1.1 Design Criteria:

The code design criteria consist of basic rules specifying the design method, design load, allowable
stress, acceptable material, and fabrication – inspection certification requirements for LPG vessel
construction. The design method known as “Design by Rule” uses design pressure, allowable stress,
and a design formula compatible with the geometry of the part to calculate the minimum required
thickness of the LPG vessel items. This procedure minimizes the amount of analysis required to ensure
that the vessel will not rupture or undergo an excessive distortion. The quantities or dimensions that are
to be determined for designing are listed below
a. Thickness of shell (according to UG -27(c)).
b. Thickness of 2:1 semi ellipsoidal head (according to UG-32(d)).
c. Openings in the pressure vessel as per requirement (according to UG-36 (b) (1) (2)).
d. Selection of flanges (according to UG-44 & UG-11 (a) (2)).
e. Thickness of skirt or design of supports.(according to UG-54 & appendix G).

1.2 Design Constraints:

General Assumptions:
1. Design by rule, ASME Code Section VIII-1, 210.
2. Cylindrical horizontal orientated.
