although i have built plenty of vessels i have never had to design one and i was hopping that some one could point me in the right direction on finding guidelines for how think i need to make the shell.the project is rather simple; a 10 gallon tank with a dished head on either end and to 1/2 npt bungs welded in. it will hold 100 psi of air. would assuming that something like 6061 would be fine but i am curious on wall thickness of the shell and teh head.i am not looking for someone to design this for me i was more curious if their were some known guidelines for designing these kinds of things.
Reply:Some over the road trucks had alum. air tanks. Might just find what is needed and not have to build it.
Reply:Aluminum LP tank. Like the size used on forklifts. I have one I use for an air pig. You can see it in the upper left corner of this pic. Just an idea... Attached ImagesMy name's not Jim....
Reply:There are specific codes for designing pressure vessels. If you can't find a code stamped vessel to copy, then you need to go to the library and research ASME pressure vessel codes. The code will tell you how to calculate the wall thickness for a given material, dimensions, and working pressure.Here's a link to what you need. I don't recommend buying it unless you do a great deal of this work. You probably need official recognition as a Pressure vessel fabricator if you're doing this for commercial purposes. Watch out for your responsibility & liability if you're selling these.http://www.asme.org/Codes/VIII_Press...ls_Divison.cfmBenson's Mobile Welding - Dayton, OH metro area - AWS Certified Welding Inspector |
