Vertical vessel legs support

Vertical vessel legs support

Vertical vessel legs support

(OP)
Dear,

Is there any standards for the design of the legs support in the CS vertical (small:L=2m&D=0.7m)pressure vessel containing 700 l of compressed air @ 40 bar, 20 C°.
In fact I can't find in the ASME BPVC Section VIII DIV 1 any indication. Else should I do the sizing using my manual calculation?

Regards.

RE: Vertical vessel legs support

7mayda, this type of design is usually done per a pressure vessel handbook, such as Moss or Bednar. Perhaps with a WRC 107 type calc for the attachment to the shell.

Regards,

Mike

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

RE: Vertical vessel legs support

Design of legs is covered in the various pressure vessel handbooks, and methods used vary.

RE: Vertical vessel legs support

Suggest that you use a ring support ...... Just specify your vessel and simply buy a commercial grade vessel.

See PIP (Process Industry Practices) VEFV1000 Vessel/S&T Heat Exchanger Standard Details.
Required thickness and dimensions must be determined by calculations using the design loads and allowable stresses at design temperature.

If you decide to weld the legs on a NB/ASME pressure vessel, I believe that you are alterating the original design, therefore, check alteration section of the National Board Inspection Code for guideline on their requirements.
