Pressure Vessel Plate Material
Pressure Vessel Plate Material
(OP)
Is there a resource/guide available to help in determining the proper plate material selection for pressure vessels?
I'm specifying data sheets for the fabrication of air receivers, and flash tanks. Flash tank is below 50 psig operating, and air receivers below 120 psig.
Thanks

It sounds like you need the Pressure Vessel Handbook by Eugene F. Megyesy.

One quick way is to check existing drawings and check their material of constructions and see if it would satisfy your code requirements.

If for a client ask him what he wants.

This is my first effort at specifying vessel materials for a client.
Thanks again for your input!
RE: Pressure Vessel Plate Material
As the client, you are responsible for considering the type of material required. For example, if a carbon steeel such as SA516-Grade 70 (which is probably most common grade used in North America) is subject to corrosion from the service, you must specify the appropriate corrosion allowance for the manufacturer to add to the required thickness thickness.
