designing pressure vessel

(OP)
evening chaps, Im currently working on a project that requires light weight pressure vessels. Im stuck on how to calculate minimum wall thickness for the vessels in different materials for a given pressure. I.e how much bigger would they have to be if they were steel over aluminium etc? (required pressure is 300bar if that helps in any way?)

RE: designing pressure vessel

Hi crashforce

You need to look at pressure vessel standards depending which country you are in.
Without knowing the diameter of the vessel then knowing the pressure won't help.
Also you should have posted this in the pressure vessel forum.
Ps look at the link below the bottom of your post "vessel Code Calculations"

regards
