Hey, I have an idea:

Why don't a bunch of CR4 gurus get together and figure out how to do audio in these posts (I suppose U-tube might do....) Then beg/borrow/steal copies of NFPA-58 and read them aloud to whoever needs the detailed guidance therein.

Besides NFPA 58, you shall consider API 2510 & ASME Section VIII division 1 or 2.

What is the type of your vessel? Spherical? Horizontal vessel with ellipsoidal head or horizontal vessel with hemispherical head?

Thanks..

Ok, then use ASME VIII div 1 as your design guidance. You may also refer to Eugene's Pressure Vessel Handbook.. The book is great summary for designing pressure vessel of ASME VIII-1.

Have a nice design :)
