Computation For Air Receiver Tank

The document outlines a calculation to determine the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of a pressure vessel using the thickness, material tensile strength, weld efficiency, inside radius, and a safety factor. It performs the calculation and finds the MAWP is 111 psi, which is above the required safety valve pressure of 100 psi and allows for automatic compressor control between 90-100 psi.

1. The pressure vessel must be equipped with safety valve of


100 psi.
2. The pressure vessel must be equipped with a pressure
control to automatically start the compressor at 90 psi and
switch of at less than 100 psi.
