I would like to ask the experts here: when considering cost efficiency, it is advisable to use shells with thinner wall thicknesses and reinforce them with steel sections. How should one choose the type, specifications, and combination of these steel sections? Are there any straightforward reference materials or documents available on this topic?
The selection and calculation recommendations for reinforcing steel sections in equipment operating at atmospheric pressure follow these steps: 1. Determine the locations and directions that require reinforcement, and select appropriate steel sections based on the forces acting and the stress conditions. Commonly used section steels include angle steel, channel steel, I-beam steel, etc. 2. Calculate the size and quantity of the required steel sections based on the location and direction of reinforcement. The strength calculation formula can be used, or calculations can be made based on existing tables of strength calculation data. 3. Based on the material and thickness of the shell, select an appropriate combination of steel sections to achieve economic efficiency. 4. Perform proper welding and fixing of the steel sections. Welding requires high strength and uniform welds. The fixing method should be compatible with the equipment’s original structure to ensure its stability after reinforcement. In practice, it is recommended to first refer to the equipment design standards or relevant specifications to understand the associated design calculation methods and strength requirements, and to carry out necessary on-site inspections and acceptance tests. At the same time, it is also possible to refer to some relevant materials and literature, such as the \"Pharmaceutical Equipment Design Manual\" and similar works. .
I’ve been relying on experience until now; I want to learn it systematically*.
Learning* is a good* habit; learning* systematically can make you more proficient in practice. For the reinforcement of steel sections in equipment operated at atmospheric pressure, it is recommended that you read some relevant books and materials, such as the \"Pharmaceutical Equipment Design Manual\" and the \"Chemical Engineering Machinery Manual\". These books provide detailed information on aspects such as the principles of equipment design, structure, material selection, manufacturing processes, and inspection procedures. You may also refer to certain industry standards and specifications, such as “GB150 Pressure Vessels” and “HG20592 Construction and Acceptance Specifications for Chemical Equipment Installation”, to gain an understanding of the standard requirements for various stages including equipment design, manufacturing, construction, and acceptance. At the same time, it is also possible to pay attention to technological research and industry news to continuously update one’s knowledge base and improve professional capabilities. .
