    Design pressure V maximum working pressure

    maximum working pressure is the pressure that the unit is capable of operating at, under given conditions but the unit it self has been designed to a higher pressure rating. So yes you may need to change the relief valve setting to make it higher than what is it now to make the unit work at a...

    interesting problem of liquid surge

    thanks for replies everyone. im ignoring the vaccum condition for the time being but as pointed out it may buckle under this scenario as well. as for technical values we can choose practical values like 1300 for density of liquid and normal dimensions of a tanker, so ive made an exel file where...

    interesting problem of liquid surge

    so ive got this design problem of liquid surge in tanker. scenario: the tanker on a truck is divided into two parts by baffle to stop liquid surge. The baffle is dome shaped. liquid level is same on both sides of the container. Design pressure rating for the baffle material is known. The...

    available second moment of area

    thanks for your response tom."parallel to the axis of the shell" makes it clear to find the appropriate orientation to have max possible moment of inertia.

    available second moment of area

    thread794-187769 Im just doing some calculations for stiffening rings for a cylinderical pressure vessel under external pressure. Refering to UG-29 can someone help me for the formula for finding "available moment of inertia, I" in the definition given. The stiffened ring is a rectangular cross...

    reinforcement for flat base plate for a vessel

    thanks for suggestions everyone. TGS4, there is no specific requirement for a flat plate for this neutralizer tank but I wanted to compare the cost of it to for example a dished end and see which one would be cheaper to install assuming the same material.

    reinforcement for flat base plate for a vessel

    Hi everyone, Im trying to look into desiging a flat base plate for a pressure vessel and then make it stonger by adding reinforcement bars on it and then compare this to the cost of making a thicker flat base. I cannot find any rules for design of the reinforcement of base plate in...
