How to calculate the wall thickness for a tapered tower with a height of 3.4
Thread Content
There is a tower with a height of 3.4 meters and a diameter of 800; on its upper end cap there is a cylinder section with a diameter of 400. How can the wall thicknesses of this upper cylinder section and the conical end cap be calculated using SW6-2011?
Does anyone know if, for a tower with a height of 3.4 meters, a flat base is used instead of a skirt foundation? Urgent!!!
It depends on the medium in your tower and the operating pressure; I’ve seen that hydrogen washing towers are usually flat-bottomed.
At best, this device is a vertical container; although it is called and functions as a tower, it does not need to be considered as such. Calculations can be done for vertical containers in SW6. Conical head on the upper cover? Just enter the values and perform the calculation.
It can be calculated directly in accordance with GB150.3; if it meets the requirements of clause 1.3 of NB/T47041 standard, design can be carried out with reference to Appendix E of this standard

It is suggested that the original poster post a simple diagram, as textual descriptions can sometimes be ambiguous; diagrams are clearer and more straightforward. For example, “there is a cylinder section (DN400) on the upper head” – it seems a bit confusing; is this another cylinder? Or a pipe fitting? It is recommended to send a simplified diagram! !
