In the field of unfired pressure vessel design and fabrication, engineers frequently work under different regulatory frameworks. Among the most widely used international standards are EN 13445 vs ASME Section VIII Division 1, both of which establish requirements for the design, fabrication, inspection, and testing of pressure vessels. Despite sharing the same fundamental objective—ensuring safety […]
In the field of mechanical design for pressure vessels, selecting the appropriate applicable code is a critical factor to ensure structural safety, operational efficiency, and resource optimization. Within the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), Section VIII establishes the criteria for the design, fabrication, inspection, and testing of industrial pressure vessels. This section is divided […]
Pressure vessels are essential components in countless industrial processes — from petrochemical and energy sectors to pharmaceutical and food industries. These containers, designed to operate at pressures significantly different from atmospheric pressue, are critical for safely and efficiently storing and transporting fluids. Their structural integrity is not merely a matter of operability, but a fundamental […]
ASME PCC-2 is a post-construction code that provides comprehensive guidelines for the repair and alteration of pressure equipment and piping, covering both welded repairs and mechanical repairs. For the safety of both the system and the personnel involved in its repair and maintenance, it’s important to adhere to the guidelines laid out in the code. […]
Equipment inspections in an industrial plant are essential to ensure the safety and operability of the plant. Inspection plans should detail both the inspections to be carried out, mentioned in the previous blog article, and the frequency with which they should be carried out. Firstly, it is essential to carry out pressure vessel (PV) inspections […]
In industry, ensuring the safety, durability, and efficiency of systems is crucial, and pressure testing plays a vital role in achieving this. They are essential for verifying the structural integrity and sealing capacity of piping systems and equipment under pressure. The process involves subjecting a component or system to a pressure greater than its normal […]
