ABSTRACT
Mechanical design (analysis) reported in this book is the calculation of thickness for maximum allowable stress or maximum induced relevant stresses for a given thickness of any element for which equation is derived using maximum principal stress theory of failure by any analytical method of analysis and relevant design theories. The activities involved in connection with the design of pressure vessels for manufacturing them before, during, and after are briefly covered in this chapter. They are process and plant design, design data, valves, controls, instruments, auxiliaries, data sheets, materials, statutory and mandatory rules, inspection, testing, stamping identification marks, registration, documentation, and others.
