Calculation of wall thickness

2015-08-09View Original

Thread Content

Help me calculate whether the wall thickness of the container is reasonable. Operating pressure: atmospheric pressure; Operating temperature: 60°. Diameter: 3400; height: 7000. The angle of the conical section at the lower end is 15°, with a thickness of 6 mm. The outlet diameter is 100 mm. The lower 3000 mm of the cylinder wall has a thickness of 6 mm, while the upper 4500 mm has a thickness of 4 mm. The thickness of the flat cover flange is 4 mm, and it includes reinforcing ribs in a cross-shaped pattern [16a]. Is this reasonable? Using SW6, the calculated thickness of the flat cover flange turns out to be too large. It would be great if you could help me calculate it and also explain the process to me

It has a diameter of over 3 meters, and 6 mm in thickness is a bit thin. Both transportation and installation are problems.

With such a large diameter, the larger end of the conical head definitely needs to be reinforced

The thicknesses calculated for vessels at atmospheric pressure are generally thin; when determining the thickness, stiffness is the main factor considered

There are also the key data related to your device: the weight of the storage medium, that is, the internal storage medium; as well as the type of support, whether it is a skirt base or an ear base. This isn’t indicated in the diagram

It seems that the welding strength at the bottom of the tank is an issue!

Why is SW6 used for the calculation of equipment at atmospheric pressure? There are algorithms for normal pressure, and there are algorithms for pressure vessels. Calculated according to NB/T47003.
