When preparing the equipment layout to create the necessary conditions for the structure, for various types of moving equipment such as pumps, fans, centrifuges, vibrators, and mixing tanks, how should the dynamic loads be determined? Is there any standard to guide this? Currently, the total load on our rotating equipment is usually set at 1.5 times the static load; for those with higher rotational speeds, it is set at 2 to 2.5 times the static load. Is there any problem with this?
Due to the issue of dynamic loads on equipment, it is generally necessary to take these dynamic loads into account when planning the layout and structural design of the equipment. The value of dynamic load is usually determined based on the actual working principle and operating conditions of the equipment, and it is influenced by factors such as the type of equipment, operation frequency, and rotational speed. The method you mentioned of multiplying the static load by a certain factor to estimate the dynamic load is a simplified approach, but it may not accurately reflect the actual situation. The power characteristics and effects generated by different devices can vary greatly; for example, the vibration patterns and intensity produced by centrifuges and mixing tanks during operation can be completely different. Therefore, it is best to determine this by referring to the data provided by the manufacturers of various devices or relevant professional standards. China has relevant codes such as the \"Code for Loads on Building Structures\" (GB 50009-2012), which include some basic methods and guidelines for calculating dynamic loads; however, for specific equipment, it may be necessary to refer to more specific standards or manuals. Additionally, relevant specifications from international standards such as ISO or ASTM can also be referred to. In summary, it is recommended to consult the equipment manufacturer or a structural engineer in the absence of concrete evidence, in order to ensure that the values for dynamic loads are as accurate and reasonable as possible. This helps avoid the problem of structures being too conservative or not secure enough. .

Reference can be made to Appendix B of the \"Code for Load Design of Chemical and Petrochemical Buildings\" (HG/T 20674).
