The document discusses the design of pressure vessels. It covers the important design phase carried out using codes to ensure safety. Pressure vessels work under internal or external pressure at various temperatures. Common materials used are carbon steel, stainless steel, and titanium. The main components of a pressure vessel are the shell, dished ends, nozzles, manways, and lugs. The document focuses on the design of the shell, dished ends, and nozzles. It provides equations and diagrams to illustrate how their minimum thicknesses are calculated based on factors like internal pressure, radius, and stress values. Various types of dished ends and nozzle constructions are also described.
