SnTMan - I have added rinforcement. it didnt work.
Vesselfab - Horizontal vessel design is in my scope. Iam confused to assign following values in PV Elite.
Cumulative Wind Shear : 17629.5 N
Wind Bending : 62.54E+06 N-mm
Abs Max of the all of the Stress Ratio's : 0.2995
Total Wind Shear on...
I have a clarification on an ongoing design and thought it is worth seeking guidance.Iam designing a tall vertical vessel with following configuration.
Bottom - 24'' Flange
Shell
Top - 24'' Flange and Blind Flange
I have modelled a dummy skirt and an inter connecting flange to force Wind...
chicopee - I have done manual calculations as per the guidelines set in Pressure Vessel handbook. Results are comparable.
Now I have another issue in transfering these loads to Horizontal Vessel Nozzle (Where this vertical column is connected). Nozzle fails WRC calculation due to excess...
Thank You all for your responses. I had modelled a Dummy Skirt and Dummy mating flange to get wind load calculation. I was not sure if it was an acceptable solution.
SNORGY - I had posted this in PV Elite forum (COADE) and didnt get any response. I guess PV ELite forum is not as active as...
Let me shed some light to the configuration. Horizontal vessel is used as a Reboiler and Vertical vessel as a still column connected to the reboiler via 22'' Nozzle. Reboiler is separately designed and U Stamped. Still column (Vertical Vessel) needs to be designed separately.
Attached...
Thanks gr2vessels for your advice. My question was as advice on calculating Wind Loads. PV Elite, to my understanding, does not perform wind calculation in the absence of Skirt/Legs.
Anyone experienced in Pressure vessel design & worked in PV Elite respond to my query please...

Good Afternoon,
I have a situation to design a Vertical Column (9m Height approx) attached to a 22inch (custom design) Nozzle of a Horizontal vessel. Our scope is limited to the supply of vertical column which will be installed to horizontal vessel at site.
My queries as follows.
1) How does...
