deisgn of inclined equipments

Apart from going with computer software / FEA analysis:

Did you look at the following book:

Pressure Vessel Design

by: Donatello Annaratone

Published by Springer

You might be able to work with chapter 9 - particularly Section 9.2: Local Effects of Forces and Moments on Cylinders.

Dear Sir,

Kindly accept my thanks receipt for the guidence,

Since that book is not available at the moment to me,can you pl provide extract of that particular chapters.i am asking for your precious time in helping me.

Looking forward for your generous cooperation

I placed the relevant sections online - please see the following sites for download

If there is anything else, please get back to me

Avina,

Did you find that information useful - I have more if need be.

Dear Sir,

Extremely thanks for the links ,i got it from there.but this book also does not provides clear idea or design guidelines for design of inclined vessel or saddles having different heights.what i found is, it is same lines with zick & Moss hand book.

I am looking for relevant data for inclined vessels,if 2 saddles are of different heights are used then induced stresses will be different.

pl reply

Fair enough,

However, that is quite the specific application and I don't think you are going to easily find literature on it.

What I suggest you do is design the saddles as per horizontal and then "transpose" the moment that will be induced by inclining them.

Does that make sense?

I hate to advertise another forum, but I would also suggest checking out this site:

The guys there seem to be quite knowledge.

I am also going through all my literature to try and came up with a more specific application for you, if I find something I will let you know.

Cheers

1- Compute as horizontal with respect to pressure and bending due to own weight

2- Due to the differences an axial load will occur which you should take on the upper saddle to avoid compression of the structure which could lead to local buckling. Consider for saddle dimensions the effects of the axial load mentioned above.

3- Fix axially on only one saddle to allow expansion at higher temperatures

4- Compute stresses due to axial loads and add to the loads under horizontal conditions. verify the sum magnitude considering material behaviour at highest temperature
