In addition to the calculations of wall thicknesses for :

Pipe and Shell & Formed Heads, the following site includes the Nozzle Reinforcement & Compensation Calculation.

I'd like you to know that studying of pressure vessels shall take a lot of months.

1st Step Design Calculations of Shell Thickness.

Try to recognize about spherical, cylindrical and conical shells, what the design equations used. Try to calculate using the available date send to you.

Just understanding 1st step, I Will tell you the 2nd step.

faizol:

You may also want to have a look at the ASME BPVC (Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code) Standards, Section VIII. This covers all design criteria for boiler and nuclear grade pressure vessels.

A good reference is PRESSURE VESSEL HANDBOOK, by Eugene F. Megyesy, published by Pressure Vessel Publishing, Inc. P.O. Box 35365 Tulsa, Oklahoma 74153 USA.

There is also computer software that will guide you through the design process. It is called Compress provided by Codeware Inc., 3100 S. Gessner Rd., Suite 610 Houston, TX 77063. The codeware web site is:

For a professional approach to the Pressure Vessel design, you have to study pressure vessel design books, code requirements, and then you can use the software 'PVElite' to design. At the same time you need to feed data in it appropiately.
