Also i have checked DENNIS MOSS PRESSURE VESSEL DESIGN MANUAL PAGE 418 and 419, it does not talk about shell thickness but only about lug and weld. Thank you.
I appreciate all the replies.
In reply to ash008 i want to double check if there is no formula to find shell thickness while lifting.
Also according to ash i can go for calcuation based on external pressure- what i understand is that external force is compression force on shell and when lifting...
Hello.
We had a problem when compress was showing error to lift the vessel(30,000 lbs) because the shell (3/8" thick)was weak. So we are using repad with lifting lug.
I need the formula to calculate shell thickness required to make sure the shell is good when lifted. Please help. Thank you.
