Material selection for pressure resistance in stainless steel tanks
Thread Content
I have a question: the material is SUS304, the diameter is 850 mm, the height is 1220 mm; the lower end features an elliptical head that is welded, while the upper end has a flange. It needs to be able to withstand steam at a pressure of 0.3 MPa. What thickness of stainless steel sheet is required? Urgent online! Thank you

A compressive strength of around 2 mm is sufficient, but factors such as stiffness, hydrostatic testing, and the amount of corrosion allowance also need to be taken into consideration; it’s advisable to increase this value a bit. 5 mm or more should be fine, and perhaps 4 mm will also be sufficient
Calculate it by yourself using SW6; this falls under the category of pressure vessels
I don’t have this software. Could you help me calculate it? Thanks a lot!
