From our Bridgend (South Wales, UK) facility we design and manufacture pressure vessels and pressurised columns for the petroleum, nuclear power, water and petrochemical industries, as well as a variety of shop-built carbon steel and stainless steel storage tanks and drums.
Essential Questions To Ask Before Choosing A Pressure Vessel Manufacturer
Pressure vessels must be designed and manufactured to operate safely at a specified pressure andtemperature, as the risks of poor design are significant. Pressure vessels that are unable towithstand the stresses caused by pressure and temperature extremes could fail, causing them torupture or explode. For this reason, pressure vessel manufacturers are bound by the EuropeanUnion’s…
5 Effective NDT Methods for Pressure Vessels
As pressure vessels often contain fluids and gases that are hazardous or toxic, any vessel leak or failure risks becoming a serious health and safety incident. Fortunately, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods are available to identify any damage or flaws in the vessels that could cause such an event. The development and implementation of an NDT…
HINCKLEY POINT NUCLEAR POWER PLANT UNDERWAY!
For our team of engineers at Vessco, one of the most exciting developments of the past year was our successful tender to supply pressure vessels to the Hinckley Point Nuclear Power Plant. Hinckley Point C, as the power station is formally known, is still in its early stages, although work at the site is well underway.…
HOW TO PREVENT CORROSION & EROSION IN INDUSTRIAL PRESSURE VESSELS
A pressure vessel is ideally designed to hold liquids and gases at a much higher pressure than the normal atmospheric pressure. Industrial pressure vessels can be extremely large and pose the threat of fatal accidents. Therefore, the design of pressure vessels is strongly regulated around the world, especially in high-risk industries. Corrosion can be a…
THE EFFECT OF LOCATION ON PRESSURE VESSEL DESIGN
Pressure vessels are installed in many different settings, owing to their demand in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, research, power generation, oil & gas, and storage among many others. Pressure vessels despite their robust construction, can be very sensitive to environmental factors arising from location. It is imperative that pressure vessel manufacturers and owners are aware…
