Sengna Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Does the ellipse look correct? on the right side view on the red arrow point to, I projected the ellipse from the top view, the reason the ellipse looks so long is because I want to 6” ss pipe tangential to the 54 in tank. any other easier way to do beside doing from 3D?

steven-g Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 It won't be an ellipse, a better description would be teardrop shaped, try it in 3D and see. Maybe someone with pipefitting experience will know of a simple method to do this. Quote

I was a beginner in inventor but still i am not that far yet. i thought i should be an ellipse though Steven-g Quote
steven-g Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 It probably has a more technical name, but it's the best I could come up with Quote
ReMark Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) The shape will not be elliptical. Here is an example. The tank is 36" in diameter. Wall thickness is 3/8". A 2" pipe (2 3/8" O.D.) was used to penetrate the tank. Visual style: 2D wireframe. We don't normally follow this technique when making a sideways entry to a tank as we prefer to enter a couple of inches in from the quadrant point resulting in a less elongated hole.

Sengna Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 Do u know the reason why they chose this technique to have the pipe penatrate the tank this way? Remark or someone. Can you please show me for how will my hole will look like? How do I project the line from top view? Tank is 54", 3/8 thick and 6" pipe. I away from my computer at the moment Quote
ReMark Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Who is this 'they" you are referring to? Your client? Is that a 54" diameter or radius? Quote
ReMark Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 The opening in your tank would look something like this. Quote
ReMark Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Front view (of 3D tank). Previous view was a SE isometric. Quote
Sengna Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 Who is this 'they" you are referring to? Your client? Is that a 54" diameter or radius? 54" is the Dia of the tank, sorry Quote
ReMark Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Well that's what I used for the diameter of the tank I drew. Quote
rkent Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 This is used for separation purposes, usually separating solids from water, or maybe a vacuum tower to remove air from water, etc. Quote
Sengna Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 As a 2D flat shot. [ATTACH]55423[/ATTACH] so that is the end of the pipe cut out right? Quote
steven-g Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Sengna take a look at the attached, pick a point on the pipe and it will highlight the path for setting this out in 2D, the more points you have the better the results. There's got to be a better name than teardrop? Tear.dwg Quote
