Fixed and sliding ends of horizontal equipment
Thread Content
1. How are the fixed end and sliding end of horizontal equipment determined? 2. What factors are related to determining the fixed end and sliding end? (Is it related to the position of the nozzle? Or is it related to the internal structure? ) This post was last edited by hutom123 on 2009-3-24 16:49 ]
Generally, the side with more branch pipes should be set as the fixed end, so as to minimize the deformation of the pipes due to equipment sliding.
This issue has been discussed a lot and comprehensively before, so let’s take a look at it yourself.
The fixed end of the sliding end of the horizontal equipment support with many thermal connections should be finalized based on the professional calculation results of pipeline stress.
Generally, the end with more connected process pipes is selected as the fixed end, and the other end is the movable end. This will have less impact on the pipeline when the tank expands.
When the operating temperature of the container is high, the sliding end of the container will undergo a certain displacement after being heated. Therefore, the fixed end should be set on the side of the container with a large or more nozzles. When the number of nozzles is equal or close, it should be set on the feed port or the side where the nozzles vibrate more due to operation.
