DESIGN PROCEDURE

General design procedure

Designing pressure vessel consist different procedures that must be followed by
the designer to design a pressure vessel with required standard and qualities.
Here there are basic procedures to design pressure vessel.

 Design specifications include the given specifications

 Select the proper material based on our specification and design

depending up on ASME code.

 check the material and dimensional analysis for each and every part. based
on the standards.

 Design for internal and external applications of lead on the pressure

vessels.

 Analyze, evaluate and check for circumferential, longitudinal and allowable

stresses which developed on the pressure vessels.

 Finally, we have to Make sure that our pressure vessel is designed based
on the given criterions and calculation standards .

Specific design procedure

Designing producer of shell
We follow the following steps to design shell
 Finding the diameter
 Finding the length
  Finding the internal diameter
 Finding designing pressure and hydrostatic pressure
 Selecting the appropriate material vi. Check circumferential criteria
 Selecting welding option
 Finding thickness of shell
 Checking for hoop or circumferential stress
 Checking for longitudinal stress
 Check for the effect of external pressure effect when the vessel is
empty
 Checking thermal stress when the vessel is full
 Checking thermal stress when the vessel is partial full
 Calculate the weight of shell
 Calculating the outside diameter of pressure vessel shell

Design producer of head

For the design of head, we follow these steps
 Finding the thickness of head
 Checking the hoop or circumferential stress.
 Checking the longitudinal stress.
 Check for external pressure
 Calculate the weight of head
 Calculate the outside diameter of head of pressure vessel

Design producer of nozzle

For the design of nozzle we follow these steps

 Decide the diameter of the nozzle

 Finding the thickness
 Assume the reinforcement thickness
 Check the configuration of reinforcement
 Check the hoop stress
 Check longitudinal stress
 Check the maximum torque
  Calculate the weight of the nozzle
Design producer of support
