Pressure Vessels: Design and Practice

With very few books adequately addressing ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code and other international code issues, Somnath Chattopadhyay's Pressure Vessels: Design and Practice provides a comprehensive, in-depth guide on everything engineers need to know to design pressure vessels. This volume covers the basic theories and principles behind the stress-limiting conditions in the codes and is also a practical guide for designing and building pressure vessels of all types. Not just a "cookbook," this volume allows engineers to trace the origin of the design equations used in the construction codes so that they will gain valuable insight into the design process.
