Stainless Steel Pressure Vessel Design

The document provides calculations to design a cylindrical pressure vessel made of stainless steel 410 with a hemispherical head. Key details include: - Dimensions of 0.86m diameter and 1.72m height were calculated based on a volume of 0.999L. - Thickness calculations for the cylindrical section and hemispherical head determine minimum required thicknesses of 0.397mm and 0.198mm respectively. - Weight calculations include 3.263 metric tons for the shell, 177.785kg for insulation, and 6,615.128kg for a potassium permanganate catalyst. - Total weight is estimated at 6,973.961 metric tons. Stress calculations are also provided for design verification

Adding corrosion allowance (mm): 2.397

Domed Head
Hemisperical Head
t=P*D/((4*f*E)-(0.4*P))
t (mm) : 0.198
Adding corrosion allowance (mm) : 2.198

Ellipsoidal Head
t=P*D/((2*f*E)-(0.2*P))
t (mm) : 0.397
Adding corrosion allowance (mm) : 2.397

Torispherical Head
t=(0.885*P*Rc)/((f*E)-(0.1*P))
t (mm) : 0.703
Adding corrosion allowance (mm): 2.703

So, an ellipsoidal head would probably the most economical
