Basic Information.    Estimate is for a petro-chemical vessel. The vessel is to be horizontal on twin saddle supports with ellipsoidal ends. There are 6 branches as follows: 1-24" manway, 1-16" inlet nozzle, 1-10" outlet nozzle, 1-2" safety valve, 2-2" drains.
       The vessel shell material is carbon manganese steel to BS1501-224-490B. There is no cladding or liner. The design code is to be BS5500 construction category 1.
       The loading is design pressure and temperature plus client specified nozzle loads. There are no fatigue or transient conditions specified.
