A process vessel 10ft inside diameter and 25ftfromtangentlinetotangentlineheight
is required to process petroleum hydrocarbons at 130 psi and 250F. The steel used
in fabricating the shell and formed heads is SA-285 Grade C, and joint efficiency of
0.85. The dished head has a radius of 36 in and a knuckle radius sf 4 in. The design
of the shell and formed heads should be according to code specifications. The
corrosion allowance is 116 in. Determine the total weight of the shell and formed
heads if the density of the steel is 490lbft3. Select suitable formed heads for the
vessel and determine their thickness and dimensions.
