Dear pennpiper,
I usually use a three point guide for stilling well pipe, but, for this case, my client specified a nozzle in the top and other in the botton of the vessel. The stilling pipe will be between these nozzles and it will be welded. I can´t use a guide for this case.
I need to install a stilling pipe (stand pipe) inside of the vessel. It will be welded in the botton and in the top inside of the shell.
For a safe design, what kind of calculation I need to do?
An Expansion bellow will be required in the stilling pipe?
The internal pressure will be 25bar.
Excuse me for not explaining right.
I want to calculate the blind cover of a lifting lug to use for lifting a vessel. The blind cover is bolted to a top vessel flange. I need to know which condition I have to use: edge simply supported or edge fixed as boundary conditions for my model.
Colleagues,
to design a base plate for a top flange lug, I want to use formulas for flat circular plates of constant thickness of Roark’s Formulas for Stress and Strain Ed. VII.
Which condition I need to considerer for this calculation: edge simply supported (like cases 16 and 20 of Roark Ed...
