A firetube boiler explosion on the Mississippi River steamboat Sultana on April 27, 1865, resulte

2、d in the boats sinking within 20 minutes and the death of 1500 soldiers going home after the Civil War. This type of catastrophe continued unabated into the early 1900s. In 1905, a destructive explosion of a firetube boiler in a shoe factory in Brockton, Massachusetts, killed 58 people, injured 117

3、others, and did $ 400000 in property damage. In 1906, another explosion in a shoe factory in Lynn, Massachusetts, resulted in death, injury, and extensive property damage. After this accident, the Massachusetts governor directed the formation of a Board of Boiler Rules. The first set of rules for th

4、e design and construction of boilers was approved in Massachusetts on August 30, 1907. This code was three pages long.In 1911, Colonel E. D. Meier, the president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, established a committee to write a set of rules for the design and construction of boiler

5、s and pressure vessels. On February 13, 1915, the first ASME Boiler Code was issued. It was entitled “Boiler Construction Code, 1914 Edition.” This was the beginning of the various sections of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, which ultimately became Section 1, Power Boiler.The first ASME Co

6、de for pressure vessels was issued as “Rules for the Construction of Unfired Pressure Vessels, ” Section , 1925 edition. The rules applied to vessels over 6 in. in diameter, volume over 1.5 ft3, and pressure over 30 psi. In December 1931, a Joint API-ASME Committee was formed to develop an unfired p

7、ressure vessel code for the petroleum industry. The first edition was issued in 1934. For the next 17 years, two separated unfired pressure vessel codes existed. In 1951, the last API-ASME Code was issued as a separated document. In 1952, the two codes were consolidated into one code-the ASME Unfire

8、d Pressure Vessel Code,Section . This continued until the 1968 edition. At that time, the original code became Section , Division 1, Pressure Vessels, and another new part was issued, which was Section , Division 2, Alternative Rules for Pressure Vessels.The ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code

9、 is issued by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers with approval by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an ANSI/ASME document. One or more sections of the ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code have been established as the legal requirements in 47 states in the United Stat

10、es and in all provinces of Canada. Also, in many other countries of the world, the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is used to construct boilers and pressure vessels.Organization of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is divided into many sections, d

11、ivisions, parts, and subparts. Some of these sections relate to a specific kind of equipment and application; others relate to specific materials and methods for application and control of equipment; and others relate to care and inspection of installed equipment. The following Sections specifically

21、伤和大量财产损失。在这次事故之后，马塞诸塞州州长指挥成立了锅炉规范委员会。1907年8月30日，设计和建造锅炉的第一套规范在马塞诸塞州得到批准。这个规范总共有三页。1911年，美国机械工程师学会主席Colonel E. D. Meier成立了一个委员会，专门起草锅炉和压力容器设计和建造的规范。1915年2月13日，第一部锅炉规范ASME被颁布。它被提名为锅炉建造规范：1914版。这是ASME锅炉和压力容器规范各篇的开始，最后变成了第一篇动力锅炉。第一个压力容器的规范ASME，是以1925版第VIII篇“不用火加热压力容器的建造规则”的名称颁布的。该规则适用于直径大于6英寸，容积大于1.5ft和

22、压力高于30Pa的容器。1931年12月，为了发展适合于石油工业不用火加热的容器规范，专门成立了APIASME联合委员会。第一版本在1934年颁布。在随后的17年时间里，存在两个独立的不用火加热容器规范。1951年，最后的APIASME规范以独立的文件颁布。1952年，两个规范合并成一个规范ASME不用火加热压力容器规范（第VIII篇）。这部规范一直延续到1968版。那时，原来的规范变为第一分篇压力容器（第VIII篇），第二分篇压力容器另一规则（第VIII篇）作为另外新的部分被颁布。经美国国家标准局（ANSI）批准，美国机械工程师学会以ASNI/ASME文件的形式，颁布了ASNI/ASME锅炉

23、和压力容器规范。ASNI/ASME锅炉和压力容器规范的一篇或多篇，已经在美国的47个州和加拿大的所有省中，以法律的形式确立。同样，在世界的许多其他国家，ASME锅炉和压力容器规范，也被用来建造锅炉和压力容器。ASME锅炉和压力容器规范的组成 ASME锅炉和压力容器规范分成许多篇，分篇，部分和辅助部分。在这些篇中，一些涉及到特定类型的设备和应用；另外的涉及特定的材料和设备应用与控制的方法；其余的涉及安装的设备的维护和检修。下面各篇特别涉及锅炉和压力容器个设计和建造。第一部分动力锅炉（1卷）第三部分第1节 核电厂部件（7卷）第2节 混凝土反应容器和控制（1卷）标准容器 案例1升温装置中的部件（在核

27、ive plastic deformation.(3) Brittle fracture.(4) Stress rupture/creep deformation (inelastic).(5) Plastic instability-incremental collapse.(6) High strain-low cycle fatigue.(7) Stress corrosion.(8) Corrosion fatigue.In dealing with these various modes of failure, we assume that the designer has at h

28、is disposal a picture of the state of stress within the part in question. This would be obtained either through calculation or measurements of the both mechanical and thermal stresses which could occur throughout the entire vessel during transient and steady state operations. The question one must a

29、sk is what do these numbers mean in relation to the adequacy of the design? Will they insure safe and satisfactory performance of a component? It is against these various failure modes that the pressure vessel designer must compare and interpret stress values. For example, elastic deformation and el

30、astic instability (buckling) cannot be controlled by imposing upper limits to the calculated stress alone. One must consider, in addition, the geometry and stiffness of a component as well as properties of the material.The plastic deformation mode of failure can, on the other hand, be controlled by

31、imposing limits on calculated stresses, but unlike the fatigue and stress corrosion modes of failure, peak stress does not tell the whole story. Careful consideration must be given to the consequences of yielding, and therefore the type of loading and the distribution of stress resulting therefrom m

32、ust be carefully studied. The designer must consider, in addition to setting limits for allowable stress, some adequate and proper failure theory in order to define how the various stresses in a component react and contribute to the strength of that part.As mentioned previously, different types of s

33、tress require different limits, and before establishing these limits it was necessary to choose the stress categories to which limits should be applied. The categories and sub-categories chosen wereas follows:A. Primary Stress.(a) General primary membrane stress.(b) Local primary membrane stress.(c)

34、 Primary bending stress.B. Secondary Stress.C. Peak Stress.The major stress categories are primary, sec9ondary, and peak. Their chief characteristics may be described briefly as follows:(a) Primary stress is a stress developed by the imposed loading which is necessary to satisfy the laws of equilibr

35、ium between external and internal forces and moments. The basic characteristic of a primary stress is that it is not self-limiting. If a primary stress exceeds the yield strength of the material through the entire thickness, the prevention of failure is entirely dependent on the strain-hardening pro

36、perties of the material.(b) Secondary stress is a stress developed by the self-constraint of a structure. It must satisfy an imposed strain pattern rather than being in equilibrium with an external load. The basic characteristic of a secondary stress is that it is self-limiting. Local yielding and m

37、inor distortion can satisfy the discontinuity conditions or thermal expansions which cause the stress to occur.(c) Peak stress is the highest stress in the region under consideration. The basic characteristic of a peak stress is that it causes no significant distortion and is objectionable mostly as

38、 a possible source of fatigue failure.The need for dividing primary stress into membrane and bending components is that, as will be discussed later, limit design theory shows that the calculated value of a primary bending stress may be allowed to go higher than the calculated value of a primary memb

39、rane stress. The placing in the primary category of local membrane stress produced by mechanical loads, however, requires some explanation because this type of stress really has the basic characteristics of a secondary stress. It is self-limiting and when it exceeds yield, the external load will be

40、resisted by other parts of the structure, but this shift may involve intolerable distortion and it was felt that must be limited to a lower value than other secondary stresses, such as discontinuity bending stress and thermal stress.Secondary stress could be divided into membrane and bending compone

41、nts, just as was done for primary stress, but after the removal of local membrane stress to the primary category, kit appeared that all the remaining secondary stresses could be controlled by the same limit and this division was unnecessary.Thermal stress are never classed as primary stresses, but t

42、hey appear in both of the other categories, secondary and peak. Thermal stresses which can produce distortion of the most complete suppression of the differential expansion, and thus cause no significant distortion, are classed as peak stresses.One of the commonest types of peak stress is that produ

43、ced by a notch, which might be a small hole or a fillet. The phenomenon of stress concentration is well-known and requires no further explanation here.Many cases arise in which it is not obvious which category a stress should be placed in, and considerable judgment is required. In order to standardi

44、ze this procedure and use the judgmentof the writers of the Code rather than the judgment of individual designers, a table was prepared covering most of the situations which arise in pressure vessel design and specifying which category each stress must be placed in.The potential failure modes and va

45、rious stress categories are related to the Code provisions as follows:(a) The primary stress limits are intended to prevent plastic deformation and to provide a nominal factor of safety of the ductile burst pressure.(b) The primary plus secondary stress limits are intended to prevent excessive plast

46、ic deformation leading to incremental collapse, and to validate the application of the elastic analysis when performing the fatigue evaluation.(c) The peak stress limit is intended to prevent fatigue failure as a result of cyclic loading. (d) Special stress limits are provided for elastic and inelas

47、tic instability.Protection against brittle fracture are provided by material selection, rather than by analysis. Protection against environmental conditions such as corrosion and radiation effects are the responsibility of the designer. The creep and stress rupture temperature range will be consider

48、ed in later condition. 应力类型压力容器设计者遇到的多种可能的失效形式：（1） 过度弹性变形包括弹性失稳。（2） 过度塑性变性。（3）（4）（5）（6） 脆性断裂。 应力断裂/蠕变变形（非弹性的）。 塑性不稳性增加失稳。 高应变低周期疲劳。（7） 应力腐蚀。（8） 疲劳腐蚀。在处理这些不同的失效形式上，我们假设设计者在局部问题的处理上，有一副应力状态图。这需要通过对机械和热应力的计算或测量来得到，它们（应力）在短暂稳定的状态操作期间，存在于整个容器中。有人会问，这些数据与设计的合理性有什么关系？它们能确保一个构件的安全和满意的性能吗？它与这些各种各样的失效形式对立，压力容

49、器设计者必须比较和说明应力值。例如，通过单独计算应力来强加上限，是不能控制弹性变形和弹性失稳。此外，还必须考虑构件的几何形状和硬度，以及材料的特性。从另一方面来看，塑性变形失效形式可以通过在计算的应力上强加极限来控制，但不象疲劳和应力腐蚀失效形式，峰值应力不做整体描述。必须对屈服结果进行仔细考虑。因此，载荷的类型和由那里引起的应力分布，必须被仔细研究。除了限制许用应力外，设计者还必须考虑一些适当的失效理论，来解释各种应力怎样在构件内起作用和对那些部分的强度所做的贡献。正如前面所涉及的，不同类型的应力需要不同的限制，在确定这些限制之前，选择应用于什么限制的应力类型是必要的。供选择的应力类型如下：

50、A、 主应力。（a）普通的薄膜主应力（b）内部薄膜主应力（c）主要弯曲应力B 副应力C 最大应力应力类型是主应力、副应力及最大应力。它们的主要特征简略描述如下：（a） 主应力是由施加载荷产生的应力，载荷在满足外部和内部的作用力和力矩之间的平衡规律是必要。一次应力的基本特征是自身不受限制。在整个厚度上，如果一次应力超过了材料的屈服强度，防止失效必须完全依赖材料的变形硬化性质。（b） 副应力是由结构的自身约束二产生的应力。它必须满足一个强加应变的式样，而不是与一个外载荷平衡。副应力的基本特征是自身受限制。局部屈服和较小变形，能够满足引起应力产生的不连续条件或者热膨胀。（c） 最大应力是所考虑范围内

51、的最高应力。峰值应力的基本特征，是不会引起大的变形和作为疲劳失效一个可能的源头是令人讨厌的。将主应力分成薄膜和弯曲部分的必要，以后再讨论，极限设计理论表明主弯曲应力的计算值允许高于主薄膜应力的计算值。然而，我们应该解释一下由机械载荷产生的局部薄膜应力的主要种类的位置，因为这种应力确实有副应力的基本特征。它是自身受限制的，而且当它超过屈服极限后，外载荷将受到结构的其他部分抵抗，但这种转变可能会产生严重变形，因此必须将它限制在比其他副应力更小的值，例如不连续弯曲应力和热应力。正如主应力那样，副应力被分为薄膜和弯曲部分，但是，在将局部薄膜应力归到主应力类型后，就会有所有剩余的副应力被相同的限制控制，

52、这种分划是没有必要的。热应力从来不被归类为主应力，但它却出现在其他两种类型中，副和最大应力中。能够通过大部分抑制小膨胀而产生变形，以及不会引起严重变形的热应力，被归为最大应力。最大应力的一个最普通的类型，是由缺口引起的，它可能是一个小洞或一条裂痕。我们都知道应力集中现象，这里不做进一步解释。许多情况出现在不明显的地方，一种应力该归纳为哪种，需要考虑到判断能力。为了使这个程序规范化，并且使用规范作者的判断法，而不是个别设计者的判断法，准备一份能够包括大多数情况的表格，这些情况出现在压力容器设计和详细说明中，每种应力都必须填入其中。潜在的失效形式和各种应力类型，与规范条款有如下的联系：a.主应力的

53、限制，目的是防止塑性变形，并在韧性爆破压力上提供一个名义安全因素。 b.主应力和副应力的限制，目的是防止导致失稳增加的过量塑性变形和做疲劳估算时，确认弹性分析的应用。c.最大应力的极限，目的是防止因周期载荷产生的疲劳失效。d.特殊应力的限制，提供给弹性和非弹性失稳。应对脆性断裂的保护，是通过材料的选择，而不是分析提供的。对环境条件比如腐蚀和辐射的保护，是每个设计者的职责。蠕变和应力断裂的温度范围，将在以后的章节中考虑。 Reading Material 18Packed TowersIn comparison with tray towers, packed towers are suited

54、 to small diameters (24 in. or less ), whenever low pressure is desirable, whenever low holdup is necessary, and whenever plastic or ceramic construction is required. Applications unfavorable to packings are large diameter towers,especially those with low liquid and high vapor rates, because of prob

55、lems with liquid distribution, and whenever high turndown is required. In large towers, random packing may cost more than twice as much as sieve or valve trays.Depth of packing without intermediate supports is limited by its deformability; metal construction is limited to depths of 2025 ft, and plas

56、tic to 1015 ft. Intermediate supports and liquid redistributors are supplied for deeper beds and at sidestream withdrawal or feed points. Liquid redistributors usually are needed every 2 . 53 tower diameters for Raschig rings and every 510diameters for Pall rings. But at least every 20 ft.The variou

They can be made in ceramics or plastics.(d) Is an example of a perforated pipe distributor which is available in
