Title
Design and Fabrication of Bulk Solids Product Containers
Process Industry Practices
Publication Date:
Jun 1, 2009
Scope:
This Practice describes requirements for design, materials,
fabrication, examination, testing, and shipping for cylindrical
shell, single-wall containers for dry bulk solids (i.e., bins,
hoppers, silos, and gravity blenders) having internal design
pressures not exceeding 15 psig (103 kPa) and/or full vacuum
external pressure at the top of the container in its normal
operating position. Containers may be welded, shop- and
field-fabricated, and shall generally be designed in accordance
with the philosophy and requirements of the ASME Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1, henceforth
referred to as the Code. Code inspections and stamping are
not required for these containers.
The following are not covered by this Practice:
Containers with nominal diameters 2 ft (0.6 m) or less
Containers with volumes less than 100 ft3 (2.8
m3)
Bolted containers operating at atmospheric conditions
Mechanically fastened shell or head courses with or without seal
welding
Non-metallic material
Fluidized beds
Non-cylindrical shells
Containers requirements associated with mechanical agitation by
motordriven blade impellers
Portable transport containers
Containers containing "lethal substances" defined as poisonous
gases, liquids, or solids of such nature that a very small amount
of the gas, liquid, or solid mixed or unmixed with air is dangerous
to life if inhaled or if contacting skin. See Code paragraph
UW-2
Purpose
This Practice provides requirements for the construction of
cylindrical atmospheric and low-pressure, welded, shop- and
field-fabricated dry bulk solids containers (e.g., bins, hoppers,
silos, and gravity blenders).
