[PSUBS-MAILIST] conical transitions

[brian]

What I was concerned about was the cylinder, I have ribs every 12", where the cylinder meets the sphere (at the end of the cylinder) I guess I need a rib as close to that weld as practical.  Seems like the 1" thick "nozzel" would serve the same purpose as the rib.

Theoretically the sphere would only need to be half the thickness of the shell.

On mine I'm planning on a 1" thick collar welded to the sphere then the cylinder to that .

Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] conical transitionsHi All,  I have been through that problem and you have to have a good sized stiffener there of some sort.  I could not afford the room as an intrusion of internal space.This is the solution and the angle of the additional reinforcing cone is 22.5 degrees being half the 45 degrees of the cone.  This survived an FEA analysis.  The end of the cone is where my window was attached.This was a 48” shell  .

Joe, ABS says stiffened cones are to have their ends bounded by two heavy stiffeners each located as close as possible to the point of cone-to-cylinder transition.
The stiffener is not located on the weld line but as close as possible to it.

            Is that T ring directly on the weld line, or offset any distance?
