4. How does prefabrication benefit pressure vessel construction? 

Prefabrication benefits pressure vessel construction by improving quality control, reducing on-site construction time, and minimizing environmental impact. Manufacturing components in a controlled environment ensures consistent quality and reduces errors. It also speeds up the overall construction process as prefabricated components can be quickly assembled on-site. Additionally, prefabrication is more environmentally friendly, as it typically results in less waste and reduced energy consumption.

5. What role does compliance with safety standards play in pressure vessel design? 

Compliance with safety standards is crucial in pressure vessel design to ensure the safety and reliability of the vessel throughout its operational life. Adhering to standards like ASME ensures that vessels are designed and manufactured to withstand the pressures and temperatures they will encounter. Compliance involves rigorous testing, quality control measures, and regular inspections to prevent failures and accidents, thereby safeguarding both the operators and the environment.
