5 THE DESIGN OF THIN-WALLED VESSELS UNDER INTERNAL

PRESSURE.

Cylindrical Section :

PiDi
t
2SE 1.2 Pi

Where : Pi = (1.1-1)(1.1) 0.11 bar = 0.011 N/mm2 0.02 N/mm2

Di = 1.6288 103 mm

S = 126.782 N/mm2

E = 0.85

(0.02 N / mm 2 )(1.6288 10 3 mm)

t
2(126.782 N / mm 2 )(0.85) 1.2(0.02 N / mm 2 )

= 0.15 mm 1.0 mm

Add corrosion allowance 1.0 mm + 2 = 3.0 mm

Domed Head :

i. Try a standard hemispherical head :

PiDi (0.02 N / mm 2 )(1.6288 10 3 mm)

t
4SE 0.4 Pi 4(126.782 N / mm 2 )(0.85) 0.4(0.02 N / mm 2 )

= 0.075 mm 0.1 mm

Add corrosion allowance 0.1 mm + 2 = 2.1 mm

ii. Try a standard ellipsoidal head :

PiDi (0.02 N / mm 2 )(1.6288 10 3 mm)

t
2SE 0.2 Pi 2(126.782 N / mm 2 )(0.85) 0.2(0.02 N / mm 2 )

= 0.15 mm 1.0 mm

Add corrosion allowance 1.0 mm + 2 = 3.0 mm

iii. Try a standard dished head (torisphere) :

0.885PiRc 0.0885(0.02 N / mm 2 )(1.6288 10 3 mm)

t
SE 0.1Pi (126.782 N / mm 2 )(0.85) 0.1(0.02 N / mm 2 )

Where crown radius, Rc = Di = 1.6288 103 mm

= 0.26 mm 1.0 mm

Add corrosion allowance 1.0 mm + 2 = 3.0 mm

So an ellipsoidal head and dished head would probably be the most economical. Take
as same thickness as wall, 3.0 mm.
