High Pressure Vessels for Custom Industrial Applications

Yes. Customer drawings, existing vessel drawings, process datasheets and project specifications can be reviewed as the basis for quotation and fabrication. Before production, the design conditions, material, nozzle arrangement, welding requirements, inspection scope and applicable project requirements should be confirmed and approved.

Projects can be reviewed and manufactured according to applicable ASME requirements when specified. The required code edition, certification or stamping scope, inspection requirements and documentation package should be confirmed during quotation so the project scope is clearly defined before fabrication begins.

Material selection depends on the process medium, corrosion conditions, temperature, cleanliness requirements, surface requirements and project economics rather than pressure rating alone. Carbon steel pressure vessels and stainless steel pressure vessels suit different service conditions, so the actual medium and operating environment should be reviewed first.

Inspection can include visual and dimensional checks together with non-destructive examination such as PT, MT, UT or RT where required, followed by pressure testing according to the approved project plan. The actual NDT method and extent depend on the applicable code, material, weld category and agreed inspection requirements.

Third-party or customer-appointed inspection can be coordinated when included in the project scope. Depending on the inspection plan, this may cover material verification, welding records, NDT review or witnessing, hydrostatic testing, final inspection and document review. Required witness and hold points should be defined before fabrication starts.

The final documentation package depends on the agreed project scope and can include approved drawings, material certificates, welding qualification records, NDT reports, dimensional inspection records, pressure test records and applicable project certificates. Documentation requirements should be confirmed before production so the required records are captured throughout fabrication.

Shipping preparation is reviewed according to vessel dimensions, weight, lifting arrangement, transport orientation, nozzle protection and temporary support requirements. For oversized equipment, road, container, lifting and site-access limitations should be provided early because they can affect the final vessel configuration and shipping strategy.

A high pressure vessel is primarily used for pressure containment, receiving, buffering, holding or other process-pressure duties. A high pressure reactor additionally performs a reaction duty and may require agitation, heating or cooling, feed addition, reaction internals and process-control interfaces. The correct equipment type depends on what the vessel must do inside the process.
