ASME STS-1, 2021 Edition, 2022 – Steel Stacks

ASME STS-1-2021 is the latest revision of the “Steel Stacks” standard, developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). This standard provides the guidelines and requirements for the design, fabrication, and erection of steel stacks. These stacks are used in industrial facilities for discharging gases such as flue gas from power plants, refineries, and other industries that require high exhaust structures.

Key Aspects of ASME STS-1-2021:

  1. Design Requirements:
    • Includes specifications for the design of both self-supporting and guyed stacks.
    • Emphasizes factors such as wind loading, seismic considerations, and thermal stresses.
  2. Materials:
    • Covers material selection for the construction of steel stacks, taking into account environmental conditions and the need for corrosion resistance.
  3. Structural Integrity:
    • Details on maintaining the structural integrity of steel stacks, including guidance on ensuring long-term durability and safety.
  4. Fabrication and Construction:
    • Provides detailed procedures for the fabrication and erection of steel stacks, including welding, bolting, and inspection.
  5. Maintenance:
    • Outlines guidelines for the maintenance and inspection of steel stacks to ensure their safe operation throughout their service life.
  6. Load Considerations:
    • Incorporates guidelines for the application of loads such as wind, earthquake, thermal expansion, and vibration during design.

This standard ensures that steel stacks are designed and constructed to withstand various operational and environmental stresses while maintaining safety and performance.
