Hi all,
Are pads must for platform clips/ Pipe support clips?
I referred ASME Sec.VIII Div.1 App.G, under the sub topic G-2. What i understand is, that clips are not necessary until our shell is strong enough to withstand the load.....but when used it may serve us to reduce the secondary...
Hi rocky,
There are no formula to find shell thickness while lifting, but u can go for calculation based on external pressure taking the lifting weight(conver it to pressure) as external pressure.
Moreover addition of repads doesnot provide strength to ur vessel.
