Question: A cylindrical vessel 1 6 f t inside diameter and 3 2 f t tangent to tangent length is required to process petroleum hydrocarbons at

A cylindrical vessel 16ft inside diameter and 32ft tangent to tangent length is required to process petroleum hydrocarbons at 230 and 200F. The vessel is to be designed to code specifications. The corrosion allowance is 116 in. determine the minimum shell thickness approximating the nearest standard thickness. Select suitable formed heads for the vessel and determine their thickness and dimensions. The steel used for fabricating the shell and formed heads is SA-283 Grade C and joint efficiency of 0.8.
