pipe
OD and the skirt. Minimum of two 2 inch Vent holes shall be provided in the skirt at highest
possible location 180 degrees apart.
2.2.4 Skirt base ring shall be designed for an allowable bearing pressure on concrete of 625 psi.
Anchor bolt chairs or lug rings shall be used where required and in all cases where vessel
height exceeds 18 meters. The number of anchor bolts shall be in multiples of 4; a minimum
of 8 is preferred.
2.2.5 All horizontal vessels shall be supported by saddle supports fabricated to fit the outside
surface of the vessel within the tolerances required by the design to prevent excessive
localized stresses in the shell. Saddles should not be placed over vessel girth welds and are
to be continuously seal welded to the shell.
2.3 Nozzles and Manways
2.3.1 When the inside diameters of nozzles are specified, they shall be maintained. When the
inside diameters of manways are specified, they shall be considered as minimum.
2.3.2 Nozzles, manways and their reinforcements shall be attached to the vessel with complete
penetration welds.
2.3.3 Nozzles upto and including 50 mm NB in size shall be stiffened by 2 Nos. 40 X 6 mm thick
flats welded at 90 Deg. apart.
2.3.4 Nozzles flanges shall be as per ANSI B 16.5, type and rating as specified in drawings.
Substitution of Weld Neck type flanges with Slip-on type will not be permitted.
2.3.5 All manhole covers shall be hinged or provided with a davit along with suitable lifting handle.
2.3.6 External reinforcing pads shall have a minimum of one vent hole except that pads for nozzles
greater than 16 inch NPS shall have a minimum of 2 vents and nozzles in excess of 36 inch
(914 mm) NPS shall have 4 vents. Pads installed by sections shall have at least one vent per
section, for future plugging with a maximum 1/4 (6 mm) inch NPS hole.
2.3.7 Class 150 flanges are not permitted for design temperatures over 700 Deg.F or for pressure

SPECIFICATION NO.
FOR REVISION-00
Refineries Division
2.3.8 Integrally reinforced necks are preferred, although long welding neck flanges and built-up
construction are permissible. Caution shall be exercised for connection which must receive
equipment to insure that the inside diameter is large enough and the flanges match.
2.3.9 Where 125 Ra is specified for flange surface finish, the range for acceptance shall be 63 Ra
minimum to 250 Ra maximum. Finishes shall be judged by visual comparison with surface
finish roughness standards conforming to ANSI B 46.1. It is the Contractor's/Purchaser's
responsibility both to comply with the above finish requirements and to assure that such
flange finishes be protected from damage during shipping, storage and installation. Where
flange surface finish is not specified, it will be the responsibility of the manufacturer for
furnishing the gasket specification.
2.3.10 Lap joint flanges are not permitted in severe cyclic service. An example of severe cyclic
