Why can’t the wall thickness of the tower calculated using SW6 exceed 16 mm?

Why can’t the wall thickness of the tower calculated using SW6 exceed 16 mm?
That can’t be right. I’ve calculated values for wall thicknesses around 32, and there were no problems. Is there some mistake somewhere? You should share the specific details; otherwise it’s impossible to determine what issue you’re referring to.

The message indicating this is as follows: An error occurred while entering the data. There are limits on the pressure, temperature, and nominal thickness for Q235-B! Pressure = 0.18, Temperature = 50.00, Nominal thickness = 18.00. Pressure:
Original poster, take a close look at the thickness limits for Q235B when used as a shell. SW6 was developed in accordance with the relevant standards, so there’s nothing strange about that. The overload condition indicates that this material cannot be used; the poster should opt for other materials instead.
This comes from the thickness restrictions for the cylinder walls of pressure vessels made of Q235B as specified in GB150.2
It’s mainly at atmospheric pressure; there’s no need to use any other materials~
Is there a way to calculate beyond this limit?
If it is at atmospheric pressure, there is no need to use SW6 for calculations; SW6 is generally applied when the pressure is between 0.1 MPa and 35 MPa. For containers under atmospheric pressure, design and calculation can be carried out according to the standards for atmospheric pressure.
