Piping-nozzle elevation designing question.
Piping-nozzle elevation designing question.
(OP)
On the body of Regenerator/Regenarator feed flash drum, a 8” hand hole nozzle provided but I would not experience to design the best elevation for this nozzle.
Is there anyone experience in designing the best solution elevation for the nozzle (I could only mean the saying elevation is counting from wing platform).
My so-far designed it at 1900mm for drawing review submission.
Thank you&Best regards,

RE: Piping-nozzle elevation designing question.
You did not give us a lot of information so it will be hard for anyone to offer specific help. Two suggestions. First, I would suggest that you talk to the Vessel Engineer responsible for this vessel. He (or she) may be able to help.
My other suggestion is this. A "Hand Hole" on a large vessel is normally there for a purpose. Someone is required to reach inside the vessel during catalyst loading or unloading (assuming there is catalyst) or during the installation of internals to secure or release some device.
You only need to identify the access requirement and insure that the location you select allows the proper reach and ability to perform the task.

pennpiper is correct as to
"You only need to identify the access requirement and insure that the location you select allows the proper reach and ability to perform the task"
I do not know your operation but 1900 mm is a few inches taller than the average male height and significantly higher than average female height (you need to know how and why the operators must perform their required task). Arms get tired quickly when they are raised above shoulder height for any period of time.
You know your intended operation as I do not, hence sometimes it is prudent to talk with the operators of the equipment because they know what works best for them and what doesn't.
Frequently, operators are asked for input during the design phase since they are the ones who must operate equipment on a routine basis and not some middle manager whom knows numbers but doesn't know the reality as to how things are done.
RE: Piping-nozzle elevation designing question.
Thank you a lot for prompt helps. Just to simply say that is a required nozzle, hand hole nozzle, on a 94 meters height column tower and 8 inches in diameter sizing. And I could only know above said information. But I think that your reply will help me to do further.
Kindest regards,
