Non-Dimensional Design Method (NDDM) for pressure vessels may simplify the design process, reduce the human resource, and it can substitute for the traditional method. The principles and steps of the NDDM were presented. In the method, we constructed two kinds of non-dimension parameters through introducing referenced dimension and pressure. Non-dimensional data of the opening reinforcement structure of pressure vessels were attained. In order to validate the results, two pressure vessels with same structure and different computing pressure and size were designed. The correctness was checked by the present standards. It showed that the NDDM could be applied briefly and reliable.
