The Development of Reinforcement Pad Design for Pressure Vessel

Abstract

This paper reviews research from difference researchers on pressure vessel component particularly reinforcement pad or repad design. Present study includes the history of pressure vessel and background of famous pressure vessel code American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code establishment. Purpose of present research is to study the development repad design and the application repad on pressure vessels. Literatures from other researches on various repad design carried out by experimental and finite element analysis were discussed in present study.
