vacuum vessel / distiller correct wall thickness??
Hello!
I have a vacuum vessel / distiller type of vessel with following:- Temperature inside the vessel max. 200°C [Celcius] and a Vacuum at max. -80kPa = -0.8bar Material: SS-304 = Stainless Steel Volume = 0.654m³ My main question: Will a 4.5mm wall thickness (SS-304) be sufficient enough? If yes we will use as "dish ends" 2:1 Semi-ellipsoidal at 6mm THK (Thick) to compensate on the shrinkage on the dish end bend, which is about 18-20%. OR I have formuals for pressure vessels / dish ends only - could I use them as well and use 1 bar pressure - to be safe. Best regards and thank you all already for your suggestions - formulas & help given. Pantera |
