The shape of a gas pressure vessel is typically cylindrical, which allows for uniform distribution of stress along the walls when subjected to high pressure. The thickness of the vessel walls is determined by the internal gas pressure, the type of gas being stored, and the design codes applicable to the vessel. Industry standards, such as those set by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), provide guidelines for designing and constructing these vessels to ensure they can withstand operational stresses.
