## What this app does
|
| 10 |
+
|
| 11 |
+
This Streamlit app performs preliminary pressure-vessel calculations referenced to ASME Section VIII style rules:
|
| 12 |
+
|
| 13 |
+
- UG-27 shell thickness (circumferential & longitudinal checks)
|
| 14 |
+
- UG-32 head thickness (ellipsoidal, torispherical, hemispherical)
|
| 15 |
+
- Simplified UG-37-style nozzle reinforcement area check (conservative approximation)
|
| 16 |
+
- PWHT recommendation (simplified, UCS-56 guidance)
|
| 17 |
+
- Impact test / MDMT comparison (approximate UCS-66-style check)
|
| 18 |
+
- MAWP from thickness (inverse calculation)
|
| 19 |
+
- Exports: Summary CSV and optional PDF (requires `reportlab`)
|
| 20 |
+
|
| 21 |
+
**Important:** The app contains approximations and conservative assumptions. Use it for preliminary sizing, documentation, and educational purposes only.
