 CONCLUSION
 PRESSURE VESSEL

 A pressure vessel is defined as container

with internal pressure, higher than
atmospheric pressure.It has become an
essential part of the technology industry.
 They are used I several industries like:
1. Petroleum refining.
2. Food and Beverage.
3. Chemical.
4. Power

 TYPES OF PRESSURE VESSEL

 There are 3 types of pressure vessel in general.

1. Horizontal Pressure Vessels.
2. Vertical Pressure Vessels.
3. Spherical Pressure Vessels.

 However there are some special types of pressure vessel as well such as
Regeneration Tower, Reactor.

MAIN COMPONENTS OF PRESSURE
VESSEL
 Following are the main components of pressure Vessels in general:
1. Shell
2. Head
3. Nozzle
4. Support

3/10
 SHELL

 It is the primary component that contains the pressure.

 Pressure vessel shells in the form of different plates are welded together to form a structure
that has a common rotational axis.
 Shells are either cylindrical, spherical or conical in shape.
 Horizontal drums have cylindrical shells and are constructed in a wide range of diameter
and length.
 Shell of a spherical pressure vessel is spherical as well.

 HEAD

 All the pressure vessels must be closed at the ends by

heads (or another shell section).
 Heads are typically curved rather than flat.
 The reason is that curved configurations are stronger and
allow the heads to be thinner, lighter and less expensive
than flat heads.
 Heads can also be used inside a vessel and are known as
intermediate heads.
 These intermediate heads are separate sections of the
pressure vessels to permit different design conditions.

 NOZZLE

 A nozzle is a cylindrical component that penetrates into

the shell or head of pressure vessel.
 They are used for the following applications.
 Attach piping for flow into or out of the vessel.
 Attach instrument connection (level gauges,
Thermowells, pressure gauges).
 Provide access to the vessel interior at MANWAY.
 Provide for direct attachment of other equipment items
(e.g. heat exchangers).

5/10
 SUPPORT

 Support is used to bear all the load of pressure vessel, earthquake and wind
loads.
 There are different types of supports which are used depending upon the size
and orientation of the pressure vessel.
 It is considered to be the non-pressurized part of the vessel.

 ADVANTAGES OF ANALYSIS
THROUGH ANSYS
 provides different solution for same
design
 helps for better modification and
 helps for better use of the available
material. Whereas, in conventional
design, group of human being will
do and it will take long time.

8/10
 CONCLUSION

 It has been observed that the changes in end connections of pressure vessel the stress
concentration zone are changes for different end connections for the same pressure.
 The use of composite material gives the more advantages like reduces manufacturing
cost of pressure vessel.
