For Vessels in Heating Mentles Overview
When vessels are placed within heating mantles, the structural support frame around them must adhere to minimum dimension guidelines based on vessel size and tube selection. The “for vessels (in heating mentles)” specification in the catalogue gives recommended tube sizes (NB) and minimum frame depths and widths (mm × mm) to ensure that the vessel is properly housed and supported within the heating mantle structure. This ensures that the support frame provides sufficient space for mantle insulation, thermal expansion, and service access while maintaining structural stability. The support frame also needs to maintain alignment and avoid imposing stress on the vessel shell or its mounting points.
Specifications
**Recommended Minimum Frame Sizes for Vessels in Heating Mantles**
| Vessel Volume (L) | Tube Size NB (mm) | Min Frame Depth × Width (mm × mm) | |——————–|——————–|—————————————| | 20 | 25 | 400 × 600 | | 50 | 25 | 600 × 800 | | 100 | 25, 30 | 800 × 800 | | 200 | 30 | 800 × 1000 |
**Design Considerations**
– Ensure enough room for the mantle’s heating element and insulation
– Maintain clearance around the vessel for thermal expansion, instrumentation, and maintenance
– Frame must impose no undesirable lateral or bending loads on vessel supports
– Use matching tube NB as recommended or higher for added stiffness
– Integrate with base frames, guide supports, and bracing to maintain overall system rigidity
Applications
These guidelines are used for:
– Designing support frames for vessels inside heating mantles used in laboratory or pilot plant setups
– Ensuring clearance, access, and thermal isolation in heating assemblies
– Retrofitting frames for existing mantle-vessel systems
– Assuring that the vessel plus mantle fit within a rigid frame that can resist lateral load
– Environments with thermal cycling, requiring allowance for expansion and insulation clearance
