conical shell
Thread Content
Gentlemen, I have a question. Recently I encountered a tower vessel with a smaller diameter at the bottom and a larger one at the top; specifically, the diameter at the end where it connects to the base is 4500, while the diameter at the top is 5400. It’s a pressure vessel at normal pressure, but there is relatively heavy packing placed at the top. How should the transition cone be designed in this case? I earnestly ask all experts for their guidance; I thank you in advance
Is the packing layer located in the transition section? It is estimated that bulk packing can only be used; calculation can be done according to SW6-2011. When calculating, simply correspond the height of the packing to that of the cone shell.
I’ve never encountered it; I have encountered cases where the diameter is larger at the bottom and smaller at the top.
Just perform normal calculations; remember to add the loads that need to be included
