4 - Existing Spring Design

Existing springs with predefined properties can be modeled but the design algorithm is not used. The spring rate and theoretical cold load per hanger are entered and multiplied by the number of hangers. For predefined spring hangers, the hot and cold loads are directly specified where the cold load is calculated as the hot load plus the absolute value of the spring rate times the upward travel which is considered positive.

Hangers

Existing Springs - No Design

1. Enter the Spring Rate and the Theoretical Cold Load (installation load, on a per hanger
basis) values.
2. Enter the number of Variable Support Hangers at the location.
The hanger design algorithm does not design hangers that are completely predefined. Other
data can exist for the spring location, but this data is not used. Entered spring rates and
theoretical cold loads are multiplied by the number of hangers at this location. CAESAR II
requires the Theoretical Cold (Installation) Load to pre-define the spring.

where upward travel is positive.

Predefined Spring Hanger


Hot Load = 2000 pounds
Cold Load = 2000 pounds +
abs(1.375*590) = 2811 pounds
