Jy. Zheng et al., A REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT IN LAYERED VESSELS USING FLAT-RIBBON-WOUND CYLINDRICAL-SHELLS, International journal of pressure vessels and piping, 75(9), 1998, pp. 653-659
Over the past 30 years, more than 7000 layered vessels using flat-ribb
on-wound cylindrical shells have been manufactured in the People's Rep
ublic of China. Theoretical as well as experimental investigations sho
w that there are distinct economical and engineering advantages when u
sing such vessels. The vessel provides the industry with a competitive
design suitable for use in the oil refining, chemical and petrochemic
al fields. The present state of art in strength, design method and som
e related areas of development of such vessels are described. (C) 1998
