Insight into Pressurizing a Pressure Vessel Pressure vessels are essential components across various industries, including petrochemicals, power generation, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. These specialized containers are designed to safely store or process gases and liquids under high pressure. However, the process of pressurizing a pressure vessel involves more than simply filling it with a substance.… Continue reading Mastering the Art of Pressure Vessel Pressurization

Introduction to the typical safety factor for pressure vessels The typical safety factor for pressure vessels represents the relationship between the material’s ultimate tensile strength (or sometimes yield strength) and the allowable stress value used in design calculations. For pressure vessels designed according to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) Section VIII, Division… Continue reading Typical Safety Factor for Pressure Vessels

Preventing Pressure Vessel Failures: Understanding the Most Serious Hazard The most serious hazards tied to pressure vessels stem from catastrophic failures. These failures lead to the rapid release of stored energy within the vessel. Such events cause severe consequences, including: Boom Time: The Explosive Reality of Pressure Vessels Imagine a vessel sitting there, holding a… Continue reading Understanding Pressure Vessel Hazards

The ASME factor of a pressure vessel In the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), the term “ASME factor” usually refers to the design safety factor or allowable stress factor. This factor defines the relationship between a material’s ultimate tensile strength (or yield strength) and the allowable stress value used in design calculations. For… Continue reading ASME Factor for Pressure Vessels

Overview of ASME Vessel Regulations The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) sets standards for designing, fabricating, and inspecting pressure vessels through its Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), particularly Section VIII. According to ASME, a pressure vessel is a container that holds or stores gases or liquids under pressure. Here’s a detailed definition based… Continue reading ASME’s Definition of a Pressure Vessel

Introduction to the criteria for a pressure vessel Pressure vessels are containers designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from ambient pressure. The design, manufacturing, and operation of pressure vessels are governed by design codes and standards to ensure safety. The criteria for a pressure vessel can vary based on the… Continue reading Essential Criteria for Designing a Pressure Vessel
