Calculation of saddle supports for horizontal containers
Thread Content
There is currently a horizontal unit with a diameter of DN3200, a straight section length of 6000 mm, a design pressure of 0.32, and a design temperature of 50°C. It features a standard elliptical head; the shell is made of 304 material, and B1 type saddles are used – these saddles are also made of 304. However, in SW6, no saddles made of 304 material are listed. I would like to know what methods can be used to carry out the calculations
After you calculate it with SW6, just change the data. It’s available in PVelite; you can use it. If that doesn’t work, do the calculations manually; the standard for horizontal containers provides all the necessary calculation steps and formulas, which can be used.
