Description
This spreadsheet calculates wind forces on horizontal cylindrical pressure vessels and heat exchangers per ASCE 7 or project-specified wind codes. It determines wind pressure on the projected area of the vessel shell, nozzles, platforms, and insulation. Key inputs include vessel outer diameter and length, insulation thickness, wind speed, exposure category, and importance factor. Key outputs include design wind pressure, wind force per unit length, base shear, and overturning moment. Targeted at structural and mechanical engineers, EPC contractors, and foundation designers. Editable Excel format. Engineering support available — contact 3D-LABS.
