Calculation of vertical vessels with skirts
Thread Content
Dear seniors, how should vertical containers with skirt bases be calculated?
Vertical vessels with skirts can be calculated as towers. It can be calculated using SW6
Calculations these days are done through software; manual calculation is rarely used. As long as you have the appropriate calculation software and can master its use, the calculations for that device you mentioned are actually quite simple
Let’s see how the tower skirt is calculated Then calculate it by hand yourself
For beginners, it is best to do the calculations by hand first to deepen understanding. Use the software after you become familiar with it.
It is convenient to calculate using the PV ELITE software.
Those with skirt bases can be designed as towers; SW6 can be used to handle this, while manual calculation is rather complicated
Could someone please explain in detail how to perform the calculations for towers using SW6? Examples of calculations are provided.
It is not entirely based on towers; for towers only bending stress (axial pressure) is considered. Since vertical vessels are shorter, horizontal shear stress should also be calculated in theory
It can be calculated using the mathematical model for towers (JB/T4710-2005).
