Since the shell of pressure vessel equipment is made from standard seamless steel pipes, can the flanges of such vessels use the standard pipe flanges HG20592?
As long as the applicable conditions of the flange standards are met, it is possible.
It can be used perfectly; we often design it based on the cylinder diameter
I don’t think there’s much connection between the two! The pipe ends can use flanges in accordance with the HG20592 or HG20615 standards, as specified by the project requirements.
Standard flanges can be used without any issue, and there is even no need for verification! This is allowed.
I also think it can be used, but its testing must still meet the requirements of the equipment flange.
Standard pipe flanges can be used, or the flange can be calculated in the SW6 calculation software as a flange of any design
Standard pipe flanges HG20592 can be used entirely.
Sure. But if your design pressure is similar to the flange’s pressure rating, it might fail the calculation for SW6 components.
Standard pipe flanges HG20592 can be used entirely.
It’s completely fine; as long as the calculation is successful
Flanges are divided into pipe flanges and vessel flanges.
I think it’s possible. We also used pipe flanges when designing small heat exchangers in the past. Although the SW6 calculation might not pass. But the strength is definitely sufficient; the calculations for SW6 are conservative. The calculation of standard flanges differs from that in SW6
Of course it can be used; you can use forged flanges
Standard pipe flanges HG20592 can be used
