Pressure vessel used to store fluids under pressure and temperature. The fluids can be air, water, chemicals, fuel, gases etc. is most commonly used in food factories, chemical industries, oil refineries etc. Fluids are stored in vessel at high pressure due to this structural stresses induced in it. Since the pressure vessel are subjected to structural stresses, the design of pressure vessel was done using standard code. Fatigue failure most common failure observed in pressure vessels. In this paper a detailed fatigue assessment is studied for pressure vessel as per EN 13445. The European pressure vessel standard EN 13445 provides in its part 3 a detailed fatigue assessment. The main aim of this project is to design and estimate fatigue life so that it will not fail in case of variable pressure condition. The modeling has been done using SolidWorks modeling software and analysis is done using ANSYS Workbench.
