15 cm thick reactor
Thread Content
We have a high-pressure reactor here with a wall thickness of 15 centimeters and a weight of over 60 tons; I’m very curious about how such a thing is made
High-pressure vessels are generally classified into forged-welded types and multi-layer wrapped types based on the pressure; for lower pressures, single-layer thick plate roll welding can also be used. The DN2800 ammonia synthesis tower produced by our company features a multi-layer wrapping structure with a total weight of 300 tons
15 centimeters is 150 mm. Hehe, it’s still possible to carry out roll welding. It is said that modern rolling mills can achieve a rolling diameter of up to 200 mm. If it’s hot-rolled, it can be made thicker still
Reply to 3# SuperFree2316: I’m very curious – how is that interface welded?
Reply to 4# Ding Xueli: The weld is built up layer by layer from the inside out.

With this thickness, the equipment is very important. Many customers refuse multiple layers of wrapping and heat shrinking. Cold rolling can cause significant damage to the coiling machine; if not done properly, the machine may get damaged halfway through the process. Heat rolling requires considerable expertise, and when the diameter of the material to be rolled isn’t very large, a significant amount of thinning is necessary. Those with a bit more money prefer forgings, and for welding, narrow-gap welding is used
It can be rolled even though it’s this thick; that’s amazing
