Pressure Vessels
Pressure Vessels
A Pressure Vessels is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. These vessels are used in a wide range of industrial applications where the contained fluids need to be kept at specific pressures to facilitate processes such as storage, reactions, or transportation. Pressure vessels are constructed to ensure safety, reliability, and structural integrity under the conditions of pressure and temperature they will be subjected to.
Pressure vessels are found in various industries, including:
- Chemical Industry: : Used for chemical reactions, mixing, and storage of volatile or corrosive substances.
- Oil and Gas Industry: Employed for storing and transporting various petroleum products, gases, and chemicals.
- Power Generation: Steam boilers and nuclear reactor vessels are examples of pressure vessels used in power plants.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: Used for processes involving high-pressure reactions and sterilization.
- Food and Beverage Industry: Pressure vessels are used for various processes, such as pasteurization and brewing.
- Aerospace Industry: Spacecraft and aircraft often incorporate pressure vessels for maintaining cabin pressure and storing fuels.
Pressure vessels are designed and manufactured in accordance with industryspecific codes and standards. Common codes include ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, PED (Pressure Equipment Directive), and others depending on the region and industry
