Packing support
Thread Content
The existing device has a diameter of 2000 mm, is equipped with annular packing, and allows gas to enter from below and exit from above. Question: The lower part is supported by a ring plate; is it necessary to add support beams or reinforcement plates to this ring plate, and how is this calculated?
This is related to factors such as the weight of the filler and the thickness of the support plate; it can’t be simply explained in a few words
Yes, I’d like to know how this kind of thing is calculated, the general approach. There are no specific figures.
Calculate based on fixed supports at the periphery and a uniformly distributed load on the plate surface; there are formulas for this in mechanical handbooks. The allowable stress can be taken as 0.9Rel, and care should be taken to ensure that the deflection does not become too large.
This is for the gas and oil separation; a fixing frame for the filter element is welded to the partition – it’s very simple
After the calculation of the ring plate support, it is also necessary to perform a local stress check on the equipment cylinder…
