Should boiler standard manholes be used on pressure vessels?
Thread Content
I would like to ask: has anyone used boiler standards for manholes in pressure vessel design? Will it work? Is there a theoretical basis? Thank you!
Standard boiler manholes can be used as long as the calculations show they are suitable; of course, they can also be employed.
The opening reinforcement calculation has passed; it’s okay.
Especially in compressor air storage tank products, boiler manholes are generally used; the JB/T8867-2000 standard for reciprocating piston air compressors’ air storage tanks also specifies the use of boiler manholes.
As long as the reinforcement calculation for the openings is successful, the type of openings to be created should be designed in accordance with the process requirements.
It seems that it can only be used with the approval of the quality supervision agency
