How to change the calculated diameter range for the opening reinforcement in PVelite?
Thread Content
My external thickness has reached 130, while using SW6 the value required is only 40. Could anyone help me out?
I saw in the calculation method that the diameter calculated is already 1488; how can I get it to approach a normal value?
If there isn’t much margin in the cylinder, isn’t it reasonable to consider a 30-in connector as equivalent to 130 mm? For SW-6, you’re using the same cylinder thickness, right? With lower safety factors specified in national standards, it’s normal for the thickness to be smaller, isn’t it?
Generally speaking, I agree. Comparative design can indeed be quite convenient, but it’s important to pay attention to the differences, as they can sometimes be fatal
This container should be quite large, and its thickness is likely to be significant as well; using conventional materials would not be appropriate as it would result in high costs.
To change the diameter range for opening reinforcement calculations in PVelite, you first need to check your design inputs. Please ensure that the design parameters of the pressure vessel are correctly set, including wall thickness, material, and operating conditions. Thereafter, when performing calculations for opening reinforcement, the reinforcement requirements can be optimized by modifying the size or position of the opening. Additionally, verify that the version of the applicable calculation standards (such as ASME) is up to date, and check whether there are any special provisions or exemptions suitable for your situation. If the external thickness differs significantly from the calculated value, it is recommended to recheck whether all input parameters are correct, or consult an experienced engineer for a detailed analysis. .
Provide the cylinder diameter, material, pressure, temperature, and parameters
Diameter: 2600, Pressure: 1.8 MPa. The main material used is SA-516 70; temperature: 60℃
Change the takeover thickness from 10 to 35, and change the forged pipe thickness from 130 to 90
I set the thickness to 22; mainly, the difference between the overall structure and the reinforced sections at the openings is so large that I thought it was unreasonable
