Questions about the design of SW 5.0 spherical tank
Thread Content
I recently studied SW6 version 5.0 and found some problems. I am new to this software and I am not sure about some parts. Now I will discuss with you the problems I encountered.: 1. In the design of the spherical tank, if the height of each liquid level after zoning is not entered, the design thickness given by the software is 31.3mm, but the nominal thickness is given as 33mm? I don’t understand how this 33mm was obtained. 2. Similarly, when the liquid level height is not entered, the nominal thickness given by the software is 33. However, when the liquid level height is entered, the design thickness of 33mm cannot be passed by the calculation. I do not understand why the thickness given by the software cannot pass the calculation without inputting the liquid level height. I personally think that once the filling coefficient of the diameter of the spherical tank is determined, the thickness of the spherical tank should be the same. 3. Looking at the calculation book generated by SW6, does SW6 default to an adjustable tie rod design? Looking at the calculation book, it seems that the calibration calculation method of the non-fixed tie rod can be given by an expert. Thank you!
The material quantity of spherical tanks is generally relatively large. Consider ordering fixed-length boards. You can order several boards, which can save money.
Thank you. It's still not very accurate. It seems that thicker plates are easy to buy regardless of whether the thickness is an odd number or an even number.
