How should one start learning pressure vessel design?*

Three more: learn more, observe more, listen more. Learn more: In addition to the regulations related to pressure vessels, codes 150 and 151, it is also necessary to consult guidance materials and training books on pressure vessel design; of course, there are also books containing standards for related components such as tower vessels, horizontal vessels, and mixing vessels. Watch more: Examine the works created by seniors and colleagues, and think about them carefully. Listen more: Listen more to the discussions on design by seniors and colleagues, as well as to their guidance for you. Of course, one should also ask colleagues for more advice and be brave enough to do so. :lol

:Lol, you’ve already mentioned all the main materials for the design. It will take time to master those books thoroughly; the key is to learn how to study those books. Look up the standards and specifications mentioned in them – I’m sure you’ll be able to get the hang of it quickly. Good luck!

I’ve just started working in pressure vessel manufacturing; there’s so much to learn in this field, and the scope of design is very broad – it’s necessary to put in a lot of effort! In addition to standard regulations, there are also material standards, component standards, inspection and testing standards, and so on – all of which need to be studied carefully!* Keep going!

My knowledge of design is limited, but I think whatever methods one learns are interconnected. To be honest, standards and regulations alone cannot solve all practical problems. It might take a month to go through all those standards and regulations, but can one really understand them all? \"The Master\" is truly a good book. First of all, don’t be afraid of making mistakes; no matter what level of knowledge you have, you must be willing to make mistakes. This doesn’t mean encouraging intentional mistakes – it simply means that if you don’t understand something, then you don’t understand it; never try to pretend to know something you don’t. Only by making mistakes and learning from them can one make real progress. Another important point is to be humble and cautious: you must earnestly correct the mistakes pointed out by others, identify the reasons for those mistakes, and avoid making the same errors again. In actual design work, there may be various approaches, but it’s important to understand why one approach is chosen over another

I feel that while learning the *standards, it is also necessary to do more practical design work; only in this way can one master how to apply those standards and understand what needs to be taken into consideration in design. Many problems will arise, and it is important to seek advice from others with an open mind. Come to the forum more often; let’s work together to improve.

Study more standard and related knowledge, such as the principles of chemical engineering, as well as basic textbooks like fundamentals of thermal engineering

It is necessary to study *all the standards for pressure vessels and related regulations; 150 and 151 are the most fundamental of these standards. If you are an arts student, you also need to study *Mechanical Drawing in order to be able to read technical drawings

I’m a beginner too. The seniors at the company require that one first become familiar with two books: GB150 and the tolerance standards. Then take on more tasks, starting with the simple ones first. Do it completely: create design drawings, prepare calculation sheets (learn to use design and calculation software), develop manufacturing processes, and prepare material lists. If you don’t understand something, ask; if there are standards to follow, consult them. It’s better to work slowly and carefully, and rather than rush and produce the results late, it’s better not to be hasty. It’s best to organize as many of the seniors’ drawings as possible; the more you look at them, the faster you’ll be able to get started. It would be best to be able to visit the workshop regularly to see what the equipment looks like in reality and how it is manufactured. I think learning about the implementation of manufacturing processes can help one understand the design process better. Since design and manufacturing are closely related, what is feasible in theory may not necessarily be possible to create in practice or be practical. Moreover, many things are developed by following past experiences; they may not be the best in theory, but they are the most suitable. For beginners, the most important thing is to be responsible for oneself, to be strict and diligent, which helps learn faster. The design experience of those who came before us is the best teacher. :D

Look at more standards, work on more projects, and ask more questions! ! I did this when I first started, and now I’ve reaped great benefits from it! ! !

The three books you mentioned are fundamental texts that must be understood thoroughly. Other essential basic knowledge includes engineering mechanics, material mechanics, as well as various relevant standards and specifications – there’s quite a lot of it. In design work, one needs to be bold yet careful, and to have a solid knowledge base. It’s important to read widely, study diligently, and think constantly

Attention must be paid to designing the processing methods for products and components as well as the required dimensional tolerances; it is also necessary to strictly follow the formatting and requirements of mechanical drawing standards, and most importantly, to integrate theory with practice.

I’m also about to start learning *pressure vessel design and am feeling confused; I’d like to learn more from the original poster

I am extremely grateful for the guidance from all my seniors. I’m not majoring in mechanics, so it’s quite difficult for me to learn. With everyone’s guidance, I believe I’ll be able to learn faster and do better. Thank you all!

Container design falls under the field of chemical engineering equipment and design. For beginners, it is essential to lay a solid foundation first by mastering the principles of chemical engineering, as well as relevant standards such as GB150, GB151, and the regulations for the safety supervision of pressure vessels. It is also important to seek advice from experienced engineers with design expertise, to observe on-site how riveting is carried out, to understand various manufacturing processes, and to learn knowledge related to welding. Gradually, one should comprehend and internalize this information, while collecting various standards and specifications. After some time of practice, I mastered it.

Without further ado, familiarize yourself with the standards and guidelines provided by your organization
