Designing pressure vessel

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on designing a horizontal pressure vessel with twin saddles that are not symmetrical, specifically using the PD 5500 code. The participant notes that Annex G of the PD 5500 code provides guidance for symmetric vessels but lacks direction for asymmetric designs. The mention of ANSI B31.1 indicates a potential reference for piping design considerations related to the pressure vessel. Participants are encouraged to share insights or alternative approaches for this specific design challenge.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of PD 5500 code for pressure vessel design
  • Familiarity with Annex G of PD 5500
  • Knowledge of twin saddle support systems
  • Basic principles of pressure vessel engineering
NEXT STEPS
  • Research alternative design methodologies for asymmetric pressure vessels
  • Explore the implications of ANSI B31.1 on pressure vessel design
  • Study case studies of non-symmetric pressure vessel designs
  • Investigate software tools for pressure vessel analysis and design
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, pressure vessel designers, and professionals involved in compliance with PD 5500 and ANSI B31.1 standards.

Hi

I was wondering how to design the horizontal pressure vessel on twin saddle that is not a symmetric shape using PD 5500 code.

For example, Annex G of the code shows how to design with twin saddle, but it is only approach with the symmetric pressure vessel.

Anyone has an idea or any approach on this ?

Thanks.
