Abstract |
|
In reactors, catalyst support rings and tray support rings that support heavy catalyst beds and catalyst support grids, are subjected to high pressure and temperature and other dead loads, so their safe design is essential as they are critical parts in a reactor and their finite element analysis is carried out using ASME Sec VIII Div.2 in the industry. Analysis of skirt support to bottom head junction is also very important as this welded joint is subjected to wind loads, seismic loads, dead loads, high thermal gradient etc. The skirt support supports the whole reactor so the welded joint must be strong enough to endure stresses due to various reasons. This safety can be determined using FEA software using ASME Sec VIII Div.2. |
