Calculation issues for the eccentric flange on the top of the head
Thread Content
As stated in the title, a vertical mixing vessel has been designed recently, with the mixer located eccentrically in the upper head (the axis of eccentricity being parallel to the device’s centerline, at approximately 100 mm, which is quite close to the device). How should the strength calculation for such an eccentric flange be carried out? Can the method specified in HG20582-2011 still be used? Could someone with more experience give me some advice? Thank you
Why is there such a slight eccentricity? What is the need for it?
The container has a small diameter, and the agitator is arranged eccentrically, allowing for the omission of baffles inside the container to facilitate agitator installation.
After eccentricity, the stirrer may be subjected to eccentric loads, but the impact is minimal.
What about the strength calculation for flanged forgings? Can the method specified in HG20582-2011 still be used?
