PVP-57: Pressure Vessel Design

Design and Analysis of Pressure Vessel Subjected to Pressure-temperature Variation (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Pressure vessel is a container used to store fluids under pressure and temperature. The fluids can be air, water, chemicals, fuel, gases etc. are most commonly used in food and chemical industries, oil refineries and so on. Pressure vessel is subjected to thermal and structural loads for power plant applications. Since the pressure vessel are subjected to both structural and thermal loads stres...

Design of Saddle Support for Horizontal Pressure Vessel

This paper presents the design analysis of saddle support of a horizontal pressure vessel. Since saddle have the vital role to support the pressure vessel and to maintain its stability, it should be designed in such a way that it can afford the vessel load and internal pressure of the vessel due to liquid contained in the vessel. A model of horizontal pressure vessel and saddle support is creat...

"fracture toughnes approach to pressure vessel design" and construction

generaly pressure vessels should withstand internal and external pressures in the form of static or periodic stresses. if the application of such a vessel requires the lowest possible weight, the fracture mechanics approach may be considened in design procedure in order to obtain the minimum wall thickness. in this work the thickness of the vessel wall was determined using k values and smallest...

Burst Pressure Prediction of Pressure Vessel using FEA

The main objective of this paper is to propose various types of Finite Element Methods used for the calculation of burst strength of pressure vessel. The pressure at which the pressure vessel should burst if all of the specified design tolerances are at their minimum values is called burst pressure. Prediction of burst strength is the very important aspect in the pressure vessel design. The pre...
