The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code contains rules for non-circular pressure vessels of unreinforced and reinforced construction. For bolted flanged connections of such vessels, no design rules are available at present. This paper describes two design methods for noncircular flanges which are used at present by pressure vessel designers.
