Design Calculations of Bolted tubesheet on a annular ring welded to the shell
Hello, I am new learner for mechanical design of bolted tube-sheet and annular ring welded to shell. I am chemical engineer and know nothing about mechanical engineering design. Can anyone help me with formula or calculation excel sheet for calculating the thickness. The filter vessel is 813 mm OD with 14 mm thickness (ID 785 mm) carbon steel. The tube-sheet and annular ring will be SS316L. The tube-sheet will have 10 holes of 161 mm ID to accommodate the filter elements in it. We get a empty circumferential space of 44 mm to drill holes and attach the tube-sheet in the annular ring. Can some one help me with the mechanical design calculations? or give me a excel sheet with calculations. Will be highly indebted.
