Pressure Vessel Design*
Thread Content
Dear forum members: I have been working in pressure vessel welding for over 5 years, and I feel that this field doesn’t have much future prospects – it’s not given much importance in most companies. I want to learn some design knowledge on my own, but I’m not sure where to start. Could any experienced colleagues give me some advice? Thank you.
There are several aspects of study involved in pressure vessel design. 1. For domestic pressure vessels, it is necessary to thoroughly understand the relevant standard specifications, namely GB150 and the specific regulatory guidelines. 2. Calculation software, SW6 3. CAD drawing software, and how to draw. If you are in the Yangtze River Delta region, I can teach you for free; there is currently one person learning from me. WeChat zgmhhs.
You need to be familiar with equipment flanges, pipe flanges, gaskets, supports, manholes, safety valves, rupture discs, level gauges, as well as the determination of design pressure and design temperature to identify whether it is a pressure vessel. GB150, GB151, tolerance standards. Heat exchangers, towers. Materials are selected based on their properties; although stainless steel is a good material, using it improperly can lead to intergranular corrosion. Wait
It depends on which direction you want to go – process design or equipment design? The difference between the two paths is still quite large
Dude. . . We’re both welders, haha
