Support ring for Packing inside vertical vessel

[Steve.sw90]

I need to design a ring supporting packing inside a vertical vessel, I have started with Roark's formula for stress and strain but confused which case i should consider.

I would like to know if there is any other approach.

Steve.sw90, I would expect the usual pressure vessel handbooks address this feature.

Mike

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

Depending on your geometry, it may be multiple load cases superimposed, or may not fit any of the load cases.
