Wind on Horizontal Vessels - 12/03/04 03:59 PM
We have an outdoor 72" ID vacuum line we want to analyze. It's a horizontal pipe, but B31.3 says to use ASME VIII Div 1 to analyze for external pressure. I can model the pipe and rings fine, but I don't see any wind loading in the results, although I thought I had it set up. Does wind apply to horizontal vessels in PVElite?
