How to calculate the weight of two towers together
Thread Content
I recently worked on a tower that required two towers to be combined. As long as there are two additional welds at the middle where the end caps meet the cylinder, can it still be considered as one tower? The tower is under atmospheric pressure
When calculating weight, is there a big difference between calculating it separately and together?

This kind of tower can’t be calculated by any software. It is this unconventional design that truly tests a person’s fundamentals and skill level!
Don’t jump to conclusions if you’ve never used PVdesktop
Hehe. The PVELite produced in the United States is much more advanced than domestic software, but its calculations are all based on standard patterns! Not to mention domestic software!

I’m referring to Sinopec’s PVdesktop; in addition to high-pressure, vertical vessels, towers, and heat exchangers, it can also be used for GB50341 standards, steel chimneys, as well as SH/T3167 (which is equivalent to API620). It allows for the direct input of composite material data, and modeling is possible – allowing for the verification of local stresses at all pipe connections in the model. For example, when checking towers, it’s possible to create models for each floor platform and set different azimuth angles for the ladders. While SW6 only requires input regarding the liquid holding capacity of the tray layers, PVdesktop also takes into account the liquid holding capacity of the packing. I didn’t bring my license key to work these days; I’ll show you tomorrow whether there’s a function for an intermediate skirt section. I’ll send you a few screenshots I took earlier, and then I’ll take screenshots of the interface related to the intermediate skirt section tomorrow
There’s no need to worship foreign products; Sinopec already has software similar to PVELite, and PVdesktop was authorized by the Certification and Accreditation Committee long ago
It’s not about worshipping foreign things or being overly pro-foreign. The gap isn’t small at all!
