Elastic support for pressure vessels
Thread Content
Due to temperature differences, the equipment expands when heated and contracts when cooled, whether it is stopped or in operation. It is therefore necessary to install a set of elastic support surfaces under the equipment’s ear mounts, so that these mounts do not remain suspended during operation but can rest on the elastic supports, thereby bearing the weight of the equipment. I would like to ask everyone: how should such elastic supports be selected? Are there any relevant manuals or calculation methods available?
The selection of elastic supports requires consideration of factors such as the equipment’s weight, operating temperature, and displacement amount. One can refer to some mechanical design manuals or pressure vessel design specifications, such as \"GB 150-2011 Pressure Vessels\" and the like. The calculation methods usually involve determining the stiffness, load-bearing capacity, and displacement of the supports. For specific selections and calculations, it is advisable to consult professional pressure vessel designers or relevant equipment manufacturers. .
