Quick Opening Closure (Clutch Door) Design
Quick Opening Closure (Clutch Door) Design
(OP)
Hai all.
Good day. I would like to know how quick opening closure are designed from scratch. I understand that it takes year of experience and understanding to design one for use in pressure vessel. I cant seem to find a definitive answer on how and where to find the design calculations regarding this.
As per ASME 35.2, it does not specify any specific design calculations but rather says that we should design QOC by mechanical calculations.
Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

The one that I was recently trying to find design guides for was the breech lock, if you happen to find anything on these, please PM me.
Good luck.

Unfortunately im in the same dilemma with you about the breech lock. Have tried finding everywhere for a proper design guide but to no avail.
I guess this is a really tightly kept secret.
