How is the total weight of a distillation tower calculated?
Thread Content
I just got assigned to the equipment department, and I’m asked to calculate the weight of distillation towers. I’m a bit confused; I hope the more experienced colleagues can give me some guidance~
Metal weight = head + cylinder + accessories
I’ve finished calculating the cylinder and end caps; it’s mainly the accessories such as skirt seats and platform ladders, etc~
Do we still need to consider the load issue?
No need to consider the load~ Platforms, ladders, and skirt seats are difficult to handle~
