Introduction to the criteria for a pressure vessel Pressure vessels are containers designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from ambient pressure. The design, manufacturing, and operation of pressure vessels are governed by design codes and standards to ensure safety. The criteria for a pressure vessel can vary based on the… Continue reading Essential Criteria for Designing a Pressure Vessel

Introduction to the theory of failure is used in designing pressure vessels and why When designing pressure vessels, the most commonly used failure theory is the Maximum Principal Stress Theory, also known as Rankine’s Theory of Failure. This theory is particularly suitable for brittle materials, and while pressure vessel materials are generally ductile, the theory… Continue reading Understanding the Preferred Failure Theory in Pressure Vessel Design: Reasons and Implications

Introduction to the external pressure failure of pressure vessels External pressure failure refers to the collapse or implosion of a pressure vessel due to the external pressure being greater than the internal pressure. This scenario is the opposite of what many pressure vessels are primarily designed to handle, which is containing high internal pressures. However,… Continue reading Understanding External Pressure Failure in Pressure Vessels

Introduction to the types of failure in the strength of materials In the context of the strength of materials (also known as mechanics of materials or solid mechanics), failure refers to the inability of a material or structural element to perform its desired function due to deformation, cracking, or other forms of material breakdown under… Continue reading Common Types of Failure in Strength of Materials

Introduction to the 6 case histories of pressure vessel failures Over the years, there have been several notable pressure vessel failures that have served as case histories, highlighting the importance of safety protocols, design considerations, and operational practices. These incidents have often led to modifications in standards and have informed best practices in the industry.… Continue reading Significant Case Histories of Pressure Vessel Failures

Introduction to the 3 major hazards related to pressure vessels  Pressure vessels, given they’re cranking under mad pressure and sometimes scorching temps, are a minefield of dangers. Dig into the risk landscape, and you’ll spot three biggies that’ll make you sit up. Boom Time: Why it Happens: This is the jaw-dropper of the bunch. Picture… Continue reading Major Hazards Associated with Pressure Vessels

Introduction to the different types of pressure vessel stress Pressure pots are like the tough guys of the industrial world, dealing with all sorts of pressures, both inside and out. Getting the lowdown on the different pressures they face is key to keeping them strong and in the game. Here’s the scoop on the main… Continue reading Types of Pressure Vessel Stress

Introduction to the factors affecting pressure vessels Pressure vessels are critical components in various industries, and their performance can be influenced by several factors. These factors can affect their design, operation, maintenance, and overall lifespan. Here are the primary factors affecting pressure vessels: Design Vibes: What They’re Made Of: Whether it’s tough-as-nails steel, fancy stainless,… Continue reading Factors Affecting Pressure Vessels
