Lifting Lug Calculations

As per Pressure Vessel Design Manual by Deniss Moss

ErectionWeightoftheequipment We = 497.3 kgs
= 4878.51 N
Angleoflift = 45 degree
Nooflugs n = 2
Impactfactor I.F. = 2
Loadperlug P = We*I.F./n*sin()
= 6899.26 N
Materialoflug = SA516Gr.485(70)
YieldStress Sy = 260 N/mm2
Allowabletensilestress(Sect.IIPartD) Sta = 138 N/mm3
Allowableshearstress(0.4Sy) Ssa = 104 N/mm4
Allowablebendingstress(0.67Sy) Sba = 174.2 N/mm5
Max.allowableHertzianstress(2*Sy) Sha = 520 N/mm2
Lugthickness t = 10 mm
Widthofthelug A = 80 mm
Distanceofholefromlug B = 60 mm
Weldsize w1 = 8 mm
ModulusofElasticityofmaterial E = 210000 N/mm2
Diameterofholeforpin d = 30 mm
Diameterofpin R2 = 25 mm

Actualbendingstress Sb = 6*P*B/A^2*t
= 38.81 N/mm2

Actualshearstress Ss = P/(AD)*t
= 13.8 N/mm2

Actualtensilestress St = P/(Ad)*t
= 13.8 N/mm2

Hertzianstressduetobearing Sh = 0.418*(E*P/t*(dR2))/d*R2)^0.5
= 410.81 N/mm2

Actualshearstressinweld Sww = 6*P*B/A^2*tw*0.707

= 68.61 N/mm2
