    This document contains information about the key parameters considered in designing pressure vessels such as cylinders. It lists parameters like maximum working pressure, design pressure, thickness of shells and ends, corrosion allowance, joint efficiency and calculations for minimum thicknesses, volumes of components etc. The minimum thicknesses of shells and ends are calculated using formulas referenced from Indian Standards considering factors like design pressure, internal diameter, material properties and corrosion allowance. Volumes are also calculated for cylinder components like dished ends and cylinder.
