6. Which codes used make design of pressure vessel?

Various code reference which is used for design and construction of
pressure vessel are as below.
ASME sec viii div-1
IS 2825
BIS 5500
7. Why designing is required for pressure vessel?
The selection of the types of vessel based primarily upon the fictional
service of the vessel. The functional service requirements impose
certain operating conditions such as temperature, pressure, dimensional
limitation and various loads.
If the vessel is not designed properly the vessel may be fail in service.
The design of most structure is based on formulas. Formula may be used
form any relative code/standards so the value derived form that formula
is reliable.
8. Why necessary design of pressure vessel?
If vessel is not designed properly the vessel may be fail in service.
Failure may be occur in one or more manners such by the plastic
deformation resulting form excessive stress, or by elastic instability.
9. What parameter affect the failure of vessel?
Failure may also result form corrosion, wear or fatigue. Design of the
vessel to protect against such as failures involve the consideration of
these factors and the physical properties of the materials.
If the vessel is not properly designed then chances of failure is more
because we dont know what is the maximum operating pressure and
temperature. We dont know about maximum load, pressure or
temperature carrying capacities of the vessel.
10 . Stresses in pressure vessel
Pressure vessel are subjected to various loading which exert stresses
of different intensities in the vessel components.
