ASME Sec 8 Div 1 is for designing pressure vessels for general applications while Div 2 is for designing pressure vessels for specific applications.

• ASME Sec 8 Div 1 is based on design by rule approach while Div 2 is based on design by analysis approach.

• Div 1 has more conservative design rules while Div 2 allows for more flexibility in design.

• Div 2 requires more detailed analysis and testing than Div 1.

• Div 2 is used for designing pressure vessels for nuclear applications, whil...read more

Vessel design parameters include size, shape, material, and intended use.

• Size: determines capacity and stability

• Shape: affects hydrodynamics and maneuverability

• Material: impacts strength, weight, and corrosion resistance

• Intended use: dictates features such as cargo hold, propulsion, and navigation systems
