Calculations regarding container legs and supports
Thread Content
I’m a beginner and would like to ask how the experts calculate the support for vertical containers? No relevant calculations were found in sw6. Is it selected directly based on the container support standards JB/T4712.1~4-2007? Don’t we need to verify the selected data? Also, different heights of the ear-shaped supports have varying effects on the equipment; how should the height be determined? There are relevant calculation procedures for support standards, which are quite complex; is there any software available for performing these calculations?
Without software, use EXCEL to develop calculations based on the formulas indicated on the supports in order to select and verify the options.
Select directly; those with leg heights within the standard range can be used as is, while those exceeding the standard should be calculated according to the standards
When the ear seat is checked according to standards, its height has an impact on the wind load; overall, this effect isn’t too significant. If necessary, it is possible to refer to the rigid rings specified in HG20583 for such checks
There are also calculation tables for this on the internet; you can search for them. When determining the height of the leg, consider that the bottom pipe opening can be bent out. The height position of the ear-type support should be determined by the piping specialty.
The SW6 check shows that the A3 support fails the verification; it indicates that the verification is unsuccessful under both the operating conditions and the hydrostatic test conditions
