ASME VIII Calc - Shell - Heads

The document contains calculations to determine the minimum required thickness of a vessel shell and head according to ASME VIII Division 1 codes. For the shell, the minimum thickness is calculated to be 0.307 inches not at a weld and 0.361 inches at a weld. For the head, the minimum thickness is calculated to be 0.307 inches not at a weld and 0.362 inches at a weld. The corrosion allowance is 0.125 inches for both, resulting in total minimum thicknesses of 0.432 inches for the shell and 0.487 inches for the head.
