Stiffening ring for external pressure vessels
Thread Content
For the stiffening rings of pressure vessels, under the condition that performance is not affected, do stiffening rings of the same specification serve the same purpose as internal stiffening rings? Additionally, I would like to ask how reinforcing rings made of flat steel or section steel are shaped into arcs Can it be welded together, or must it be bent as a whole?

As far as I know, the area that needs to be reinforced due to external pressure is half of what’s required for internal pressure; welding should be possible. However, it’s better if the welds are circumferential. It shouldn’t be difficult to shape flat steel into an arc shape, right? What about using steel sections as reinforcement rings?
The inside is the same as the outside. The reinforcement rings allow for splicing; otherwise, large-diameter ones cannot be made.
