ASME Shell Thickness Calculation Guide

The document outlines the shell thickness calculations for a vessel designed to operate at a working pressure of 3 barg and a design pressure of 3.5 barg. It includes details on shell and dish thicknesses, material specifications, and allowable stresses according to ASME standards. The selected thickness for the shell is 4 mm, with various calculations provided for longitudinal and circumferential stresses.
