Problems with the installation of legs for thin-walled stainless steel cylinders
Thread Content
Hello everyone, I have a question: for a stainless steel tank that is 2 mm thick with a diameter of 600, how should it be welded if angle steel legs are used? If, in order to prevent the legs from deforming, I first weld a triangular plate to the cylinder before attaching the legs, how should I make the connection? Thank you all
I want to weld a triangular plate first, and then attach the legs; is it possible to connect them using bolts?
Leg shims are definitely necessary. The problem is how to weld the shims to the cylinder; a 2mm thickness is easily burned through, and it’s difficult to ensure welding strength while preventing burn-through.
The welding is fine; I now want to make the legs detachable, so is there any good way to do that?
With such a thin cylinder and small size, the load is not very high; therefore, there is basically no issue with insufficient strength. Additionally, other types of supports can be used
A support similar to an ear-type support is welded to the cylinder, and then connected to the leg via bolts
