HUB for pressure vessels

From: Tim Hawley Master Mech.

Hub is defined as the outer end of the vessel. The weld and plate thickness is defined by the size of the vessel, and internal pressure defined by liquid or by gas internal pressure characteristics.

I don't know of the ASME standards, but the ANSI standards are listed below. You can go to the link to find other Global standards.

PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE USE OF FINAL PRODUCT APPLICATION, AND ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE WILL FOLLOW...

Thanks Tim,

But I don't think it is clear that definition: outer end of a vessel.

As an example, you have falnges with hub and without hub, and both have an outer end. Where have you taken that definition?
