Introduction (contd)

Method of Comparison
The equations for the 4 aspects (e.g Internal Pressure Containment) are
presented
The Wall Thickness for Internal Pressure Containment across the 4
design codes are determined

Conclusion

From the Comparison Table, it can be seen that, each aspect for
each check, may result in different value for the Wall Thickness.
The highest value gotten for one particular check is taken (in
bold).
From this it can be seen that the most conservative code is DNV
1981.
The least conservative is DNV 2000.
