ASME SEC VII - Pressure Vessel - Tonnage
ASME SEC VII - Pressure Vessel - Tonnage
(OP)
For a vessel of 3.350 m dia & 26.200 m length (T-T) and design pressure of 20 bar, So the approximate shell thickness will be 24mm by considering 3mm corrosion allowance.
i need to know the approximate tonnage for the above mentioned Pressure Vessel in empty condition.
Can any one help me to find the above said requirement.
Vessel wall weight i can calculate but the weight of saddle support etc i can't, since i don't have any calculation softwares.
Thanks in Advance.

RE: ASME SEC VII - Pressure Vessel - Tonnage
All you need is to know the head form and the internals weight and saddle/support weights plus nozzles weight to do the calculation!!
Unless the material is something funny (Aluminium/GRP/Lead)- but even then as long as you know the density it can be estimated!!!

Yes, As u said the weight for the vessel and head i can calculate. But weight for the support? I think for this larger size vessel the saddle support weight also significant role. Can you please put some light on it.
