Calculation of rigid ring supports for vertical containers
Thread Content
When calculating the supports for vertical vessels with a conical bottom head, it is required to enter the distance from the bottom of the vessel to the lower surface of the base plate of the rigid ring support. Does this refer to the distance from the bottom end of the vessel’s cylinder to the lower surface of that base plate, or rather to the distance from the lowest point of the conical bottom head to the lower surface of the base plate?
Generally, the \"distance from the bottom of the container to the lower surface of the base plate of the rigid ring support\" mentioned here refers to *the distance from the lowest part of the conical head to the lower surface of the base plate of the rigid ring support*. This is because design calculations typically take into account the stability and safety of the entire container, including the impact of the head. However, the specific definition may vary depending on different design specifications and practical application scenarios. Therefore, if you encounter this problem while carrying out specific design or calculations, it is best to refer to the design specifications you are using or consult experienced engineers. In structural design, safety assessment, and engineering practice, it is very important to ensure the correct understanding and application of these parameters. If there are any doubts or uncertainties, professional advice and verification should be sought. .
There is a document titled “Design and Calculation of Integral Rigid Ring Supports at the Bottom of Vertical Vessels” that contains the design and calculation methods
Thank you! The distance from the bottom of the container to the lower surface of the rigid ring is more in line with reality.
The most accurate measure is the distance from the center of gravity of the conical head to the bottom plate; in practice, what is needed is the height of the center of gravity of the equipment
