Analysis Conclusion:
Material strength properties used in this report are obtained from ASME IID, Table 1A, and are suitable
for VIII-1 components. The rules of ASME VIII-2 are used to set the stress limits.
The Tri-Clamp will be used under ASME VIII-1 service. This product cannot be calculated to code rules
due to the complexity of its geometry. Instead the rules of ASME VIII-2 are used with ASME VIII-1
allowable stresses to determine its acceptability.
The model used in the analysis represents 1/2 of the Tri-Clamp due to symmetry. A global mesh size of
0.09375" has been applied using 3D tetrahedral solid elements. The mesh size results in a reported error
of less than 5%.
The Tri-Clamp meets VIII-2 design rules using VIII-1 allowable stresses and is acceptable.
Through the FEA we found a 0.0009" maximum displacement as acceptable. A 22,817 psi peak stress
results in an infinite cycle life. All general areas are within the allowable stress limits.
A symmetry restraint is applied to compensate for the use of a 1/2 model. A single point on the clamp is
fixed to prevent rigid body motion in all directions. Internal pressure is applied up to the pressure
boundary and bolt loads simulated with a "bolt connector" feature. The resulting reaction forces closely
match the theoretical reaction forces. The model is in balance and may be used for displacement and
stress analysis.

Fig-A A view of the symmetry restraint applied. This condition restrains the
sectioned faces to the "XY" plane wile permitting movement in the "X" & "Y" directions. This restraint
compensates for the use of a half model and provides results identical to a full model.

43 The above chart represents the top differential von Mises stresses. These stresses are determined according to the
44 equations listed in ASMIE VIII-2 5.5.3.2. Stresses converging to infinity tend to lie at discontinuities and are not used for cycle
