Dear all,
Please read the initial posting with care.
I am not trying to prove this is Case 2e.
I am not looking for help using excel.
I am trying to figure out the origin of this equation that, for a select range of values, happens to give a good approximation to Case 2e.
And so that someone else can feel my pain, here's the original excel formula:
G24 = Differential Pressure Head [m] (itself calculated from differential pressure)
1000 = Density [kg/m3] (unlinked to the variable input for fluid density)
C15 = Plate Thickness [mm]
C17 = Pipe ID [mm]
G27 =...
Having joined a new company, I've been tasked to "standardise" a batch of old spreadsheets that are frequently reused. Absolutely nothing give references for the calculations embedded and I'm working to change that. I've managed to track down most of them, but have run into a wall relating to...
@ r6155
Both new documents to me (I've recently moved out of API 6A & ASME BPVC.VIII.Div2 to free-standing, low pressure vessels) with a wealth of information. Had you a specific section in mind in either of those, or am I looking at a fun weekend of parsing out the applicable components for...
Helpfully my reply to @r6155 didn't publish...
To work with some round numbers, as I'm now away from the data:
DN600 PN6 Flange at the base of a vertical pressure vessel
3barg applied internally
4x 50x50x3mm SHS's (Square Hollow Sections - aka box section) equispaced on a 500mm PCD
1000kg...
I'm working on a pressure vessel with a blind flange at its base, supported by a few large SHS's. To avoid FEA, can anyone direct me to a suitable hand-calc that could be used to assess the effect of the legs on the flange?
I'd been thinking of using Case 19 from Table 11.2 in Roarks 7th...
