Hi folks,
This might be an obvious question but it has been in my mind for a while. Why are some of the stiffeners on a flat face of a pressure chamber chamfered? See pictures attached. I couldn't justify why they are made that way...
Hi I’m trying to verify in FEA my hand calculation of a rectangular chamber subjected to external pressure.
It's a chamber with rectangular cross section (see attached picture) whose inner dim. are 22"*24"*57.25". It has equal wall thickness of 0.75". The material is Aluminum 6061 T6 with a...
Hi all,
I'm now at the stage of calculating ligament efficiencies in designing my chamber here thread794-463774.
I have three types of plates with holes to which CF nipple tubes will be welded on. Type one is a plate with one row of 4 uniformly distributed 6" holes on the centre line of the...
Hi all,
Edited: The chamber is roughly 24"X24"X60". It's for insulation of a cryostat but the temperature of the chamber itself is at room temperature. The potential material could be Aluminum 6061 T6 or SS ANSI 304. The reason why I consider Aluminum is that it might be cheaper than a...
Hi All,
I'm currently working on designing a vacuum chamber as a insulation for a cryostat. Due to design requirements, at least one side of the chamber should be flat so I can't choose a cylindrical chamber. I'm hoping to design the chamber as per Figure 13-2(a) (3) or a "D" shaped chamber...
Hi People! I'm new to the forum please excuse me if the answer of my question is too obvious.
I'm working on designing a vacuum chamber and I'm currently comparing between a D-shaped and rectangular chamber, made of AL 6061 T6. I did most of the calculations and I have the value of the total...
