Abstract

Standards SRPS M.E2.250-262 for calculation of pressure vessels have been replaced by SRPS EN 13445-3. This means that calculations of new equipment and check calculations of equipment in service are subjected to ordinance on the technical requirements for the design, development and conformity assessment of simple pressure vessels. The paper presents a strength design calculation of a horizontal cylindrical water tank according to a series of standards SRPS M.E2 and SRPS EN 13445, including a comparative analysis of results. The check calculation includes the cylindrical shell and two shallow torispherical dished ends under working pressure of 8 bar, and the assessment of decreased load-carrying capacity due to inspection opening DN400 at the spherical part of dished end.
