Cost Estimation of Vessels with Lining
Cost Estimation of Vessels with Lining
(OP)
Problem Statement:
I am doing a cost comparison between a lined-vessel and vessel without lining. I wish to know the cost comparison
However, I have no idea on how to estimate this
Questions
1) How does the cost of vessel lining i.e. Stainless Steel Cladding/Lining be determined? Is it based on surface area? volume? Or is it a fraction of the vessel cost i.e. 1/5 of total vessel cost?
2) Can anyone help with any unit rate of Stainless Steel Cladding/Lining?
Appreciate you sonnest response to the above query. This is very important for me.Thank you

If you haven't selected a manufacturer, trying an internet search on "lined pressure vessel cost" will bring up some who should at least be able to answer your basic questions.

Lining does add cost, mostly by virtue of requiring proper fabrication details and testing to ensure that an intact lining of uniform thickness can be installed. For small vessels, the biggest problem is access, requiring the addition of body flanges- that can add up cost quickly.
For shop-fabricated tanks of a size that can be entered, a factor of 2x the unlined cost would be closer to the mark in our experience.
