How Big, How Thick, How Strong?
Guidelines for vacuum vessel
design at ANSTO
Microprobe Chamber Design
But isn't this a
vacuum vessel not a
pressure vessel?
According to AS1210-2010
If all vacuum vessels fall under AS1210 for design,
what does this mean for us?
According to AS4343-2005
• Almost all vacuum equipment used at ANSTO
are Hazard Level E
Vacuum vessels of internal volume ≤3000L
Hazard Level E – No specific regulatory controls.
Basis of design
Hand calculations
Existing designs
Relevant standards and
guidlines
Finite Element Analysis
Accelerator Vacuum Systems
ANSTO Guide To Vacuum Vessel Design
ANSTO Guide To Vacuum Vessel Design
ANSTO Guide To Vacuum Vessel Design
Limitations to the guide
For more complex designs:
- Non – cylindrical
- Large penetrations
- Larger than 300 Litres
The Pressure Vessel Approvals Officer Should be
consulted during the design process.
Non Cylindrical Chambers
