How should the impact issues during the lifting of pressure vessels be considered?
Thread Content
Experts, how is the impact during the lifting of large-scale pressure vessels taken into account? For example, are there any relevant design specifications regarding the impact that occurs at the moment the container is lowered to its installation location by lifting equipment? Thank you.
Only measures to prevent or reduce impacts can be taken...
Standard lifting lugs are generally designed to withstand certain levels of impact load, but during lifting, especially with large items, it is necessary to minimize impacts as much as possible.
When designing the lifting lugs, static load factors and dynamic load factors are taken into account to ensure that the lifting requirements are met. Additionally, it is necessary to prepare a lifting plan, determine the most optimal and reasonable lifting methods, develop safety procedures for construction, provide technical instructions prior to the lifting process, and carry out thorough supervision during lifting to ensure its smooth progress.
These are all things that crane operators need to take into account.
The lifting design for large equipment must be coordinated with the crane operator.
The container supports and lugs are designed to withstand certain impact loads, but it is necessary to communicate properly with the lifting company. The lifting plan for large-scale equipment is developed by the lifting company, not by the container manufacturer; however, the manufacturer must provide the lifting company with the necessary technical details. Supervision should also be provided at the lifting site.
These should mainly be considered by the construction party
