Summary:: Hello i have a question regarding pressure vessel design.
As per the required operating parameters for a pressure vessel, i have calculated the sheet thickness for the shell to be 4 mm and base plate thickness to be 25mm. These results are based on ASME calculations and ansys.Both ways results are same.
However if you support the base plate from the bottom by means of civil embedment,the requirement of thickness for base plate goes down to 4mm.These results are based on Ansys only.
The question is that if i support the pressure vessel from the bottom by means of civil embedment and use 4mm thickness for base plate,can i quote that my pressure vessel is ASME compliant??
