Abstract
Pressure vessel is a device used to store liquid as well as air. Vertical vessels are massive
structures used in oil industries which store oil and different fluids. Due to the massiveness of the
structure and pedestal considerations, an octagonal foundation is designed in place of a simple
rectangular footing. The design includes analyzing of loads from superstructure, design of base
plate and foundation bolt, design of pedestal and footing. The design of pile is not considered in
the present study. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the manual method of design
procedure. The same footing is modeled in different commercial finite element software.
Performance of the designed foundation as obtained from the finite element analysis is then
compared with that obtained from manual calculations. Maximum moment obtained from the
software for the given support forces are found to be higher than those calculated manually

1. INTRODUCTION
Pressure vessels are the containers for fluids under high pressure. The pressure vessels (i.e. cylinders or
tanks) are used to store fluids under pressure. The fluid being stored may undergo a change of state inside
the pressure vessel as in case of steam boilers or it may combine with other reagents as in a chemicaplant.
The pressure vessels are designed with great care because rupture of a pressure vessel means an explosion
which may cause loss of life and property. Generally there are three main types of pressure vessel. These
are Horizontal, vertical and spherical pressure vessel. However there are some special type of vessels like
regeneration Tower, reactors, but these names are given according to their use only.
The material of pressure vessels may be brittle such as cast iron, or ductile such as mild steel. Pressure
vessel have wide applications in thermal and nuclear power plants, process chemical industries, in
pharmaceutical industries, and in food beverage industries. The failure of pressure vessel may result in
loss of life, health hazard and damage of property.
Pressure vessels often have a combination of high pressure together with high temperatures, and in some
case flammable fluids or highly radioactive materials. Because of such hazards it is imperative that the
design be such that no leakage can occur. With increasing demands from industrial process for high
operating pressures and higher temperature, new technologies have been developed to handle the present
day specialized requirements. The material of pressure vessel may be brittle such as cast iron, or ductile
such as mild steel. Various parameters of pressure vessel are designed and checked according to the
principles specified in American society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) sec VIII and according to
IBR.
The pressure inside our vertical pressure vessel is taken as 16 Mpa. The strength of the metal
decreases with increasing temperature so the maximum allowable design stress will depend on the
material temperature. The design temperature at which the design stress is evaluated should be
taken as the maximum working temperature of the material. The temperature inside our vertical
pressure vessel is taken as 380°C subjected to high temperature the design stress is based on the
yield stress (or proof stress), or the tensile strength (ultimate tensile stress) of the material at the
design temperature.
1.1. BACKGROUND OF PRESSURE VESSEL
2. Pressure vessels store energy and as such, have inherent safety risks. Many states began to
enact rule and regulations regarding the construction of steam boilers and pressure vessels
following several catastrophic accidents that occurred at the turn of the twentieth century that
resulted in large Loss of life. By 1911 it was apparent to manufacturers and users of boilers
and pressure vessels that the lack of uniformity in these regulations between states made it
difficult to construct vessels. Pressures, was published in 1914 and formally adopted in the
spring of 1915. The first Code rules for pressure vessels, entitled Rules for the Construction of
Unfired Pressure Vessels, followed in 1925. From this simple beginning the Code has now
evolved into the present eleven Section documents, with multiple subdivisions, parts,
subsections, and Mandatory and non mandatory almost all pressure vessels used in the
process industry are designed and constructed in their accordance.
I want to design vertical air type pressure vessel with lateral leg support which can control
or resist many problems such as failure, fracture and corrosion. Pressure Vessel failures
can be grouped into four major categories, which describe why a vessel failure occurs.
Failures can also be grouped into types of failures, which describe how the failure occurs.
Each failure has a why and how to its history.
It may have failed through corrosion fatigue because the wrong material was selected! The
designer must be as familiar with categories and types of failure as with categories and
types of stress and loadings. Ultimately they are all related During the design the following
problems are occurring.
Those problems are listed as: Improper selection of material; defects our material.
Incorrect design data affect our material in accurate or incorrect design methods,
Fabrication- Poor quality control; improper or insufficient fabrication procedures include
welding; heat treatment or forming methods.

2. LITIRATURE REVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of this literature review is to get information about the project from the
reference books and websites. In this chapter the discussion will be made base on all the
sources. Since pressure vessel have different type.
Vertical pressure vessel is type of pressure vessel. This forms the most typical application
of plane stress. Plane of stress is a class of common engineering problems involving stress
in a thin plate. It can also be called as simplified 2D problems. Vertical pressure vessels
have the advantage of requiring for a given pressure and diameter than the equivalent.
Therefore they are used for large gas or liquid containers, gas-cooled nuclear reactors,
containment buildings for nuclear plant, and so on. Pressure vessels are leak proof
containers designed to hold pressure substantially different from the atmospheric
pressure.
Pressure vessels and associated equipment’s are used in oil, space, chemical, nuclear
power and many other industries. Pressure vessels are classified into two based on their
shape i.e. cylindrical pressure vessel and spherical pressure vessel.
Advantage of spherical pressure vessel over cylindrical pressure vessel is that for a given
diameter and pressure, spherical pressure vessels require thin walls than cylindrical
pressure vessels. Still cylindrical pressure vessels are usually preferred for construction
over the spherical pressure vessels since the construction of spherical pressure vessels is
more complicated and expensive. In cylindrical pressure vessel, end caps are connected to
it called heads. Types of head in a cylindrical pressure vessel are dish end, hemispherical,
ellipsoidal, flat etc.
C. K. Ramesh [1] in his paper made an elastic analysis involving partial differential equation
of pressure vessel with different heads such as ellipsoidal, tori spherical and hemispherical
head for the classic theory of thin shells of revolution. He attempted a step-by-step
numerical integration procedure following Goldberg’s earlier works involving
segmentation technique. Numerical results are obtained from the general computer
program FORTRAN for number of cases and for given values of poisons ratio, elastic
moduli, and thickness to diameter ratio. The results obtained are then compared to the
values from literatures and also with the stress predicted by ASME code.
Darian Kozak [2] presented a numerical analysis of pressure vessel with different heads
such as pressure vessel with hemispherical head and pressure vessel with semi-elliptical
head. For a given material property and dimension, both pressure vessels are analysed
using finite element method and von Mises stresses are determined.
Based on the analytical solutions for membrane stress state of pressure vessel, numerical
analysis of the pressure vessels with different head is also performed. The result obtained
for hemispherical head is compared with that of the result obtained from finite element
analysis. After the analysis, it was conclude that the equivalent stresses in hemispherical
head is lesser than that in the semi-elliptical head. Nevertheless, in exploitation, there is
much more pressure vessels with semi-elliptical heads, because manufacturing of
hemispherical heads is much more complicated and expensive.
Apsara C. Gedam[3] analysed a thin pressure vessel with different heads such as
hemispherical, flat circular, standard ellipsoidal and dished end using finite element
analysis. Three cases were considered in the analysis. In first case, axisymmetric models of
pressure vessel with different heads were analyzed. In second case, finite element analysis
of horizontal pressure vessel with saddle supports were conducted and in third case, finite
element analysis of vertical pressure vessel with straight leg support were conducted.
Longitudinal and circumferential stresses in all the three cases were plotted and the
comparison of stresses was made for different heads of pressure vessel. Effect of supports
on pressure vessel was also studied by the authors.
Shildip D. Urade [4] made a stress analysis of multilayer pressure vessel which is made of
homogeneous and isotropic material and subjected to internal loading. The stress analysis
of the model was carried out in finite element tool, ANSYS. The number of layers are varied
for calculating the hoop stress for finite element and theoretical analysis. In multilayer
pressure vessel, the layers are brought in contact by applying shrink fit between the layers
of the pressure vessel. The analytical estimation of hoop stresses in pressure vessel
consisting n layers is carried out.
2.2 Gathering Information
I collected data to find the current design of various vertical pressure vessels available in the
market since it is going to give a lot of ideas. Therefore; I collected data from different sources.
Likes
Reference books.
Internet available.
From internet I use different website such us :
http://www.google
uc browser etc.
Head: vertical pressure vessel must be closed at the ends by heads. Heads that
usually used are typically in curved rather than flat.
Support: the vertical pressure vessel support is used to support the applied
and other loads. Several kinds of supports are there:
skirt
leg
saddle
This project is design of vertical pressure vessel is supported by saddle frame. It divides
the weight load over a large area of the shell to avoid an unnecessary stress in the shell at
two different locations.

According to different kind of standard such as ASMS the following given below are used
for the selection of materials
A) Strength
B) Corrosion resistance
C) Resistance to hydraulic attack
D) Fracture toughness
E) Fabricablity/predictability
A. Strength-it is the capability or property of material to with stand or sustained to
A. Strength-it is the capability or property of material to with stand or sustained to high load
under tension is called strength.
Strength of the material is based on the mechanical properties .it is used for the most easy,
strong &low cost of productions. Some of the mechanical properties are (toughness, ductility
yield strength, ultimate strength (UST) and creep strength and machinability).
Ductility – it is the property of material which enables to be drawn out or elongated to an
appreciable extent before repute under the load .
Yield strength – the stress level at which the plastic begin deformation .is a region where the
material changes from plastic to elastic deformation .the material we select for our pressure
vessel are shown below
Table 1: Material selection
Machinability
Property of material which enables to machined easily in the desired shape by cutting
tools.
It signifies how much force & power are required to remove stock from the material.
Ultimate tensile strength (UTS)-when basic strength of material reaches the maximum value .Its
measured by a standard tensile test.
Creep strength- is ability of the material which resist the slow and &continuous deformation
under steady load &some temperature.
B. Corrosion resistance
Corrosion: is gradual distraction of metals by the chemical or electrochemical reaction with the
environment.
it made the material dissolve, softening & wearing away.
our natural environment are caused for corrosion are : air ,salt & water
Example of corrosion
Rusting of iron when it exposed to atmospheric corrosion. So by use of the following corrosion
resistance method , we minimize the destruction done by corrosion
by using of cathodes protection
by using of protective coating or surface coating
galvanization
hot dipping
tinning
C. Resistance to hydraulic attack
The tensile strength (uts) & elastic modulus of metals decrease with increasing the
temperature.
Hydrogen attack cause irreversible damage through the component thickness &damage
carbon &low alloy steel.
So because of the above reason we have to take consideration on tensile strength, design stress
when we design something.
D. Fracture toughness
Ability of the material absorbs the energy or impact load without any fracture.
Table 2: Material selection
3.2WELDING TYPE
A welding joint is a permanent joint which is obtained by the fusion of the edges of the two parts
to be joined together with or without the application of pressure and a filler material. Welding is
extensively used in fabrication as an alternative method for casting or forging and as a
replacement for bolted and riveted joints. [2]
Advantage of welding joint
The welding structures are usually lighter than riveted structures.
The welding joints provide maximum efficiency (may be 100%).
Welding joint has prater strength.
The welding provides very rigid joints.
It is possible to weld any part of a structure at any point.
Welding processes
The welding processes may be broadly classified into the following two groups
1. Welding processes that use heat alone e.g. fusion welding
2. Welding processes that use a combination of heat and pressure
e.g. forge welding
Stress for welding joint
The stresses in welded joints are difficult to determine because of the variable and unpredictable
Parameters like homogeneity of the weld metal, thermal stresses in the welds, changes of
physical
Properties due to high rate of cooling etc. The stresses are obtained, on the following
assumptions:
The load is distributed uniformly along the entire length of the weld, and
The stress is spread uniformly over its effective section
The Code-regulations are tabulated on the following pages under the titles:-
A. types of welded joints :( There is Joints permitted by the code, their efficiency and
limitations of their applications.)
B. design of welded joints: Types of joints to be used for vessels in various services and under
certain design conditions.
C. joint efficiencies and stress reductions: Efficiencies of joints at certain locations and
reduced allowable stress to be used in calculations of vessel components. The data of the table
are based on the following Code regulations: Full, spot, partial radiographic examination or no
radiography of A, B, and C joints.
For longitudinal stress calculation the efficiency of partially radio graphed joints is the same as
for spot radio graphed joints.
Seamless vessel sections and heads with Category B,C or D butt joints that are spot radio
graphed shall be designed for circumferential stress using a stress value equal to 85% of the
allowable stress value of the material, When the joints are not radio graphed and for joint
efficiency, E the value in column of table “Types of welded joints” are used, in all other design
calculation, a stress value equal to 80% of the allowable stress value of material shall be used
except for unstayed flat heads, etc.
Design of the thickness of the cylinder shell and some part of of vertical pressure
vessel .
There for the ratio of L/D= 5 and L=5D because the deign pressure greater than
3.448Mpa We know that the volume of a pressure vessel is 0.25m3 and the volume is equal to
the sum of the volume of the head/bottom(hemispherical) and the volume vessel shell (which is
in cylindrical in shape) According to process equipment design, brown ell and young suggest
that the ratio of L/D can be determined by according to their presser value. But mostly it is
recommended to take L/D ratio 5:1. The pressure that was given for my 1operating pressure is
16MPa.
OPERATING PRESSURE is a pressure which required for the process, served by the
vessel.
DESIGN PRESSURE is the pressure used in the design of a vessel. It recommended to design a
vessel and its parts for higher pressure than the operating pressure.

3.2.2Design temperature
The strength of metals decreases with increasing temperature, so the maximum allowable design
stress will depend on the material temperature. The design temperature at which the design stress
is evaluated should be taken as the maximum working temperature of the material, with due
allowance for any uncertainty involved in predicting vessel wall temperatures.
[5]
Then the given operation temperature for this project is:
TO=380OC
From typical design stress table find the stress for stainless steel:-
Design stress: (δ d ¿ =74Mpa
Tensile strength: (δ ¿¿ s)=¿ ¿360Mpa

The metal used as reinforcement must be located within the limits.
The limit measured parallel to the vessel wall (L) is equal to d or Rn +t n+t; use the largest
value.
L = 2000mm or L = 102.33mm+24mm+55mm
L = 181.33mm
The value of this limit is equald i = L = 2000mm
The limit measured perpendicular to the manhole wall in outward (h) is equal to
2.5t n or 2.5t, use the smaller value
h = 2.5 × 0.024m = 0.06m (OR) h = 2.5 × 0.055m = 0.0875m
The value of this limit is equal to 0.06m
The limit measured perpendicular to the inward (h1) is equal to 2.5t or (2.5
t n - 2(CA)), use the smallest value
h1 = 2.5×0.055m = 0.1375m (OR) h1 = (2.5×0.024m) – (2×0.002) = 0.171m
The value of h1=0.044m

D P = (2 × L) – (2 × LW) = (2 × 2m) – (2 × 0.0385m)

Since the material we select for both manhole and shell is the same the ratio is equal to 1. The
material we select for both is carbon steel (AISI-321) stable.
Areas in the reinforcement of manhole design.
For vessel under internal pressure the total cross sectional area required for the reinforcement is
A= (d i× t r× F) + (2 × t n× t r × F × (1-fr1))
= (0.156.66 × 0.053 × 0.5) + (2 × 0.024× 0.002 × 0.5 × (1 –1)) m2
= 0.0041515m2

Area of excess thickness in manhole (A2)
A2 = 2×h × (t n-t rn) × fr1

= 0.00024m2
Area of inside extension of manhole square (A3)
A3 = 2 × h1 × (t n- 0.2 × CA) × fr1

= 0.002832 m2
Area of weld (A4)
A4 = (A41 + A3) × fr1 + A42 × f r 4
A42 = (0.7 × t) 2 = (0.7 × 0.055)2= 0.00148225m2
A41 = t n × t n = 0.024m × 0.024 = 0.000576m2
A43 = has no minimum area
A4 = (0.000576 + 0.002832) × 1 + 0.00148225× 1m2
= 0.00489025m2
A5 = ( D p–d-2×t n) ×t p f r 4
= (3.924 – 0.4- 2 × 0.024) × 0.426× 1 m2 =1.480776m2
The sum of the area is:
A1+A2+A3+A4 = 0.1026+0.00024+0.002832+0.00489025= 0.11056225m2
Since the sum of the areas available for reinforcement (A 1+A2+A3 +A4) is less than the area to be
replaced (A), the opening is adequately reinforced. Therefore the difference must be supplied by
reinforcing pad A5.
A = A5-the sum of the area

3.2.6Design of bolt
Bolt is used to join the part of instrument with a vessels part by using connecting methods Load
on bolt. The load that applied on bolt is subjected to the stress due to the stress due to the torque
transmitted and depends on the number of bolts and to tall load on the all bolts. Load on each
bolt is given by:-
The total load on all bolts:
π d2
F= 4 ∗σb∗n
And I take external diameter of the bolt 70mm. But internal diameter becomes 35mm.
Now since the load on all bolt is not equal to the normal load on the bolt;
Since the value of give nominal size is not there directly from the table, I take the ratio between
two points

The flange must be sized so that the stresses given by equations satisfy
the following criteria: when ffo=102.04MPa(14.8KPSi) is the maximum
allowable design stress for the flange material at the operating conditions.

σ hb > 1.5ffo
σ rd > ffo
m= [(π*(0.255)2*(2.055)-(π*(0.2)2*2)]*ρ steel
= [0.0707]*7870Kg
m = 1325.2Kg
mf = V*ρ LPG
Density of air=1.18kg/m3
Volume=0.25m3
mf =V*ρ LPG
=0.25*407.05
=101.76kg
mt =m + mf
=1325.2 Kg+ 101.76Kg.
=1426.96 Kg
mover all = m total +0.15* m total
mover all=1539.244kg.
First to calculate the load in the leg the mass of the over load of the pressure vessel and its
components have to Calculated. Mass of the pressure vessel; Density of the steel alloy is ρ =
7850 Kg/m3
m = ΔV*ρ
m= [(π r1²× ) - (πr²×L)]×ρ
m= [(π (0.255m)2×2.055m)-( π(0.2m)²×2m)]×7870Kg/m³
m = 1325.2kg Where
( = r +the actual thickness &
L1 = L + the actual thickness)
ρ= is density of steel alloys
Then we will calculate the mass of the fluid Mf which is possessed in the pressure vessel
Where; V=volume of tanker, ρair=density of air
mf=0.25*1.18kg/m3
= 0.295kg
Total mass of the tanker = mass of fluid +mass of the pressure vessel
= 0.295kg+1325.2kg = 1325.495 kg
But the overall mass include the relief valve and other components of the pressure vessel so add
15% of additional mass to the total mass
mt =1325.495+ 0.15*1325.495
= 1524.3kg
Finally calculate the weight of the leg
W = mt*g
W = 1524.3*9.81
W=14953.57 N
Wind load
Since the direction of wind force is unknown; wind can come from any direction. Therefore in
this paper the arbitrary direction of wind is considered & the vertical or flat vessel is selected
wind loads the effect is nearly negligible.

4.5.1. Improvement
When I relate to my project with the former one is from Aluminum/steel and it has the following
properties.
Its strength is not that match.
It is Expensive.
It is affected by corrosion.
But now in my project I improve these properties
Strength and hardness increase.
It can elongate beyond the yield point since it is from different alloy steel.
Its Costs are fair.
CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION
Vessel design is a specialized subject,and will be carried out by Mechanical Engineers who are
conversant with the current design codes and practice , and methods of stress analysis. The word
"DESIGN" does not mean only the calculation of the detailed dimensions of a member, but
rather is an all-inclusive term, incorporating
The project design is considering all criteria for a good quality and life time of the pressure
vessel. For this reasons the design done by considering the following and have long life and our
design are safe. This are:
Thickness of vessel column
material selection,
Internal pressure
Support skirt etc…
Therefore if we concerning the above information our design is safe.
RECOMONDATION
Based on personal experience on this work, the following recommendations were made;
the system can be equipped with a rubber in the linkages; so that as soon to reduce the vibrations
experienced during carrying, the system can be equipped with a harmonic filter to enhance the
efficient functioning of the remote control without experiencing retriggering actions. the design
is equipped with pressure vessel components. Process equipment is fabricated by a number of
well-established methods such as fusion welding, casting, forging, machining, brazing and
soldering and sheet metal forming.
