DESIGN OF DAVIT
In accordance with pressure vessel design manual by Dennis Moss

Notation : -
P Axial Load 335 kg = 739 lbs
A Cross-sectional area 19.458 cm = 3.016 in
Z Section modulus 36.46 cm = 2.225 in
r Radius of gyration 2.885 cm = 1.136 in
tp Wall thickness of pipe davit 7.62 mm = 0.3 in
a Outside radius of pipe 44.45 mm = 1.75 in
L1 Length of davit 562 mm = 22.12 in
L2 Height of pipe from support 375 mm = 14.76 in
fa Axial Stress 17.22 kg/cm = 244.78 lb/in
fb Bending stress
Fa Allowable axial stress 13250 psi
Fb Allowable bending stress 21000 psi
K Stress coefficients
R Radius of bent of davit 305 mm = 12 in
M1 Bending moment in davit at top support
M2 Maximum bending moment in curved davit
I Moment of Inertia 162.09 cm4 = 3.8943 in4
Fy Minimum specified yield stress 35000 psi
fv Vertical force 335 kg = 739 lbs
fh Horizontal force 335 kg = 739 lbs
W1 Weight of davit 16 kg = 35 lbs

Size of davit pipe used - OD 88.9mm * 7.62mm thk

Weight of blind flange - 293.00 kg
Weight of nozzle N2 - 24.00 kg
Weight of nozzle N5 - 5.8 kg
Miscellaneous weight - 10 kg
Hence Total weight of the blind flange is 332.8 kg ~ 335 kg

Material Specification of davit pipe - SA-106 Gr B

Yield strength of pipe = Fy = 35000 psi
Allowable bending stress Fb = 0.6*Fy = 21000 psi
Allowable axial stress Fa = 13250 psi (From sec VIII Div 1 Appendix-L, Ed 2007
allowable compressive stress for columns)

Axial Stress fa = P = 17.22 kg/cm2 = 244.78 lb/in

Maximum bending moment incured at davit M2

M2 = M1 (L2 - R)
L2
= 5168.72 in-lb

Bending Stress at

Z

M2, fb = M2 * a * 2
I (3K 3*)
= 2011.68 psi

Combined stress
fa + fb = <1
Fa Fb

Hence combined stress at M1

0.61 <1

Hence combined stress at M2

0.11 <1

Thus we can conclude that the provided davit pipe is adequate as the combined stress is
Lesser than 1.
