RE: Local Loads on Inside of a Dish

why check it all? 1st. its not a pressure component. function is to filter to prevent blokage of dish head nozzle.
2nd. chances are the weld joint will almost always be fillet all around (intentionally).
3rd. supported by a rod in several location which is design to collapse or buckle in order not to transfer the load to the dish head. 4th. failure in most of the strainer that i have seen welded inside the repssure vessel, evaporators (function is actually similar to wear plate but design is similar to a strainer) or columns is metal loss (wear) or sheared weld joint which in turn resulted to damage to the head (pitting).

Friends,
I hope you can help me out with this one... I have a strainer plate inside a pressure vessel which is supported in 8 - 10 different places
from bottom by pipes / rods on the inside of an ellitical dish. I need to check the local load due to forces on the strainer plate on the dish.
Could you suggest what analysis I could follow ? I think WRC 107 could be be followed but I am not so sure about the graphs which I could use.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
