A pressure vessel is a closed container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the gauge pressure. Pressure Vessels are defined in ASME Section VIII, Div 1 introduction: “ Pressure Vessels are containers for the containment of pressure either external or internal. The pressure may be obtained from an external source, or by the application of heat from a direct or indirect source, or any combination thereof.” DEFINITION

The five principle methods of NDT used are: Visual testing (VT) Penetrant testing (PT) Magnetic particle testing (MT) Ultrasonic testing (UT) Radiographic testing (RT) NDE ON PRESSURE VESSELS
There are many different methods for pressure and leak testing in the field. Seven of these are: Hydrostatic testing Pneumatic or gaseous-fluid testing Combined pneumatic and hydrostatic testing Initial service testing Vacuum testing Static head testing Halogen and helium leak detection test TEST PRESSURE OR LEAK TEST
DESIGN OF PRESSURE VESSELS:- Pressure Vessel is contain following main equipment. SHELL DISHED END [ D’END] NOZZLES MANWAYS LUGS SUPPORTS
The thickness of shell is depending upon the type of shell and stresses. Generally Shell can be classified in 2 categories. Cylindrical Shell Spherical Shell Stress can also classified in 2 categories. Circumferential Stress Longitudinal Stress Thickness for Cylindrical Shell :- Circumferential Stress t = PR +C.A. OR P = SEt + C.A. SE - 0.6P R + 0.6t Longitudinal Stress : - t = PR +C.A. OR P = 2SEt + C.A. 2SE + 0.4P R - 0.4t
Thickness for Spherical Shell :- t = PR +C.A. OR P = 2SEt + C.A. 2SE - 0.2P R + 0.2t Here, P = Internal Design Pressure t = Minimum Required thickness of Shell in inches. R = Inside radius of Shell S = Maximum Allowable Stress value in Psi E = Joint Efficiency There are many Types of Dished-End like :- Hemispherical head Elliptical Head Torispherical Head Conical Head Toriconical Head
For spherical shells / head : t = P x R / (2SE - 0.2P) ….for Thickness P = 2SEt / (R + 0.2t)….for MAWP For Ellipsoidal Heads : ( 2 : 1 type) t = P x D / (2SE - 0.2P) ….for Thickness P = 2SEt / (D + 0.2t) ….for MAWP For Torisph. Heads : ( L = Crown Rad., r = 0.06 x L ) t, = 0.885 x P x L / (SE - 0.1P)… for Thickness P = SEt / ( 0.885L + 0.1 t ) … for MAWP
T = P D + C.A. 2Cos ά (SE - 0.6P) Conical Head T = PDi + C.A. 2Cos (SE - 0.6P) Here, Di = L X 2Cos Toriconical Head

GENERAL NOTE: This figure illustrates a common nozzle configuration and is not intended to prohibit other configurations permitted by the Code. NOTES: (1) Includes consideration of these areas if S n / S v < 1.0 (both sides of centerline). (2) This formula is applicable for a rectangular cross ‐ sectional element that falls within the limits of reinforcement.
