Design of tray plates and their support rings
Thread Content
A vessel with an inner diameter of 1000 mm, a wall thickness of 40 mm, a design pressure of 11.5/-0.1 MPa, and a design temperature of 290°C; the medium used is quench water. The material used for the vessel is SA-240 S301803. Inside this vessel, a circular tray (porous plate) has been installed, with its lower part supported by a support ring. The tray and the support ring are connected by bolts, both made of SA-240 S301803. There are 5321 holes on the tray, each with a diameter of 5 mm. The general contractor provided a pressure difference of 6 bar to facilitate the detailed design of the tray and the support ring, along with the corresponding calculations. I’m really puzzled now about how to calculate and determine the thickness of trays and support rings; I hope someone experienced can give me some advice! ! !
Look up the common calculation formulas in mechanical engineering: formulas for calculating when a tray is supported by hinges along its perimeter and subjected to a uniform load on its surface; for support rings, use the formulas for circular plate analysis
Sir, could you be more detailed and provide the specific source?
Search for “Mechanical Design Handbook V3.0” online; once it’s installed, you can proceed with the calculations
