Abstract

In addition to standard design and production, its economics is also vital. Design and production organizations must pay special attention to the design process's cost category, selecting materials and determining production methods continually. Flexibility, access to data and information from multiple materials and the possibility of examining production methods based on the material and dimensions designed are the features of this research's results. Identifying and selecting suitable and accessible materials can be helpful in design dimensions using pressure vessel design formulas. The design and its outputs can significantly affect the weight and price of materials, production method and cost. The actual design, effects of permitted structures on material and production cost and the final total cost of a pressure vessel have been studied. The total cost values ​​were compared and validated with target values ​​compared with past research results. This method can be used as a general cost-based method for selecting suitable designs to identify and produce other products considering strengths, reliability and safety factors.
