This book offers a comprehensive guide to the design and construction of process equipment and storage tanks. It covers the theoretical fundamentals of calculation methods and dimensioning techniques used in the design process, as well as the interpretation and evaluation of finite element examination results for stress concentrating cross-sections. Additionally, the book showcases corrosion-proof design through real-world examples.

All measurement and calculation results presented in the book are based on the author's original research work.

Andras Nagy has over 35 years of research and academic work in the field of mechanical engineering training specialized in the chemical industry.
