What is Design Vessel?

Design vessel refers to the process of designing a vessel or a container, such as a pressure vessel, storage tank, or a reactor, that is used for storing or transporting materials at different temperatures and pressures. The design of a vessel includes determining the appropriate material and thickness, dimensions, configuration, and structural integrity to ensure safe and efficient operation under various conditions. This involves following various codes and standards such as ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, API standards, and other industry-specific regulations. The design process involves various aspects such as mechanical design, stress analysis, fatigue analysis, corrosion analysis, and material selection.
