pv thickness

zafary;
The thickness required for pressure vessels is based on rules in ASME B&PV Code, Section VIII, Div 1 Part UG. Since Div 1 is considered "design by rule", there are formula's for this.
Given a starting pressure and temperature for the vessel, the designer (you) needs to select the optimum material(s) based on service environment, cost and availability of material.
I would recommend you either work with someone that is experienced in pressure vessel design or hire this out and work closely with the organization to learn from expierence.
I would also invest in several books regarding pressure vessel design and purchase one of the CASTI books regarding ASME Section VIII, Div 1.
