    How to calculate stresses in knuckle due to lifting lug

    Hi Colleagues: It is a habit to put lifting lugs in head knuckle but unfortunatelly it is so difficult (almost impossible) to find example works related to how determine stress in this zone. Could anyone explain me how to perform this calcs without using FEM? I would be very appreciated...

    Api tank with an intermediate cone API 650/API 620/ EN14015.

    Dear Colleagues: At this moment , i'm designing a tank using European standard to perform all calcs. But when I try to obtain results for conical course with apex angle equal to 30 or less. The exactly problem is to find an method using referred codes to determine requires thickness in...

    Choker Design

    Dear Colleagues: I have checked for a Cinch to lift a equipment using 2 of this type. We have checked critical points and we know very well the responsibility of kind of lifting. Problem to me at this point, I try to evaluate using Moss pag 416 (transp and erection ....)but unfortunatelly we...

    Nozzle loads in a flat wall of rectangular tank

    Dear fegenbush: I have reviewed the contents of the version to which you refer (index) and, apparently does not seem to have changed much, I understand to be a case similar to Moss. Does anyone know if in the Kanti Mahajan's handbook is developed the matter of flat wall surfaces and nozzle...

    Nozzle loads in a flat wall of rectangular tank

    Thanks fegenbush for your promptly answer. So, I have Megyessey handbook from almost 15 years but their info it is not adequate for to perform this calc. I understand that if I use the method there explained it is limited to a deflexion value lesser than 0.5*thickness. I only need a method...

    Nozzle loads in a flat wall of rectangular tank

    Dear Colleagues: It may seem a bit strange matter I'm talking about but would like to have your cooperation in the field. I wonder, if possible, a method "analytic" not by FEM to determine the effect of nozzle external loads on the flat wall of a rectangular tank. This tank is full of any...

    Horizontal equipment on one saddle

    Good Morning Colleagues: Thanks for to express your oppinions and advices to my "oddity". I understand your reactions due to use of one saddle but money and crisis commands and it is difficult to figth against "to all the we have done it thus life and it has not failed to us nor have...

    Horizontal equipment on one saddle

    Dear Colleagues: Thanks but geometry should be as you see, changes are not allowed. JStephen, i'll check following your advise, it sounds reasonable. I Will perform calcs only in aspects related stresses at neiborhood of unique saddle. It will be hard to apply in head location. Thanks in...

    Horizontal equipment on one saddle

    Hi JStephen: Unfournatelly I Can't change this configuration. It deals to a horizontal tank conected to a compressor so it will be almost impossible to change. It's a little tank od500 x tl long = 1360 mm, 8 mm thk. and it have only 1 saddle located at the middle of unit. I have my serious...

    Horizontal equipment on one saddle

    Dear Colleagues: Have anyone experience in this kind of calculation? avoid, of course, finite element method?. Design by formules will be more appreciated than FEM. Zick method appears not applicable to this situation but WRC Method are not suitable. Please, help me to find an adequated...

    Elbow thickness calculation

    Thanks for your promptly answer: I understand this point but another codes make correction due to radius, i know that it will be very important to take in account 12.5% thickness due to tolerance. Due to this , i just want to compare another experience but i'll follow your advise. Once again...

    Elbow thickness calculation

    Dear colleages: At this moment, i'm making an elbow thickness calculation. Material carbon steel, pressure 6 barg , NPS 10 inch, this data is only for reference not relevant. I don't wanna use shell calculation because i consider that it should be corrected using radius of curvature, etc. I...
