Abstract –High pressure is developed in pressure vessel so pressure vessel has to withstand several forces developed due to internal pressure and external forces such as wind. Horizontal pressure vessel with saddle support is designed to store LPG operating at a pressure of 16.9 bars and analyzed by using FEA software ANSYS. Saddle has to carry stress pressure inside the vessel. Apart from that stresses due to self weight and other atmospheric condition. Considering this theory, the present paper focuses on a structural analysis and optimization of weight and improvement in stresses of saddle support which in turn result in reduction in cost.
