What Is a Pressure Vessel? Basics of Pressurized Equipment

Introduction

Pressure vessels are containers designed to hold gases or liquids at pressures significantly different from atmospheric pressure.

They are widely used in industrial plants for processing and storage operations.

What Is a Pressure Vessel?

A pressure vessel is a closed container designed to safely hold fluids under pressure.

Because pressurized fluids store large amounts of energy, pressure vessels must follow strict engineering standards.

Common Pressure Vessel Equipment

Reactors
Heat exchangers
Air receivers
Steam drums

Design Codes

Pressure vessels are typically designed according to codes such as:

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code
JIS pressure vessel standards

Conclusion

Pressure vessels are critical equipment used in many industrial processes where fluids must be handled under pressure.
