Standards for the design of the steel structural base under the pump
Thread Content
I recently encountered a project where the pump required steel structural support. What requirements are there for such a steel structural platform? Are there any standards or regulations?
Ah, no reply. Does no one understand?
API 610 specifies the design requirements for pump bases. You can check it
Regarding the base, I remember that there are national standards for it, but those are just the usual things that have been mentioned before. Some manufacturers have their own corporate standards, and such information isn’t easy to share. As for the support structure at the bottom of the base, it entirely depends on your design; if it’s convenient, you can use SW to create a model and conduct simulations to assess the stress levels. For more accurate results, you can use ANSYS
