Chapter VIII

A case for Pressure Vessel Design


Please design a liquid ammonia tank. The inner diameter is
2500mm, the length of tank cylinder body is 4800 mm. Working
address: Tianjin.

Solution:
[Link] thickness of cylinder
According to the material property, we will choose Q245R (carbon
steel)to produce the tank cylinder and head.

3 saddle support
Firstly, calculate the loading on saddle.
Total loading：m=m1+m2+m3+m4
m1-cylinder weight；
m2-head weight；
m3- liquid ammonia weight；
m4-accessory weight
Cylinder weight m1 , DN=2600mm，dn=16mm，according to
GB150-2011, q1=1030Kg/m （weight of steel per meter），
m1=q1L=4944(Kg)

Head weight m2 , ellipsoidal head DN=2600mm，n=16mm，


according to GB/T25198-2010 h=40mm q2=975Kg
m2=2q2=1950(Kg)
(3) liquid ammonia weight m3 m3=αVγ
α is volume ratio ，0.7；
γ is the density of liquid ammonia,665Kg/m3
V volume: V=Vhead+Vcylinder=30.51m3,
m3＝0.7×30.42×665=14202 Kg

(4) accessory weight m4


Manhole is around 200Kg, other pipes is around 300Kg，
m4=500Kg
The total weight
m=m1+m2+m3+m4=4944+1950+14202+500=21596 kg
Q=mg/2=105 kN

Each saddle support will undertake 105kN loading.


According to JB／T4712.1-2007, we will choose the light saddle
support with base plate, the angle is 120°,the support number is
A2600-F

According to the temperature and pressure 1.6MPa，the


manhole was chosen .
