STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Wind Moment: 370440000 Newton Millimeter --> 370440 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)
Mean Diameter of Skirt: 19893.55 Millimeter --> 19.89355 Meter (Check conversion here)
Axial Bending Stress at Base of Vessel: 1.01 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 1010000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_skirt = (4*M_w)/(pi*(D_sk)^(2)*f_wb) --> (4*370440)/(pi*(19.89355)^(2)*1010000)

Evaluating ... ...

t_skirt = 0.00118000009093532

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00118000009093532 Meter -->1.18000009093532 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.18000009093532 ≈ 1.18 Millimeter <-- Thickness of Skirt in Vessel

What is Vessel Support in Process Equipment Design?

In equipment design, vessel support refers to the structural support provided to vessels or tanks used in various industrial processes. Vessels or tanks are used to store or transport various types of materials such as liquids, gases, and solids in industries such as chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing.The design of vessel support in equipment design must comply with various standards and codes, such as the American Petroleum Institute (API) standards, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) codes, and other international standards. The vessel support design must also be approved by regulatory bodies, such as local or national authorities, before construction or installation can begin.Overall, vessel support in equipment design is a critical aspect of industrial processes involving the use of vessels or tanks.

What is Design Thickness?

Design thickness refers to the calculated minimum thickness required for a component, such as a pipe, vessel, or plate, to safely withstand its operating conditions and loads. The design thickness is based on various factors, including the material properties, operating temperature and pressure, corrosion allowances, and safety factors. It is an essential consideration in engineering design to ensure the structural integrity and safety of a component under all expected conditions of use.
