Rectangular Vessel Template

The document outlines parameters and calculations for a pressure vessel design, including dimensions, design pressures, material properties, and safety factors. It provides specific values for vessel dimensions, working volume, and stress calculations, ensuring compliance with design standards. The results indicate that the maximum stress is within allowable limits, suggesting the design is valid.
