Seeking advice: Plan for installing a maintenance platform at the top of a reactor in chemical processing equipment
Thread Content
The piping for the reactor has been installed; according to the process requirements, a maintenance platform needs to be added at the top of the tower. There are no pre-welded components in that area. Option 1: Use large clamps centered around the two lifting lugs, with the clamps providing support to form a platform. Option 2: Use small clamps to hold the pipe at the center of the tower’s top, and then use flat steel to pull down a platform. Blue represents the current equipment drawings and the status of the platform, while the hand-drawn sketches represent hypothetical solutions. Thank you all for your help and suggestions; thanks!
It is advisable not to weld it to the cylinder; instead, the plate can be secured with bolts, more reinforcing steel plates should be used, and these plates should be thick, as well as the bolts
What material is the device made of? Can’t we weld a platform support to the device itself?
The reactor has been heat-treated and installed prior to leaving the factory, and it is welded to the main body of the equipment; no one wants to take responsibility for it. One can only try to use clamps.
Senior, I searched on Baidu. Do you know where I can find the CAD drawing collection for HG/T21543-2009 standard drawings? Thank you
Oh, the key issue is that the clamps might move, which poses a safety problem
"Option 1: Using a large clamp that forms a circle around the two lifting lugs, with support provided by the clamp to create a platform – this is feasible.
