Horizontal Vessel Weight Calculator
Here is a table format with estimated weights based on common parameters for horizontal vessels:
| Parameter | Description | Estimation Formula/Value |
|---|---|---|
| Vessel Diameter (D) | Outer diameter of the vessel | Typically in meters (m) |
| Vessel Length (L) | Length of the vessel | Typically in meters (m) |
| Wall Thickness (t) | Thickness of the vessel wall | Typically in millimeters (mm) |
| Material Density (ρ) | Density of the construction material | Typically in kg/m³ (e.g., Steel ~ 7850 kg/m³) |
| Head Type | Type of heads (e.g., ellipsoidal, hemispherical) | Standard weight factors (multipliers) |
| Corrosion Allowance | Extra thickness for corrosion | Typically in millimeters (mm) |
| Insulation Weight | Weight of insulation material | Typically in kg/m² |
| Nozzles & Attachments | Estimated weight of nozzles and attachments | Percentage of vessel weight (e.g., 10-20%) |
| Support Weight | Estimated weight of supports | Percentage of vessel weight (e.g., 5-10%) |
