Horizontal Pressure Vessel Designed Per ASME Section VIII, Division 1

The Pressure Vessel shown below was designed using SolidWorks, MapleSoft Mathematics Software, and the 'Pressure Vessel Handbook', 9th Edition by Eugene F. Megyesy. The equations used are based on ASME Section VIII, Division 1, and an analysis by L.P. Zick. Click the STRESS FAILURE CRITERIA ICON to the right to see an example of these calculations.

In addition to pressure vessel (PV) design per ASME VIII, DESE can design and stress analyze stiffening rings, support saddles, vertical PV support legs, PV lug supports, threaded and welded fittings, access and inspection openings, and rectangular tanks.

These calculations can be used for designing new pressure vessels, or to verify ASME code compliance for existing pressure vessels.
