Issues regarding the addition of reinforcement rings to externally pressurized equipment
Thread Content
As the title suggests: I wonder if anyone who works in design has encountered this situation – in pressure vessels, sometimes it is necessary to add reinforcement rings to the nozzles on the vessel body for reinforcement, whereas nozzles of the same size or even larger sizes on the head do not require such reinforcement! Has anyone encountered this and can explain it in detail?
The thickness of the cylinder and the head is the same!

Well, yes, it’s determined by the calculation formulas for the head and the cylinder; as a result, the calculated thickness of the head is smaller than that of the cylinder
