Everyone: Does anyone know what the typical height-to-diameter ratio is used for when designing non-standard equipment?
The container is usually around 2.5 to 4, I guess. Vertical containers can be even larger. Things like towers and reactors aren’t necessarily the case; they can be very large, with sizes in the tens being fine
That’s right! There is no fixed value for this either; it is sufficient as long as its stiffness and strength meet the required standards. The last thing to consider is cost.
When the height is less than 12, the height is a multiple of 0.6 and the diameter is a multiple of 2. When it is greater than 12, the diameter is a multiple of 3
