Platform/Ladder Loads on Pressure Vessels
Platform/Ladder Loads on Pressure Vessels
(OP)
Hello,
Can anyone help me out to calculate in pressure vessel, at each point on external surface, what will be the max. forces and moments it can withstand.
Also can i equate above values over the external loads if any, without perfoming WRC-107 calculation.
Regards,
saku

RE: Platform/Ladder Loads on Pressure Vessels
For a global force/moment you can do this simple calculation,
Axial force / Cross-section area + bending moment / section modulus.
You also have consider the effect of these loads on the support.
If it is a concentrated load then use some thing like WRC-107 to evaluate it.
