The spring gauge and bracket report issues with thermal loads
Thread Content
Dear HAI friends, I have a question for everyone: when I check the bracket report, namely the Restraint Summary Extended, the hot-load values at the spring points (the locations where the springs are located) under operational conditions are sometimes identical to the HOT LOAD values listed in the Hanger Table. In other cases, there is a slight difference – ranging from a few Newtons to over 100 Newtons. Of course, this difference is very small and has no impact on engineering design; I’m just curious as to what causes this difference The hot-state value in the spring gauge should be determined based on the hot-state value reported by the bracket; why is there a difference? Seeking advice!
Look, the spring force at these two points differs slightly from the values shown on the spring gauge
When you have multiple OPE operating conditions, it is necessary to define which conditions should be used for spring selection; I’m not sure how you define these spring operating conditions.
