Tangential Support Lugs

Tangential Support Lugs

Tangential Support Lugs

(OP)
I am designing a vertical drum with agitator supported by tangential support lugs. Please provide me handbook reference for the design of tangential support lugs. I believe it cannot be designed through PV Elite. I understand FEA is an option , but if I can do manually it is the best option. Thanks.

Hi, The support lugs are tangential not radial.. If any alternate design methodologies other the FEA please advise.Thanks.

RE: Tangential Support Lugs

The Pressure Vessel Handbook or the Pressure Vessel Design Manual. Remember all vessels shall be so supported and the supporting members shall be arranged and/or attached to the vessel wall in such a way as to provide for the maximum imposed loadings.This would be at test or at operating whichever has more load (weight).

RE: Tangential Support Lugs

Please show a dwg or sketch of your intended supports. It is not clear from your description and terms.
