Characterization of Thermal-Mechanical Properties and Optimal Selection of Coke Drum Materials
DownloadFall 2015
Coke drums, critical equipment in petroleum industry, experience severe thermal-mechanical loading during operations and, the safety and integrity of the coke drum are important to the industries. The tendency of material selections of the coke drum is increasing towards with higher content of...

Spring 2010
Coke drums are vertical pressure vessels used in the delayed coking process in petroleum refineries. Significant temperature variation during the delayed coking process causes the useful life of coke drums to be shortened. In order to better understand the failure mechanisms, a experimental study...

Fatigue Behaviour of Coke Drum Materials and Its Application to Extend the Service Lives of Coke Drums
DownloadFall 2014
Coke drums are vertical pressure vessels used in the delayed coking process in petroleum refineries. They are normally constructed of carbon or low carbon alloy steels internally clad with stainless steel to protect the coke drums from corrosion during operations. Significant temperature...

Optimal Design of Coke Drum Skirt Slots and Analysis of Alternative Skirt Support Structures for Thermal-Mechanical Cyclic Loading
DownloadFall 2017
The skirt-to-shell attachment weld on coke drums is susceptible to low-cycle fatigue failure due to severe thermal-mechanical cyclic stresses. Therefore, various skirt attachment designs have been proposed and implemented to reduce stress and thus improve reliability. The most common skirt design...
