Performs internal and external pressure design of conical sections and stiffening rings using the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1 rules, 2015 Edition, paragraphs UG-32, UG-33, and Appendix 1, Sections 1-5, and 1-7.

This module calculates required thickness and maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) for the cone under both internal and external pressure. Also calculated are the required thickness of the attached cylinders under either internal or external pressure and the required thickness of a transition knuckle.

The required area of reinforcement and actual reinforcement available are calculated for both internal and external pressures. Reinforcement is limited to the area available in the shell sections plus simple stiffening rings.

Corrosion allowance is fully considered. Enter actual thickness and corrosion allowance, and the software adjusts thicknesses and diameters when making calculations for the corroded condition.
