Could anyone point me in the direction of a good (quality) pressure vessel design book? I'm looking for a book with equations/explinations of design proceedures. I currently have the Pressure Vessel Design Manual (by Dennis Moss). The book has everything I am looking for as far as vessel design (seismic / wind design, support lug / saddle design among other things), but it is full of errors. I have been told the Pressure Vessel Design Handbook (by Henry Bednar) is a good book. Any comments / suggestions?

Thank you!!

Danny

Try 'Pressure Vessel Handbook' by Eugene F. Megyesy, is has been through several editions and should be relatively free of errors.

Thanks! I actually have this book and you are right, it is helpful and relatively free of errors. It's not great, however, for wind or seismic design. The vessel support section is generally weak as well. Are there any references available to help in these areas?
