    The document discusses different types of loadings that are applicable to pressure vessel design. It identifies normal loads that apply for long durations, like internal pressure, and occasional loads that are short-term, like wind loads. It also categorizes loads as general loads that apply across vessel sections, like pressure and moment loads, and local loads that are reactions from supports and attached equipment, such as radial, shear, and torsional loads.

    Applicable Loadings

    Stresses are created due to Loadings or forces.

    Type of Loading

    1. Normal Loads:

    These loadings are applicable for long duration and continuous.


    a. Internal pressure
    b. External Pressure
    c. Fluid Inside equipment
    d. Internals
    e. Loading due to attached piping
    f. Loading due to attached supports.
    g. Thermal loads

    2. Occasional Loads:

    These loadings are applicable for short duration and variable.


    a. Wind load.
    b. Seismic load.
    c. Snow load.
    d. Shop hydro-test
    e. Field hydro-test.
    f. Erection
    g. Emergency
    h. Start-up & shut down

    Categories of Loading

    1. General Loads:
    These loads are applied continuous across a vessel section

    a) Pressure loads:
    • Internal pressure
    • External pressure

    In Design, Operating, Hydro test and hydrostatic head of liquid

    b) Moment loads:
    • Wind Load
    • Seismic Load
    • Erection
    • Transportation

    c) Compressive / tensile loads:


    • Dead weight
    • Installed equipment
    • Ladders, Platforms
    • Piping attachment
    • Vessel Contents

    2. Local Loads
    These loads are due to reactions from supports, internals, attached platform, attached piping, and
    attached equipment.

    a. Radial load – Inward or outward


    b. Shear load – Longitudinal or circumferential
    c. Torsional load
    d. Moment load - Longitudinal or circumferential
    e. Thermal load
