Seeking advice on entering flange data for sw6-2011 software calculation
Thread Content
In the calculation software, I need to enter values such as the weld height h1, as well as the effective thickness of the larger end of the neck g1 and the effective thickness of the smaller end of the neck g2, along with the height of the shear plane. I’ve been trying to find these values for a long time without success; I would appreciate any advice from those who are more experienced
Were these data entered randomly by myself?
This depends on the type of flange you design or choose, its nominal pressure class, and diameter series. Based on the data for the flange selected for use in the design, it is then entered into SW6 for calculation and verification, to determine whether the design meets the required standards. If input is done arbitrarily, verification loses its meaning.
I am following JB/T4701-2000; the flange type is FM800-10. How should I enter the effective thickness of the large and small ends of the neck as well as the weld height? Where can I find the relevant standards?
It’s clearly stated in the equipment flange standards; take a closer look yourself
