Regarding the lifting of the tower
Thread Content
There is a tower-type unit whose structure consists of components connected by flanges. During lifting, it is necessary to determine whether the bolt connections between these flanges can withstand the stresses associated with lifting. The user now requests that relevant calculations be carried out for this part of the equipment. Could someone with expertise please advise on how to conduct such calculations and what the process involves?
The flanges of tower equipment are not determined based on the operating pressure; rather, the equivalent pressure, which takes various factors into account, is used to calculate the flanges. As long as this value meets the requirements, there will be no issues with lifting the equipment. Moreover, lifting is merely a problem of gravitational shear.
Verification should be carried out. Refer to HG20582-9.
Since a tower with a flange structure was chosen, overall lifting is naturally not required
