Pressure Vessels: Pressure vessels are containers designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. They are essential in various industries, including chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, power generation, and food processing. Their design, fabrication, and operation are critical because the high-pressure conditions present hazards such as explosions or leaks if not properly managed.Key Characteristics:
Shape: Typically cylindrical, spherical, or conical to evenly distribute stress.
Material: Constructed from steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or composite materials to handle high pressures and corrosive environments.
Design Considerations: Must adhere to strict codes and standards such as ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code to ensure safety and reliability.
Common Applications:
Boilers (steam generation)
Reactors (chemical processes)
Storage tanks (gas and liquid storage)
Types of Pressure Vessels:
Spherical Vessels: Used for very high-pressure applications due to even stress distribution.
Cylindrical Vessels: Common for lower-pressure applications, easier to fabricate.
Horizontal or Vertical Vessels: Based on space requirements and the specific application.
Piping Systems: Piping is a network of pipes used to transport fluids (liquids, gases, or slurries) from one location to another. Industrial piping is an integral part of pressure vessels since it facilitates the movement of fluids into, within, and out of the vessel.
Key Characteristics:
Material: Carbon steel, stainless steel, PVC, or HDPE, depending on the nature of the fluid and operating conditions (pressure, temperature, corrosiveness).
Fittings and Valves: Piping systems include various components like elbows, tees, reducers, flanges, and valves to control flow and connect sections.
Design Standards: Like pressure vessels, piping systems follow industry standards such as ASME B31.3 (Process Piping) for safe operation.
Types of Piping Systems:
Process Piping: Used in industrial plants to transport process fluids (oil, gas, chemicals).
Power Piping: Found in power plants for handling steam, water, and other fluids.
Plumbing Systems: Commonly used in residential and commercial buildings to carry water and sewage.
Applications of Pressure Vessels and Piping:
Oil and gas refineries
Power plants (nuclear, fossil-fuel, hydro)
Water treatment facilities
Food and beverage processing plants
Pharmaceutical industries

PRESSURE VESSELS
PRESSURE VESSELS Cylinder Cylinder is a mechanical device used for storing ,receiving processing the fluid . Cylinder may be Pressure vessel Storage vessel Pipe Engine cylinder Cylindrical Pressure Vessel Thin Cylinder :- If The ratio of d i / t > 15 Thick cylinder :- if the ratio d i / t < 15
Stresses in Thin Cylinder Circumferential or Hoop Stress , σ t Longitudinal Stress, σ l Radial Stress, σ r Radial stress is equal to internal pressure at inner surface and zero at outer surface. Forces due to internal pressure are balanced by shear stresses in wall.
