SHELL DESIGN
Shell thickness:
For a cylindrical shell, the minimum thickness required to resist internal pressure
can be determined from the equation below based on the maximum allowable
stress and corrected for welded joint efficiency:

Vol. 6, 4th Ed)

Where:
f = design stress
e = minimum thickness required
J = joint factor, range from 0.7 − 1.0
For the shell head design, a torispherical head is selected. According to IS: 4503,
the minimum thickness of the shell cover should be at least equal to the thickness
of the shell.
