Can some one help me with the boiler mechanical design. How close is the design related to design of a pressure vessel.

Thanks a lot in advance

Regards

Very close. Try ASME Sec I.

Very, very close.....

Try reading up on boilers and pressure vessels and then you will be able to ask better questions. Much good information available from B&W in thier classic text "Steam".... the boiler Bible for newbies....Buy it

Are you in the process of purchasing a new boiler or repairing an existing one..??

thanks both of you for the reply and suggestion. Yes I shall try to read ASME
I am in neither of them

You'll find that Section I is very much thinner than Section VIII and has only one volume...
