What to do about local stress in the tank wall
Thread Content
Are there pipe supports on the wall of large storage tanks, and are they subjected to external loads from those pipe supports? How to verify the external loads on the tank wall?
This is a task related to pipeline stress analysis; it’s possible to refer to the allowable loads on the equipment connections. These allowable values can be found in Appendix D of SH 3074. If these values are exceeded, it’s necessary to distribute the load through the piping system, by adding supports to the structural framework or foundation, or by using flexible piping. . . That’s how I understand it; I’m not sure if it’s correct though
If it is a stress check for the tank wall, the local stress can be calculated using the component calculation function in SW6: lol
Large storage tanks have too large a diameter and too thin walls; SW will not perform calculations for them! Storage tank with a diameter of 27000*10
