Rectangular Vessel Design Full Formulas

The document outlines the specifications and calculations for a pressure vessel design, including dimensions, design pressures, material properties, and required thicknesses. It provides computed results such as the vessel's total volume, working volume, and stress analysis, indicating that the provided thickness meets safety standards. The final assessment shows a pass for the provided thickness based on the allowable stress calculations.

Notes:
1) k_b_long and k_b_short are conservative bending coefficients (replace with WRC-537/App13 coefficients when available).
2) Thickness required is NET thickness (excl. CA). Recommended provided thickness = required + CA.
3) This workbook computes required thickness by iteration and writes the result into Calculations sheet.
