ANNEX 4.D
GUIDANCE TO ACCOMMODATE LOADINGS PRODUCED BY
DEFLAGRATION
(NORMATIVE)
4.D.1 Scope
When an internal vapor-air or dust-air deflagration is defined by the user or his designated agent as a load
condition to be considered in the design, this Annex provides guidance for the designer to enhance the ability
of a pressure vessel to withstand the forces produced by such conditions.
4.D.2 General
Deflagration is the propagation of a combustion zone at a velocity that is less than the speed of sound in the
unreacted medium, whereas detonation is the propagation of a combustion zone at a velocity that is greater
than the speed of sound in the unreacted medium. A detonation can produce significant dynamic effects in
addition to pressure increases of great magnitude and very short duration, and is outside the scope of this
Annex. This Annex only addresses the lower and slower loadings produced by deflagrations that propagate in
a gas-phase.
The magnitude of the pressure rise produced inside the vessel by a deflagration is predictable with
reasonable certainty. Unvented deflagration pressures can be predicted with more certainty then vented
deflagration pressures. Methods are provided in the references listed in 4.D.5 to bound this pressure rise.
Other methods may also be used to determine pressure rise.
4.D.3 Design Limitations
The limits of validity for deflagration pressure calculations are described in References [1] and [2].
4.D.4 Design Criteria
4.D.4.1 Safety Margin
As described in NFPA-69, (see Reference [1]), a vessel may be designed to withstand the loads produced by
a deflagration:
a) without significant permanent deformation; or
b) without rupture (see Reference [3]).
A decision between these two design criteria should be made by the user or his designated agent based
upon the likelihood of the occurrence and the consequences of significant deformation. It is noted that either
(a) or (b) above will result in stresses for a deflagration that are larger than the basic Code allowable stress
listed in Section II, Part D. Because of this, appropriate design details and nondestructive examination
requirements shall be agreed upon between the user and designer.
These two criteria are very similar in principle to the Level C and Level D criteria, respectively, contained in
Section III, Subsection NB for use with Class 1 vessels, (see References [4] and [5]). The limited guidance in
NFPA 69 requires the application of technical judgments made by knowledgeable designers experienced in
the selection and design of appropriate details. The Level C and Level D criteria in Section III provide the
detailed methodology for design and analysis. The successful use of either NFPA 69 or Section III criteria for
deflagration events requires the selection of materials for construction the will not fail because of brittle
fracture during the deflagration pressure excursions.
2010 SECTION VIII, DIVISION 2
4-466
4.D.4.2 Likelihood of Occurrence
For vapor-air and dust-air combustion, various methods of reducing the likelihood of occurrence are
described in Reference [2]. It is good engineering practice to minimize the likelihood of occurrence of these
events, regardless of the capability of the vessel to withstand them.
4.D.4.3 Consequences of Occurrence
In deciding between designing to prevent significant permanent deformation (see 4.D.4.1.a) or designing to
prevent rupture (see 4.D.4.1.b), the consequences of significant distortion of the pressure boundary should
be considered. Either the aforementioned NFPA or Section III design criteria may be used: Each has been
used successfully.
4.D.4.4 Strain Concentration
When developing a design to withstand either of the criteria sited above, the designer should avoid creating
weak sections in the vessel at which strain can be concentrated. Examples of design details to avoid are
partial penetration pressure boundary welds, cone to cylinder junctions without transition knuckles, large
openings in heads or cylindrical shells which require special design consideration etc.

5.1 General Requirements
5.1.1 Scope
5.1.1.1 The design requirements for application of the design-by-analysis methodology of this Division
are described in Part 5. Detailed design procedures utilizing the results from a stress analysis are provided to
evaluate components for plastic collapse, local failure, buckling, and cyclic loading. Supplemental
requirements are provided for the analysis of bolts, perforated plates and layered vessels. Procedures are
also provided for design using the results from an experimental stress analysis, and for fracture mechanics
evaluations.
5.1.1.2 The design-by-analysis requirements are organized based on protection against the failure
modes listed below. The component shall be evaluated for each applicable failure mode. If multiple
assessment procedures are provided for a failure mode, only one of these procedures must be satisfied to
qualify the design of a component.
a) Protection Against Plastic Collapse – these requirements apply to all components where the thickness
and configuration of the component is established using design-by-analysis rules.
b) Protection Against Local Failure – these requirements apply to all components where the thickness and
configuration of the component is established using design-by-analysis rules. It is not necessary to
evaluate the local strain limit criterion if the component design is in accordance with Part 4 (i.e.
component wall thickness and weld detail per paragraph 4.2).
c) Protection Against Collapse From Buckling – these requirements apply to all components where the
thickness and configuration of the component is established using design-by-analysis rules and the
applied loads result in a compressive stress field.
d) Protection Against Failure From Cyclic Loading – these requirements apply to all components where the
thickness and configuration of the component is established using design-by-analysis rules and the
applied loads are cyclic. In addition, these requirements can also be used to qualify a component for
cyclic loading where the thickness and size of the component are established using the design-by-rule
requirements of Part 4.
5.1.1.3 The design-by-analysis procedures in Part 5 may only be used if the allowable stress from Annex
3.A evaluated at the design temperature is governed by time-independent properties unless otherwise noted
in a specific design procedure. If the allowable stress from Annex 3.A evaluated at the design temperature is
governed by time-dependent properties and the fatigue screening criteria of paragraph 5.5.2.2 are satisfied,
the elastic stress analysis procedures in paragraphs 5.2.2, 5.3.2, 5.6, 5.7.1, 5.7.2, and 5.8 may be used.
5.1.2 Numerical Analysis
5.1.2.1 The design-by-analysis rules in Part 5 are based on the use of results obtained from a detailed
stress analysis of a component. Depending on the loading condition, a thermal analysis to determine the
temperature distribution and resulting thermal stresses may also be required.
5.1.2.2 Procedures are provided for performing stress analyses to determine protection against plastic
collapse, local failure, buckling, and cyclic loading. These procedures provide the necessary details to obtain
a consistent result with regards to development of loading conditions, selection of material properties, post-
processing of results, and comparison to acceptance criteria to determine the suitability of a component.
5.1.2.3 Recommendations on a stress analysis method, modeling of a component, and validation of
analysis results are not provided. While these aspects of the design process are important and shall be
considered in the analysis, a detailed treatment of the subject is not provided because of the variability in
approaches and design processes. However, an accurate stress analysis including validation of all results
shall be provided as part of the design.
2010 SECTION VIII, DIVISION 2
5-4
5.1.2.4 The following material properties for use in the stress analysis shall be determined using the data
and material models in Part 3.
a) Physical properties – Young’s Modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, thermal
diffusivity, density, Poisson’s ratio
b) Strength Parameters – Allowable stress, minimum specified yield strength, minimum specified tensile
strength
c) Monotonic Stress-Strain Curve – elastic perfectly plastic and elastic-plastic true stress-strain curve with
strain hardening
d) Cyclic Stress-Strain Curve – Stabilized true stress-strain amplitude curve
5.1.3 Loading Conditions
5.1.3.1 All applicable applied loads on the component shall be considered when performing a design-by-
analysis. Supplemental loads shall be considered in addition to the applied pressure in the form of applicable
load cases. If the load case varies with time, a loading histogram shall be developed to show the time
variation of each specific load. The load case definition shall be included in the User’s Design Specification.
An overview of the supplemental loads and loading conditions that shall be considered in a design are shown
in Table 5.1.
5.1.3.2 Load case combinations shall be considered in the analysis. Typical load descriptions are
provided in Table 5.2. Load case combinations for elastic analysis, limit load analysis, and elastic plastic
analysis are shown in Tables 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5, respectively. In evaluating load cases involving the pressure
term,
P , the effects of the pressure being equal to zero shall be considered. The applicable load case
combinations shall be considered in addition to any other combinations defined in the User’s Design
Specification.
5.1.3.3 If any of the loads vary with time, a loading histogram shall be developed to show the time
variation of each specific load. The loading histogram shall include all significant operating temperatures,
pressures, supplemental loads, and the corresponding cycles or time periods for all significant events that are
applied to the component. The following shall be considered in developing the loading histogram.
a) The number of cycles associated with each event during the operation life, these events shall include
start-ups, normal operation, upset conditions, and shutdowns.
b) When creating the histogram, the history to be used in the assessment shall be based on the anticipated
sequence of operation. When it is not possible or practical to develop a histogram based on the actual
sequence of operation, a histogram may be used that bounds the actual operation. Otherwise, the cyclic
evaluation shall account for all possible combinations of loadings.
c) Applicable loadings such as pressure, temperature, supplemental loads such as weight, support
displacements, and nozzle reaction loadings.
d) The relationship between the applied loadings during the time history.
5.2 Protection Against Plastic Collapse
5.2.1 Overview
5.2.1.1 Three alternative analysis methods are provided for evaluating protection against plastic
collapse. A brief description of these analysis methodologies is provided below.
a) Elastic Stress Analysis Method – Stresses are computed using an elastic analysis, classified into
categories, and limited to allowable values that have been conservatively established such that a plastic
collapse will not occur.
标准分享网 www.bzfxw.com 免费下载
2010 SECTION VIII, DIVISION 2
5-5
b) Limit-Load Method – A calculation is performed to determine a lower bound to the limit load of a
component. The allowable load on the component is established by applying design factors to the limit
load such that the onset of gross plastic deformations (plastic collapse) will not occur.
c) Elastic-Plastic Stress Analysis Method – A collapse load is derived from an elastic-plastic analysis
considering both the applied loading and deformation characteristics of the component. The allowable
load on the component is established by applying design factors to the plastic collapse load.
5.2.1.2 For components with a complex geometry and/or complex loading, the categorization of stresses
requires significant knowledge and judgment. This is especially true for three-dimensional stress fields.
Application of the limit load or elastic-plastic analysis methods in paragraphs 5.2.3 and 5.2.4, respectively, is
recommended for cases where the categorization process may produce ambiguous results.
5.2.1.3 The use of elastic stress analysis combined with stress classification procedures to demonstrate
structural integrity for heavy-wall
()
/4Rt
≤
pressure containing components, especially around structural
discontinuities, may produce non-conservative results and is not recommended. The reason for the non-
conservatism is that the nonlinear stress distributions associated with heavy wall sections are not accurately
represented by the implicit linear stress distribution utilized in the stress categorization and classification
procedure. The misrepresentation of the stress distribution is enhanced if yielding occurs. For example, in
cases where calculated peak stresses are above yield over a through thickness dimension which is more
than five percent of the wall thickness, linear elastic analysis may give a non-conservative result. In these
cases, the elastic-plastic stress analysis procedures in paragraphs 5.2.3 or 5.2.4 shall be used.
5.2.1.4 The structural evaluation procedures based on elastic stress analysis in paragraph 5.2.2 provide
an approximation of the protection against plastic collapse. A more accurate estimate of the protection
against plastic collapse of a component can be obtained using elastic-plastic stress analysis to develop limit
and plastic collapse loads. The limits on the general membrane equivalent stress, local membrane
equivalent stress and primary membrane plus primary bending equivalent stress in paragraph 5.2.2 have
been placed at a level which conservatively assures the prevention of collapse as determined by the
principles of limit analysis. These limits need not be satisfied if the requirements of paragraph 5.2.3 or
paragraph 5.2.4 are satisfied.
5.2.2 Elastic Stress Analysis Method
5.2.2.1 Overview
To evaluate protection against plastic collapse, the results from an elastic stress analysis of the component
subject to defined loading conditions are categorized and compared to an associated limiting value. The
basis of the categorization procedure is described below.
a) A quantity known as the equivalent stress is computed at locations in the component and compared to
an allowable value of equivalent stress to determine if the component is suitable for the intended design
conditions. The equivalent stress at a point in a component is a measure of stress, calculated from
stress components utilizing a yield criterion, which is used for comparison with the mechanical strength
properties of the material obtained in tests under uniaxial load.
b) The maximum distortion energy yield criterion shall be used to establish the equivalent stress. In this
case, the equivalent stress is equal to the von Mises equivalent stress given by Equation.(5.1)

5.2.2.2 Stress Categorization
The three basic equivalent stress categories and associated limits that are to be satisfied for plastic collapse
are defined below. The terms general primary membrane stress, local primary membrane stress, primary
2010 SECTION VIII, DIVISION 2
5-6
bending stress, secondary stress, and peak stress used for elastic analysis are defined in the following
paragraphs. The design loads to be evaluated and the allowable stress limits are provided in Table 5.3.
Stress limits for the pressure test condition are covered in paragraph 4.1.6.2.
a) General Primary Membrane Equivalent Stress
(
)
m
P
1) The general primary membrane equivalent stress (see Figure 5.1) is the equivalent stress, derived
from the average value across the thickness of a section, of the general primary stresses produced
by the design internal pressure and other specified mechanical loads but excluding all secondary
and peak stresses.
2) Examples of this stress category for typical pressure vessel components are shown in Table 5.6.
b) Local Primary Membrane Equivalent Stress
(
)
L
P
1) The local primary membrane equivalent stress (see Figure 5.1) is the equivalent stress, derived
from the average value across the thickness of a section, of the local primary stresses produced by
the design pressure and specified mechanical loads but excluding all secondary and peak stresses.
A region of stress in a component is considered as local if the distance over which the equivalent
stress exceeds
1.1S does not extend in the meridional direction more than
R
t .
2) Regions of local primary membrane stress that exceed
1.1S shall be separated in the meridional
direction by a distance greater than or equal to

primary membrane stress, such as those resulting from concentrated loads on support brackets,
where the membrane stress exceeds
1.1S , shall be spaced so that there is not an overlapping
area in which the membrane stress exceeds
1.1S .
3) Examples of this stress category for typical pressure vessel components are shown in Table 5.6.
c) Primary Membrane (General or Local) Plus Primary Bending Equivalent Stress
(
)
Lb
PP+
1) The Primary Membrane (General or Local) Plus Primary Bending Equivalent Stress (see Figure 5.1)
is the equivalent stress, derived from the highest value across the thickness of a section, of the
linearized general or local primary membrane stresses plus primary bending stresses produced by
design pressure and other specified mechanical loads but excluding all secondary and peak
stresses.
2) Examples of this stress category for typical pressure vessel components are shown in Table 5.6.
5.2.2.3 Linearization of Stress Results for Stress Classification
Results from an elastic stress analysis can be used to compute the equivalent linearized membrane and
bending stresses for comparison to the limits in paragraph 5.2.2.4 using the methods described in Annex 5.A.
5.2.2.4 Assessment Procedure
To determine the acceptability of a component, the computed equivalent stresses given in paragraph 5.2.2.2
for a component subject to loads shall not exceed the specified allowable values. A schematic illustrating the
categorization of equivalent stresses and their corresponding allowable values is shown in Figure 5.1. The
following procedure is used to compute and categorize the equivalent stress at a point in a component (see
paragraph 5.2.2.3), and to determine the acceptability of the resulting stress state.
a) STEP 1 – Determine the types of loads acting on the component. In general, separate load cases are
analyzed to evaluate "load-controlled" loads such as pressure and externally applied reactions due to
weight effects and "strain-controlled" loads resulting from thermal gradients and imposed displacements.
The loads to be considered in the design shall include, but not be limited to, those given in Table 5.1.
标准分享网 www.bzfxw.com 免费下载
2010 SECTION VIII, DIVISION 2
5-7
The load combinations that shall be considered for each loading condition shall include, but not be
limited to those given in Table 5.3.
b) STEP 2 – At the point on the vessel that is being investigated, calculate the stress tensor (six unique
components of stress) for each type of load. Assign each of the computed stress tensors to one or to a
group of the categories defined below. Assistance in assigning each stress tensor to an appropriate
category for a component can be obtained by using Figure 5.1 and Table 5.6. Note that the equivalent
stresses
Q
and
F
do not need to be determined to evaluate protection against plastic collapse.
However, these components are needed for fatigue and ratcheting evaluations that are based on elastic
stress analysis (see paragraphs 5.5.3 and 5.5.6, respectively).
1) General primary membrane equivalent stress –
m
P
2) Local primary membrane equivalent stress –
L
P
3) Primary bending equivalent stress –
b
P
4) Secondary equivalent stress –
Q
5) Additional equivalent stress produced by a stress concentration or a thermal stress over and above
the nominal
()
PQ+ stress level – F
c) STEP 3 – Sum the stress tensors (stresses are added on a component basis) assigned to each
equivalent stress category. The final result is a stress tensor representing the effects of all the loads
assigned to each equivalent stress category. Note that in applying STEPs in this paragraph, a detailed
stress analysis performed using a numerical method such as finite element analysis typically provides a
combination of
L
P +
b
P and
Lb
PPQF+++ directly.
1) If a load case is analyzed that includes only "load-controlled" loads (e.g. pressure and weight
effects), the computed equivalent stresses shall be used to directly represent the
m
P ,
Lb
PP
+
, or
Lb
PPQ++. For example, for a vessel subject to internal pressure with an elliptical head;
m
P equivalent stresses occur away from the head to shell junction, and
L
P and
Lb
PPQ++
equivalent stresses occur at the junction.
2) If a load case is analyzed that includes only "strain-controlled" loads (e.g. thermal gradients), the
computed equivalent stresses represent
Q alone; the combination
Lb
PPQ
+
+ shall be derived
from load cases developed from both "load-controlled" and "strain-controlled" loads.
3) If the stress in category
F is produced by a stress concentration or thermal stress, the quantity F
is the additional stress produced by the stress concentration in excess of the nominal membrane
plus bending stress. For example, if a plate has a nominal primary membrane equivalent stress of
e

d) STEP 4 – Determine the principal stresses of the sum of the stress tensors assigned to the equivalent
stress categories, and compute the equivalent stress using Equation (5.1).

their corresponding allowable values (see paragraph 5.2.2.2).

5.2.3 Limit-Load Analysis Method
5.2.3.1 Overview
a) Limit-load analysis addresses the failure modes of ductile rupture and the onset of gross plastic
deformation (plastic collapse) of a structure. As defined in the following paragraphs, it provides one
option to protect a vessel or component from plastic collapse. It is to be applied to single or multiple
static loading, applied in any specified order. Limit-load analysis provides an alternative to elastic
analysis and stress linearization and the satisfaction of primary stress limits in paragraphs 5.2.2.2.
b) Displacements and strains indicated by a limit analysis solution have no physical meaning. If the User’s
Design Specification requires a limit on such variables, the procedures in paragraph 5.2.4 shall be used
to satisfy these requirements.
c) Protection against plastic collapse using limit load analysis is based on the theory of limit analysis that
defines a lower bound to the limit load of a structure as the solution of a numerical model with the
following properties:
1) The material model is elastic-perfectly plastic with a specified yield strength.
2) The strain-displacement relations are those of small displacement theory.
3) Equilibrium is satisfied in the undeformed configuration.
5.2.3.2 Limitations
The following limitations apply equally to limit-load analysis and to primary stress limits of paragraph 5.2.2.
a) The effect of strain-controlled loads resulting from prescribed non-zero displacements and temperature
fields is not considered.
b) Components that experience reduction in stiffness with deformation, e.g. a pipe elbow under in-plane
bending, shall be evaluated using paragraph 5.2.4.
5.2.3.3 Numerical Analysis
The limit load is obtained using a numerical analysis technique (e.g. finite element method) by incorporating
an elastic-perfectly-plastic material model and small displacement theory to obtain a solution. The limit load
is the load that causes overall structural instability. This point is indicated by the inability to achieve an
equilibrium solution for a small increase in load (i.e. the solution will not converge).
5.2.3.4 Acceptance Criteria
The acceptability of a component using a limit-load analysis is determined by satisfying the following two
criteria.
a) Global Criteria – A global plastic collapse load is established by performing a limit-load analysis of the
component subject to the specified loading conditions. The plastic collapse load is taken as the load
which causes overall structural instability. The concept of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) is
used as an alternative to the rigorous computation of a plastic collapse load to design a component. In
this procedure, factored loads that include a design factor to account for uncertainty, and the resistance
of the component to these factored loads is determined using a limit load analysis (see Table 5.4).
b) Service Criteria – Service criteria as provided by the Owner/User that limit the potential for unsatisfactory
performance shall be satisfied at every location in the component when subject to the design loads. The
service criteria shall satisfy the requirements of paragraph 5.2.4.3.b using the procedures in paragraph
5.2.4.
