The impact of equipment operating temperature on the allowable forces and torques at the equipment ports
Thread Content
I would appreciate some guidance from my colleagues regarding the impact of the operating temperature of equipment on the allowable forces and torques acting on the equipment’s connections
Each design agency has its own set of regulations regarding the allowable forces and moments on equipment connections. According to Global’s documentation, these allowable forces and moments are related to the equipment’s diameter, wall thickness, and the diameter of the connection ports； According to the data from another foreign engineering company, the forces and moments at the equipment connections vary with the design temperature for equipment wall thicknesses ranging from 16 mm to 21 mm, but no calculation formula is provided. I have also been looking for information on this topic.
