This paper presents the stress analysis of nozzle and shell junction of a pressure vessel. The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) standards are used for the design and fabrication of boilers and pressure vessels. ASME section viii division 1 follows design-by-formula approach while division 2 contains a set of alternative rules based on design-by-analysis approach. Div.2 has procedure for the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to determine the expected stresses that may develop during operation. A solid model, pressure vessel having nozzle is created by using Design Modeler of ANSYS program. For given boundary and loading conditions, the stress developed is analyzed using mechanical workbench of ANSYS software. After analysis, it is found that maximum localized stress arises at the nozzle to shell interface near the junction area. The results obtained shows that the nozzle design is safe for the design loading conditions.
