 Abstract
• This project deals with the Design and Analysis of Pressure
vessels with different heads, while keeping the same cylindrical
volume and thickness. The desired pressure vessel is designed
as per ASME standard section VIII, division I for 8 bar
pressure and 24 lit volume. Thus end connections are tested
under FEA to find stress concentration zone in each type of
pressure vessel head kept under the same volume and pressure.
Comparison of stress concentration zone will be studied for all
the heads and suitable design is suggested.

• KEYWORDS: Pressure Vessel, End connections, Stress

analysis, FEA.
