Análise comparativa entre dois vasos de pressão cilíndricos: Aço x PRFV

Abstract

Pressure Vessels are equipment that contains pressurized fluids at low or high pressure. These vessels are storage space for the most varied applications in industrial processes. They are equipment that demands specialized technical responsibility for design, manufacture, maintenance, and inspection, and their project must consider safety and reliability in their operations. The goal of this work consists of a comparative analysis of some parameters of a hypothetical pressure vessel made of steel and another vessel made of glass reinforced plastic composite (GRP) to have a differential weight and cost comparison under identical conditions imposed on the vessels. In order, some calculations were carried out inherent to the pressure vessel with predefined geometry and dimensions, according to literary standards enabling the achievement and comparison of the desired parameters between the two constituent materials.
