Strength verification of packing supports (support rings) in packed towers
Thread Content
I’ve been troubled by a problem lately and can’t turn to the experts on Haichuan for help (I’m looking for experts in mechanics of materials; I’m quite poor at this subject). The grids and support beams that provide padding should be calculated according to SH/T3098, while the welds need to be checked in accordance with GB50017. But it’s this support ring that poses a problem for me; I plan to calculate it as a cantilever beam, using the formula (Mmax=1/2ql2), where q represents the linear load. However, with the available information, I can only determine the surface load on the support ring. I need guidance on how to convert surface loads and linear loads for rings. . .
I’m facing the same issue and am looking for a solution
I seek guidance from experts. . . This question has been in my mind for a long time. . .
The calculation of the gusset plates can be referenced using those for the skirt cover plate. It is also a beam model.
It has never been calculated; the values recommended in the manual are used instead
I looked for it. . . Why couldn’t I find it? If you have time, could you please send it to me in detail? Thank you

With the surface load, it’s easy to calculate the linear load. It depends on which direction’s linear load you need: for a ring, there is circumferential linear load and radial linear load. If you need the circumferential linear load, divide the surface load by the radial cross-sectional length of the ring; if you need the radial linear load, divide the surface load by the length of the circumferential load
Isn’t this support ring held up by a beam? Is there still a rib plate under the support ring? Send me a schematic to take a look. Otherwise, it is impossible to understand your mechanical model.
