A packed tower has been designed and the materials have been selected; how can the weight of the entire tower be estimated?
Thread Content
As the title says. I often see in some equipment flowcharts that the quantities and weights of various components are listed, along with the relevant standards; so I guess this weight is determined based on those standards? But it seems that there are no standards available for some components; how should one estimate them in such cases? For example, in the case of a packed tower, if a manhole is created on one side and an opening is made for reinforcement on the other side, how can the weight be estimated during the design phase? I’m a beginner; if you know anything, please give me some guidance. I’d be extremely grateful.
It seems that such a situation does exist; I heard it, just heard it – the area of the manhole is known, as well as its weight. You can simply subtract that from the total weight of the entire tower !
Just do a rough estimate. A tower is essentially a cylinder; the wall thickness of such a tower is determined based on the margin for pressure corrosion. It’s not difficult to calculate the weight by considering the difference in densities. It’s just my opinion – I’ve never carried out actual design work on this: loveliness:
