Where to start Pressure Vessel Design

Hi all,
I am new to this field, so i would like to know what would be a best way to start learning about pressure vessels design etc.. Are there any tutorials , exercises etc ? please help me.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated

Thanks

Sri,

What kind of help do you need with pressure vessels? My company manufactures a variety of pressure vessels and possibly could be of help. Here is our website: [URL="http://www.fibatech.com"]http://www.fibatech.com[/URL].

Dear Srikanth

Appart from code and standards,You will need to read some stuff on Pressure Vessel designing.
The famous software PVlite also contains very helpful material in this regard.

Thank you very much

Dear Abdel Halim Galala,

Thank you very much

I visit from Vietnam country, where don't have any instruction document for this field,

So, I will very grateful if you let me have more your guide and teach me become a design engineer.

Thank you in advance,
Minh Tan

dear friend..

based my knowledge... PV Handbook by Eugene is good to learn Pressure Vessel.

if you want to learn you can find this book in many sites for free.

also you can use PV Elite for your learning..

Hi everyone,
Does any have PV Handbook by Eugene [B][U]14th[/U][/B] edtion?

I also need the 14th Edition. Please share...

Thank you.

I have to a lifting lug design a vertical vessel in PVElite. The Orientation of lifting lug is Flat. To design the lifting lug I require Additional Normal / tangential load. Can anybody tell me where will I get this load.

Rajendra,

Don't claim that you know how to use the PV Elite and don't attempt to design this type of lifting lug if you don't understands. never expect also the way you're addressing that expert will give the exact detail wherein you don't know how to use the software. your company pays you to do the jobs but you're not competent to do this. i advise you to do some research works so that you'll understand what you're doing.

My advice is to study as many PV design books as possible, then to become familiar with the governing code (ASME Section VIII, API 650...ect), and finally an experienced mentor to work under is invaluable. There are a lot of variables and the design will dictate construction and if miscalculated serious injury or death can occur: the vessel can fall over if the legs are miscalculated, it can rupture and release deadly chemicals or explode if pressure is to high or material to thin or if the manufacturing was poor, there are many ways a failure can occur that is part of the reason why a 3.5-4 safety factor is in place to act as a safe guard. It is imperative that you have a good understanding of material science and engineering (mechanical preferably) before attempting to jump right in to pressure vessels. It will take years to learn a large code like Section VIII, and it will be very difficult to try and do so alone. Some areas have ASME PV classes, once you have studied quite a bit this class or some similar class would be helpful. Once you are knowledgeable and can make calculations by hand a PV design software is a nice tool, but should be just that a tool. Never rely solely on the software, an understanding of the principles at work and expected results are needed to safely run the software. One should always check the software against your hand calcs to ensure the software is working properly, and knowing how to use the software is paramount as well. Once you learn to use software the design time will be cut drastically and it is a great tool.
Good luck.
