Equipment calculation sheet
Thread Content
Experts, under what circumstances are strength calculations, stability calculations, and stress checks required for static equipment? I’m an amateur; please understand
I believe that static equipment requires strength calculations, stability calculations, and stress checks under any circumstances. Even if you just leave it there to be seen
Your answer makes a lot of sense. Are there any standards or documents that clearly explain this? :handshake
NBT 47003.1-2009 Steel Welded Atmospheric Pressure Vessels; NBT 47052-2016 Simple Pressure Vessels; GBT 150.1–150.4-2011 Pressure Vessels; HGT 20580–20585-2020 Design Specifications for Steel Chemical Vessels; TSG 21-2016 Safety Technical Supervision Regulations for Fixed Pressure Vessels; Software SW6-2011
During design, calculations must be done in theory!
By applying philosophical and mathematical reasoning, one finds no reason not to do it; thus, it is imperative to do it, just like a theorem.
Static equipment requires strength calculations, stability calculations, and stress checks under all circumstances
The calculation sheets are prepared based on the failure modes; it depends on what kind of failure mode is common in your equipment, and calculations are done accordingly
