A pressure vessel is a closed, rigid container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure different from the ambient pressure. The end caps fitted to the cylindrical body are called heads.

In addition to industrial compressed air receivers and domestic hot water storage tanks, other examples of pressure vessels are: diving cylinder, recompression chamber, distillation towers, autoclaves and many other vessels in mining or oil refineries and petrochemical plants, nuclear reactor vessel, habitat of a space ship, habitat of a submarine, pneumatic reservoir, hydraulic reservoir under pressure, rail vehicle airbrake reservoir, road vehicle airbrake reservoir and storage vessels for liquified gases such as ammonia, chlorine, propane, butane and LPG.

In the industrial sector, pressure vessels are designed to operate safely at a specific pressure and temperature, technically referred to as the "Design Pressure" and "Design Temperature". A vessel that is inadequately designed to handle a high pressure constitutes a very significant safety hazard. Because of that, the design and certification of pressure vessels is governed by design codes such as the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code in North America, the Pressure Equipment Directive of the EU (PED), Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS), CSA B51 in Canada, AS1210 in Australia and other international standards like Lloyd's, Germanischer Lloyd, Det Norske Veritas, Stoomwezen etc.

  • @thaitanium12 i do the same as them and many differebt types of vessels and the pay is shocking

  • 5.05 that dosent take 2 pepole to do

  • In my opinion everyone who buys reactor vessels or chemical tanks from this company should be jailed.

  • well done this video is awesome ,thanks for share it!

  • This ain't a Yankees shop--OSHA would be all over these guys. Instead of that lame ass musical score, the viewers could benefit from narration describing the prep, cutting, welding techniques, etc.

  • Highly skilled men doing a job most neccessary to society and underpaid. I appreciate it thanks.

  • Great music :0)

  • You saftey people are all the same, the bloke that worked in that section could probably spin around and put his hand on the tool he was after with his eyes shut :P

  • Nice looking product, but a cluttered and dangerous shop
