Analysis of different types of weld joint used for fabrication of pressure vessel considering design aspects with operating conditions

  Mr. Priyank Solanki,  Vijay parekh

Pressure vessels are the containers or pipelines used for storing, receiving or carrying the fluid under pressure. Various type of pressure vessels like horizontal, vertical, spherical are used in industry. For Design and fabrication of pressure vessel various parameter are studied. Various parameters such as weld techniques types of weld grooves & groove angle are most considerable. Even due to experimental visit observed that at the nozzle to bottom dish weld joint crack is initiated by die penetration and expand due to hydrotest. In this project a design data is selected for that model and parametric software used for modelling. Then FEA tool is used for analysis and compare the result with analytical method. Various parametric variation through FEA tool V groove having 30° with pad to nozzle and 30° with nozzle to dish joint is found better than others joint.

Keywords- Pressure vessel, Analysis of weld joint, changing weld grooves and angles of weld joint
