Description
Vessel Saddle Reactions during Transport Calculation
Engineering Spreadsheet — Instant Download
What This Spreadsheet Does
Calculates saddle support reactions for pressure vessels under transport acceleration. Vessel shipping (road, rail, sea) imposes dynamic loads larger than the static weight — this sheet quantifies those reactions for transport saddle design and tie-down sizing.
What’s Inside the Excel File
- Inputs — vessel weight, length, CG, saddle locations, transport mode (road / rail / sea), acceleration G-factors per mode
- Static reaction per saddle
- Longitudinal acceleration reactions
- Transverse acceleration reactions
- Vertical (bump) acceleration reactions
- Combined worst-case reaction envelope
- Tie-down load for restraint sizing
Who This Is For
- Vessel transport and logistics engineers
- EPC project teams on heavy lift / out-of-gauge loads
- Vessel fabricators preparing shipping packages
- Transport saddle and trailer designers
Codes & Standards Referenced
- IMO Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing (sea transport)
- Standard road transport acceleration factors (e.g., 1.0g longitudinal deceleration)
- Operator-specific shipping specifications
