= 3.14/4*d*d*L + 2*3.14/6*K*d*d*d
= 3.14*0.438*0.438*0.63/4 + 2*3.14*0.5*0.438*0.438*0.438
= 0.048 + 0.1 = 0.148 m3 check
Thickness Calculation for shell & Dished end as per
ASME Sec.VIII Div. I:
Shell:
The minimum thickness or maximum allowable working pressure of cylindrical shell be the
greater thickness or lesser pressure as given by:
t = PR
SE 0.6P
t = mini. Reqd. thickness of the shell in mm.
P = internal pressure in kg / cm2
R = inside radius in mm
S = max. allowable stress for SS 304 in kg / cm2 (as per std.)
E = Joint efficiency for appropriate cylindrical vessel. For welded vessel use Tab. UW-12
P = 8.0 kg / cm2( Design pressure )
R = 219 mm
S = 20 ksi i.e.1406 kg/cm2.
E = 0.85
t = 8 X 219
1406 X 0.85 0.6 X 8
t = 1.472 mm
Taking manufacturing tolerance on thickness of plate used:
Min. thk. Required t = 1.472/0.875 = 1.682 mm
Provided thickness is 6 mm Hence safe.

Dished End:
t = 0.885PL
(SE-0.1P)
t = mini. Required thickness of the shell in mm.
P = internal pressure in kg / cm2
R = inside radius in mm
S = max. allowable stress for SS 304 in kg / cm2 (as per ASME Sec.VIII Div.I)
E = Joint efficiency for appropriate cylindrical vessel. For welded vessel use Table UW-12
L = Crown radius mm

P = 8.0 kg / cm2( Design pressure )

R = 219 mm
L = 230 mm
S = 20 ksi i.e.1406 kg/cm2.
E = 0.85
= 0.885 *8*230
1406* 0.85-0.1*8
= 1.363 mm
Taking manufacturing tolerance on thickness of plate used:
Min. thk. Required t = 1.363/0.875 = 1.558 mm
Provided thickness is nom 6 / min. 5 mm after dishing, Hence safe.

Nozzle:
Size 2NB i.e., OD 60.3, Sch.40
Min. thickness of nozzle required:
t = PR
SE 0.6P
t = 8*30.15
1406 X 0.85 0.6 X 8
t = 0.756 mm = 0.8 mm min required
Taking manufacturing tolerance on pipe thk. Of 12.5%
t = 0.756 / .875 = 0.864 mm
Used pipe thickness of Sch.40 i.e., 3.91 mm is safe.

Flange of ANSI ASA B16.5, cl.150 rating and half couplings of 3000 LBS rating,
and material A182F304 used are safe for the working pressure and meets the code
requirements.

Supports saddles fabricated from 10mm thk. CS IS2062/ ASTM A283 Gr.B is
sufficient for the weight of the vessel approx. 100 kgs.
