    Pressure Vessel Design

    Uploaded by

    Neeraj Kumar
    This document discusses the design of pressure vessels (PVs). It defines a PV as a closed vessel over 150mm in diameter subject to a pressure difference of over 0.5 bar. PVs are classified as thin-walled, where the wall thickness to diameter ratio is less than 1:10, or thick-walled, where the ratio is 1:10 or greater. Thin-walled vessels are more common in chemical industries. The document outlines factors to consider in PV design like materials, design pressure, temperature, loads, thickness, and standards/codes for fabrication. Design equations are provided to calculate stresses in thin-walled cylindrical and spherical vessels.

    Pressure Vessel Design

    PVD
    Specialized subject
    Role of Mechanical & Chemical Engineer
    Current design codes, practices and methods
    of stress analysis
    Basic design information

    Definition of a Pressure Vessel (PV)
    Any closed vessel over 150 mm diameter
    subject to a pressure difference of more than
    0.5 bar
    Classification of PV
    Thin walled Ratio of wall thickness to vessel
    diameter is less than 1: 10
    Thick walled - Ratio of wall thickness to vessel
    diameter is equal to or more than 1: 10
    Principle stresses in PV wall
    Thin Walled Vessel
    Radial stress will be small and can be
    neglected in comparison with other stresses.
    Longitudinal and circumferential stress can be
    taken as constant over the wall thickness.
    Majority of vessels in Chemical and Allied
    Industries Thin walled

    Thick Walled Vessel
    Magnitude of the radial stress will be
    significant.
    Circumferential stress will vary across the wall.
    Thick walled vessels- high pressures
    Codes and Standards

    Basis of agreement between manufacturer
    and customer and customer's insurance

    Pressure Vessel Codes and Standards
    Design and fabrication of thin walled pressure vessel
    national standards and codes
    Standards and codes legally enforceable
    British standard PD 5500 covers vessels fabricated in
    carbon and alloy steels and aluminium
    BS 4994 covers design of vessels from reinforced
    plastics
    European standard EN 13445
    ASME code covers steels, non-ferrous metals and
    fibre-reinforced plastics
    General equation for flat plates
    General Design Considerations
    Design Pressure (DP)
    Vessel design - Maximum pressure
    Internal PV DP equals relief device set pressure
    5 to 10 % above the normal working pressure
    Hydrostatics pressure
    Vessels subject to external pressure should be
    designed to resist the maximum differential
    pressure that is likely to occur in service.

    Design Temperature
    SOM decreases with increasing temperature.
    Design stress and temperature

    Materials
    Plain carbon steels, low and high alloy steels,
    other alloys, clad plate & reinforced plastics.
    Material selection suitability for fabrication
    (welding), compatibility with process
    environment.


    Design Stress (Nominal Design Strength)
    Welded Joint
    The strength of a welded joint depends on the
    type of joint and the quality of the welding.
    It is known from the product of design stress
    and welded joint factor, J.
    Welded Joint Factor (J)
    Corrosion Allowance
    Additional thickness of metal added to allow
    for material lost by corrosion, erosion &
    scaling.
    Should be agreed between customer &
    manufacturer.
    Minimum allowance for carbon & low alloy
    steels 2 mm (mild conditions), 4 mm (severe
    conditions)
    Design Loads
    Major Loads
    Subsidiary Loads
    Major Loads
