Dear members,
I am working on a horizontal vessel currently that has an ID of 78" and a wall thickness of 0.375”. This is a Stainless Steel vessel therefore my goal is to keep costs as low as possible by limiting the shell thickness. I have designed the vessel in Compress and I have no...
My company is currently looking for new software to do our piping analysis. We currently use the old Algor PipePak. The support has ended for that. We are looking in to CEASER but have a little sticker shock. Are there other programs out there that offer a real bang for the buck? We don't want...
I have decided to go with 0.5" Plate to minimize fabrication thus requiring the need for only 2 supports. I am going with vertical supports water and air from being trapped in the support beams. I am giving the plate a uniform pressure for simplicity P=2.2psi. attached is a sketch with my calcs...
Figure 1 is just showing the height of the weir. Sorry should have said a uniform pressure and yes I do plan on having vertical stiffeners with a piece of angle that runs horizontally along the span of the top of the weir.
Also I forgot to add that for the uniform load I used 2.2psi.
Attached is page 2 and 3 from "Steel Plate Engineering Data - Vol. 2,"http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=253f4048-57c1-4389-8ed8-17d1a9326fc6&file=Plate_Design_pg2and3.pdf
Attached is a simple sketch of what I am looking to design.
dhenger-
I was looking at equation 3 on page 2. According to this formula it shows that there is no need for spacing and we all know that is not true. I used 18.8 ksi for f which is what the material is rated for at that temp.
Going...
"rb,
only if there was a standard stiffner !? (and a standard load, etc).
no, each stiffening is designed for the particular case ... you may want a few large stiffeners, or lots of small ones."
I am not asking for a standard stiffener but a standard to calculate the distance required between...
It is not a school project and it has been a while since I have been in school and I might add I was a great student. It has been a while since I have tackled problems like this. I have asked my lead and he has been helping i just wanted to get a second opinion. I was looking through a book...
I am designing weir in a cylinder. I want to make it out of steel plate. the diameter of the cylinder is 150" the height of the weir is 120". I know the thickness of the plate is 0.375". Assuming that one side of the plate filled to the top with water and on the other side is dry. How do I find...
