Design Analysis Report of 6 Ton Lifting Load Capacity Trunnion

1. Scope of Work

The scope of work includes design and stress calculations of 02 No. of identical lifting trunnion welded on
the top of vessel having inside diameter of 4400 mm and thickness 10 mm. Cross beams are welded inside
the vessel just opposite side of the location of trunnion as support stiffeners to avoid any buckling of
vessel inside. The other purpose of welding the inside stiffeners to cater the nozzle edge and pad edge
stresses of trunnion produced during lifting.

2. Purpose

The purpose of lifting trunnions are to lift the vessel having approximate weight of 12-ton total lift weight.

3. Codes and Standards

The following codes and standards are used for the design and analysis of the trunnion and lifting eye

 ASME Section VIII Div-1 Latest Edition

 WRC-107
 Pressure Vessel Design Manual Dennis Moss 4rth Edition

4. Material Specification

Trunnion Material SA-240 304 L

UNS No. S30403

Yield Stress SY= 171.11 N/mm2

5. Software Used

Code Calc 2019 of Intergraph CADWorks and Analysis Solution

6. Design Assumption

The following design criteria and assumption are used for the analysis of trunnion and lifting eye

 Total Lift Load of the equipment considered= 12 Ton

 Total number of trunnion contributing in the lifting = 02
 Per trunnion load considered for analysis= 12 /2 = 6 ton
 Impact factor = 1.5
 Total Lift weight considered for analysis per trunnion and lifting eye= 9 ton
 It is assumed that there is no lateral force acting during the lifting activity
 Load is being lifting straight vertically without any sling or angle
7. SUMMARY OF RESULTS:
Trunnion unity check value: 0.6749
Actual Allowable Pass/Fail
Bending Stress (N./mm^2) 49.36 112.93 Pass
Shear Stress (N./mm^2) 16.28 68.44 Pass
Bearing Stress (N./mm^2) 32.78 128.33 Pass
 8. Conclusion

The trunnions are safe to use for lifting 12 ton of weight; 6 ton on each 02 trunnion provided the load is
lifted straight up vertically
