How to learn *pressure vessel design?
Thread Content
I just graduated with a degree in polymer science. For personal reasons, I am now working in pressure vessel design. I want to learn * but don’t know where to start; I hope those who are more experienced can give me some advice or recommend some basic introductory textbooks.
First, looking at the standard GB150 is an excellent reference
GB150, Code for Fixed Equipment, GB/T151, Tower-Type Vessels, Horizontal Vessels, flange standards, saddle standards, Design Guidelines for Pressure Vessels, A Novice’s Growth Diary, Answers to Typical Questions in the Design of Pressure Equipment, Training Manual for Pressure Vessel Engineers, and so on. Read more books, engage in more design work, and keep thinking carefully; in about two to three years, one’s skills will be fairly good.
Standards such as GB150 and GB151
Read more about the standards and reference materials for pressure vessels.
Standards, specifications, design guidelines, training manuals, etc. – learn while working, or find some design simulations to use; it’s best to have a teacher to guide you, and to ask questions, learn as much as possible, and keep summarizing what you’ve learned.
