An Introduction to Pressure Vessels
Definition:A pressure vessel is a closed container designed to hold
gases/liquids at a pressure other than atmospheric pressure.
Pressure vessels used in: Petroleum refining plant
Chemical plant
Power plant
Food Industries
Pharmaceuticals Industries
Classification of Pressure vessels
Based on Geometry:
Spherical (Most Economical due to lower thickness),
Rectangular (Most Costly due to higher thickness),
Cylindrical (Easy Manufacturing).
Based on Installation: Horizontal, Vertical, Inclined.
Based on Pressure: Internal, External, Both (Jacketed vessels)
Based on Wall thickness: Thin wall(R/t >=10), Thick wall (R/t <10)
Based on Method of Manufacturing:
Welded:It is a fabrication process that joins metalsby producing arc between base
metal and electroderesulting hightemperature (melting point)causing base
metalto join by fusion.
Forged:Forging is a manufacturing process in which metal is heated to plastic limit
and reshaped using external load.This method is used generally for High pressure
vessels where shell/Head/SRN nozzles with flange etc. are made by forging to avoid
welding.
Brazed:Brazing is a manufacturing process in which low melting point filler metal
used to join base metals, which do not melt the base metal. Metal-joining
techniques such soldering (Exp. Plate Heat Exchangers).
Based on Material:
Ferrous i.e. Carbon Steel, Low Alloy Steel, Stainless steel, Duplex SS
Non Ferrous i.e. Copper Alloys (Monel), Nickel alloys (Hastalloy).
Non Metallic i.e. Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP)
Based on Usage: Static, Mobile
Tall Tower/Column
Vertical vessel with Height (TL
to TL) / Diameter ratio > 5is
considered as Column.
Loading Condition:
Erection:un-corroded, erected
on foundation, without
insulation, platforms, trays
etc. Only welded
attachments & full wind on
column.
Operating: corroded, under
design pressure, including
welded items, trays, insulated
including all attachments shall
be considered.
Test: Column (corroded) under
test pressure, filled with water
plus 33% of specified wind load
on un-insulated column
including all attachments shall
be considered.
(iv) Earth quake And Wind
Shall Be Considered Not Acting
Concurrently.
Deflection of Column
Maximum allowable deflection
at top of column shall be equal
to column height / 200.
Dynamic Analysis of
Columncarried out for
transverse wind induced
vibrations.
Reactor:Process fluid
undergoes a chemical
reaction.
Reaction rate is
increased by catalyst.
Packed bed reactors are
most commonly
used.Cylindrical vessel
packed with catalyst.
Support grid and screen
is placed at the bottom to
support the catalyst.
SPHERICAL VESSEL:
The spherical shape has
the Highest
Volume/Surface area
and less metal is needed
to make the vessel. So,
it’s a most economical
shape.
The spherical shape is the
strongest shapeagainst
internal/external pressure
Mostly used for high
pressure storage
applications.
t = P*ri/Sh where, P = ρgh
t = P*ri/Sh = ρ*9.806*(h-0.3)*D/2*Sh
For Atm Pressure only. For Low pr.refer
Appendix F.
Storage Tank:
As per The American
Petroleum Institute(API
650), Design
Pressure ATM to 3.5
kN/m2.
Shell thickness
calculation shall be carried
out by1-foot method for
tank diameters less than
and equal to 60m (200
feet).
Vessel with Jacket:
Conventional Jackets:
Best forsmall volume
vessels (up to 300
gallons),Steam/Gas
heating and high-
internal pressure
applications where internal
pressure is double than
jacket pressure.
If ratio less than two
external jacket pressure
governs which may cause
increase in inner vessel
thickness.
Half pipe: Half pipe are
recommended for high-
Pressure (up to 750 psig)
&High temperature. It is
mainly used forliquid
heat-transfer application.
Dimple jacketed: Most
Economical due to pitched
ligament joints. Used up to
300 psig.
Component of Pressure Vessel
Shell, Head, Nozzles, Flanges, Supports, Platform/Ladder.
An introduction to pressure vessels
Hoop or circumferential Stress:
Pr. Force = pr. x Projected Area
= Pr*d*L
Material Resisting Force = Sh*2*L*t
(At equilibrium both equal)
Pr*d*L = Sh*2*L*t
Sh = Pr . d / 2*t or t = Pr.*R/Sh
Longitudinal Stress:Pr. Force = pr. x
Projected Area = Pr* pi*d2 /4
Material Resisting Force
=SL*pi*d*t(At equilibrium both
Equal)pr* pi*d2/4
= SL*pi*d*tSl=Pr*d/4*t or t

ASME Code, Section VIII, Division 1 use the maximum principal stress
theory as a basis for design. This theory simply considers that yielding
occurs when the largest principal stress equals the yield strength.
Minimum Thickness of Pressure Components is 1.5mmexclusive of
any corrosion allowance.
Design Formulas:

An introduction to pressure vessels

  • 1. An Introduction to Pressure Vessels Definition:A pressure vessel is a closed container designed to hold gases/liquids at a pressure other than atmospheric pressure.
  • 2. Pressure vessels used in: Petroleum refining plant Chemical plant Power plant Food Industries Pharmaceuticals Industries Classification of Pressure vessels Based on Geometry: Spherical (Most Economical due to lower thickness), Rectangular (Most Costly due to higher thickness), Cylindrical (Easy Manufacturing). Based on Installation: Horizontal, Vertical, Inclined. Based on Pressure: Internal, External, Both (Jacketed vessels) Based on Wall thickness: Thin wall(R/t >=10), Thick wall (R/t <10)
  • 3. Based on Method of Manufacturing: Welded:It is a fabrication process that joins metalsby producing arc between base metal and electroderesulting hightemperature (melting point)causing base metalto join by fusion. Forged:Forging is a manufacturing process in which metal is heated to plastic limit and reshaped using external load.This method is used generally for High pressure vessels where shell/Head/SRN nozzles with flange etc. are made by forging to avoid welding. Brazed:Brazing is a manufacturing process in which low melting point filler metal used to join base metals, which do not melt the base metal. Metal-joining techniques such soldering (Exp. Plate Heat Exchangers). Based on Material: Ferrous i.e. Carbon Steel, Low Alloy Steel, Stainless steel, Duplex SS Non Ferrous i.e. Copper Alloys (Monel), Nickel alloys (Hastalloy). Non Metallic i.e. Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) Based on Usage: Static, Mobile
  • 4. Tall Tower/Column Vertical vessel with Height (TL to TL) / Diameter ratio > 5is considered as Column. Loading Condition: Erection:un-corroded, erected on foundation, without insulation, platforms, trays etc. Only welded attachments & full wind on column. Operating: corroded, under design pressure, including welded items, trays, insulated including all attachments shall be considered.
  • 5. Test: Column (corroded) under test pressure, filled with water plus 33% of specified wind load on un-insulated column including all attachments shall be considered. (iv) Earth quake And Wind Shall Be Considered Not Acting Concurrently. Deflection of Column Maximum allowable deflection at top of column shall be equal to column height / 200. Dynamic Analysis of Columncarried out for transverse wind induced vibrations.
  • 6. Reactor:Process fluid undergoes a chemical reaction. Reaction rate is increased by catalyst. Packed bed reactors are most commonly used.Cylindrical vessel packed with catalyst. Support grid and screen is placed at the bottom to support the catalyst.
  • 7. SPHERICAL VESSEL: The spherical shape has the Highest Volume/Surface area and less metal is needed to make the vessel. So, it’s a most economical shape. The spherical shape is the strongest shapeagainst internal/external pressure Mostly used for high pressure storage applications.
  • 8. t = P*ri/Sh where, P = ρgh t = P*ri/Sh = ρ*9.806*(h-0.3)*D/2*Sh For Atm Pressure only. For Low pr.refer Appendix F. Storage Tank: As per The American Petroleum Institute(API 650), Design Pressure ATM to 3.5 kN/m2. Shell thickness calculation shall be carried out by1-foot method for tank diameters less than and equal to 60m (200 feet).
  • 9. Vessel with Jacket: Conventional Jackets: Best forsmall volume vessels (up to 300 gallons),Steam/Gas heating and high- internal pressure applications where internal pressure is double than jacket pressure. If ratio less than two external jacket pressure governs which may cause increase in inner vessel thickness.
  • 10. Half pipe: Half pipe are recommended for high- Pressure (up to 750 psig) &High temperature. It is mainly used forliquid heat-transfer application. Dimple jacketed: Most Economical due to pitched ligament joints. Used up to 300 psig.
