Abstract: Pressure vessels are closed structures containing liquids or gases under pressure. Familiar examples include fuel tanks, pipes, and pressurized cabins in aircraft and space vehicles. When ...

The study of buckling behavior and strength analysis in pressure vessels and shell structures is fundamental to ensuring the safety and operational reliability of critical engineering systems.

Properly caring for a boiler pressure vessel and its associated refractories is important to ensure the longevity and reliability of the system. In addition to routine maintenance, it is critical to ...

Chil-Con brand shell and tube condensers incorporate proprietary Chil-Flux enhanced-surface copper tubes for maximum heat transfer capability, says the company. Features of the condensers include: ...

New weld filler materials and fabrication processes are capable of eliminating toughness losses associated with fast-neutron irradiation of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) weldments in new nuclear power ...

When reviewing the pressure vessel certification tests prescribed by the applicable norms, many of the tests are significantly influenced by the prop­erties and proper processing of the epoxy matrix ...

The harmful effects of flow accelerated corrosion can be mitigated by evaluating key components, such as the deaerator and associated piping Flow accelerated corrosion (FAC), also called ...

High-pressure gas storage vessels represent one of the biggest and fastest-growing markets for advanced composites. In 2013, construction of pressure vessels of all types — metal, composite and ...
