PROCEDURE OF WRC-107 CALCULATIONS FOR TRUNNION

Horizontal lift

SKETCH

Step 1 Note values from output file of PVElite, as shown below.

Import data from PV elite

Step 2 Open PVElite

Step 3 In PV Elite, Click this button -->

(To start design of lifting lug)

Step 4 A new window "COADE CALC" will open, Go to Step 4

Step 4 Go to 'Analysis'→'Choose Analysis type'→'Legs and Lugs'
As shown below in sketch

Step 5 A new window will open. Click " +" new Item button

Step 6 Fill in the data from Datasheet or PVElite output file and select trunnion in " Analysis Type"
box as indicated below:
 Inputs required
By program

Step 7A Provide following values for calculating Axial Load, Normal Load, Tangential Load.
Weight of Empty Vessel (From Step 1 and convert it into Newtons) W= 15000 N
No. of Trunnions n= 2

Load Per Trunnion W/n = 7500 N

FOR HORIZONTAL LIFT ORIENTATION

Axial Load, 5% of (W / n) = 375 N
Normal Load W/n = 7500 N
Tangential Load 5% of (W / n) = 375 N

Step 7B Now click ">>" button as indcated above. New window " Dialog" will open. Fill in the
specifications for trunnion (as calculated in Step 7A) and check in the box for WRC 107
calculation as indicated in the figure below:

Figure shown below helps selecting Dimension of trunnion

Step 8 Click OK in dialog window, click Load and fill in the vessel empty weight
(from Step 1) and occasional load factor.As shown below:

Step 9 Now Save your program by clicking →

Step 10 Analyze your program by clicking →

Step 11 Read at the end of Report.

Step 12 If the results are "Fail. Go to Step 7B & try with different geometrical dimensions.
Unless you get Passed message.
