The Pressure Vessel Handbook covers design and construction methods of pressure vessels made of carbon steel. The Handbook reflects the continuous revisions of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1; as well as ANSI standards, API specifications, piping codes, and pressure vessel laws. The book contains 460 illustrations, 95 tables, and 30 charts.Table Of Contents:Part I: Design and Construction of Pressure VesselsVessels under internal pressureVessels under external pressureDesign of tall towersVessel supportsOpeningsNozzle loadsReinforcement at the junction of cone to cylinderWelding of pressure vesselsRegulations, specificationsMaterials of foreign countriesWelded tanksPiping codesRectangular tanksCorrosionMiscellaneousPainting of steel surfacesPart II: Geometry and Layout of Pressure VesselsGeometrical formulasGeometrical problems and constructionSolution of right trianglesOptimum vessel sizeFlat rings made of sectorsFrustum of concentric coneFrustum of eccentric coneBent and mitered pipesIntersectionsDrop at the intersection of vessel and nozzleTable for locating points on 2:1 ellipsoidal headsLength of arcsCircumferences and areas of circlesAppurtenancesPart III: Measures and WeightsTable of properties of pipes, tubesDimensions of heads, flanges, long welding necks, welding fittings, screwed couplingsWeight of shells and heads, pipes and fittings, flanges, openings, packing and insulation, plates, circular plates, boltsVolume of shells and heads, partial volumes in horizontal cylinders, partial volumes in ellipsoidal and spherical headsConversion tablesPart IV: Design of Steel StructuresStress and strain formulasProperties of sectionsCenter of gravityBeam formulasDesign of welded jointsExample calculationsBolted connectionsPart V: MiscellaneousAbbreviationsCodes, standards, specificationsList of organizationsLiteratureDefinitionsIndex
