(OP)
Can anyone refer me to what codes refer to the design (wall thickness in paticular) of a pressurized rectangular box. I have been told that Section 8 div 1 deels only with cylindrical or spherical vessels.

Also since i prefer not to spend the money can anyone refer me to an alternate way of calculating what i need? i have found plenty of stuff in calculating cylindrical object but nothing for thickness of a box.

However, before constructing any sort of pressure vessel, you should determine if a Coded vessel is required for liability, contractural or other reasons.

As far as we are aware it is the only code that covers rectangular vessels.
