Thick shell: If ratio of the thickness to diameter of shell is more than 1/20th, then the shell is said to be thick shell. Vessels can withstand only internal fluid pressure, but they cannot withstand external fluid pressure. Thin shell: If ratio of the thickness to diameter of shell is less than 1/20th, then the shell is said to be thin shell. The openings cannot be avoided because of various piping or measuring gauge attachments.Īccording to the thickness provided to the pressure vessel:.

Openings vary in size from small drain nozzles to full vessel size openings. Pressure Vessels have openings to provide accommodations to manholes, and nozzles.

Spherical pressure vessel has different components such as sphere, supporting ring and legs, viewing windows and nozzles. Due to practical requirements, pressure vessels are often equipped with openings of various shapes, sizes and positions. The failure of pressure vessel may result in loss of life, health hazards and damage of property. Pressure vessels find varied applications in process and chemical industries, in space and ocean depths, thermal and nuclear power plants and fluid supply systems in industries. We are focused on spherical pressure vessel because strength of spherical pressure vessel is double the strength of the cylindrical pressure vessel with same wall thickness and same inside pressure. Different shapes of pressure vessels exist but most generally cylindrical and spherical shapes are used. The pressure vessel is a type of vessel used to store liquids, vapors and gases under a pressure different from the atmospheric pressure. Key Words: Pressure Vessel, SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS. Mainly we are focused on the analysis of von mises stress and total deformation of the spherical pressure vessel. We are designing spherical pressure vessel by using SOLIDWORKS and the analysis is complete by using ANSYS.

High pressure increase is developed in the pressure vessel and pressure vessel has to survive severe forces. We are focused on spherical pressure vessel because strength of spherical pressure vessel is double the strength of the cylindrical pressure vessel with same wall thickness and same inside pressure acted on wall.
