Input Cell
Output Cells
Weight of Empty Vessel W = 5000 N

Thickness of pad Tp = 10 mm
Half of the circumferential angle between Lugs. = 30 deg.
Load per Lug F/n = 45000 N
Radial Load, P =FxI/n = 45000 N
Circumferential Shear, VC = F (tan ) / n = 25981 N
Longitudinal Shear, VL = 0.05 (F/n) = 2250 N
Longitudinal Moment, ML = P x d + VL (Tp + T/2) = 4533750 N-mm
Torsional Moment, MT = VC x d = 2598074 N-mm
Circumferential Moment, MC = VC (Tp + T/2) = 389711 N-mm
