I am trying to check some support lug calcs using Pressure Vessel Design Handbook, 2nd Ed. by H. Bednar.
On page 156, there is a "maximum stress in base plate" equation which has a variable Beta. This is followed later by a line with "For 15/12 = 1.25, Beta = 0.72", where 15 is the radial width...
What is the potential for reduced integrity of a SS 304/316 pressure vessel with SA516 support lugs, legs, etc. (welded to a a SS pad on the shell)? I thought vendors would typically use SS supports when the amt. of material is small compared to the plates / flanges however I am seeing a fair...
I am trying to check some lifting lug calcs using Pressure Vessel Design Manual (by Moss) mainly. I have come across some conflicting methods / conventions when compared to other literature. The scenario is:
standard plate-type lifting lug with gusset, checking the lug-to-pad weld when lifting...
