Hello,
I'm new in this site and at this kind of work. But I was asked to verify some calculations of a pressure vessel design.
The design is of a horizontal water boiler with 1500 l capacity (800mm radius) and 4,0 kg/cm2 pressure.
I'm researching the subject, my main sources are ASME Division 1, Zick's paper and Dennis Moss's book.
In this design the support of the vessel have no ribs, just the wearplate, web and baseplate (about 6mm thickness). In my research I never found any saddle without ribs, but I'm new at this.
So my question is, is this common? Or even allowed?
Thanks
