Whats Is loading according to UG-22

Question

Accepted Answer

Loading according to UG-22 refers to the applied forces and moments on static equipment as per the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

UG-22 of the ASME Code provides guidelines for determining the loading conditions on static equipment such as pressure vessels and heat exchangers.
Loading includes both internal and external forces and moments that act on the equipment.
Internal loading includes pressure, temperature, and fluid weight, while external loading includes wind, seismic, and live loads.
The loading conditions specified in UG-22 are essential for designing and analyzing static equipment to ensure their structural integrity and safety.
For example, a pressure vessel may experience internal loading due to the pressure of the contained fluid and external loading due to wind or seismic events.
