  2. Pressure vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_vessel

    The ASME definition of a pressure vessel is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. [2]The Australian and New Zealand standard "AS/NZS 1200:2000 Pressure equipment" defines a pressure vessel as a vessel subject to internal or external pressure, including connected components and accessories up to the connection to external ...

  3. Bridgman seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgman_seal

    The top is outside the pressure vessel; the bottom is inside. The topmost cylinder is the drive piston; it has an external force applied to it to pressurize the vessel.The six squares are cross-sections through three rings; the topmost (dark gray) one is a hard material, the middle one a softer one, and the bottom one a much softer one.

  4. EN 13445 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EN_13445

    EN 13445 was introduced in 2002 as a replacement for national pressure vessel design and construction codes and standards in the European Union and is harmonized [1] with the Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU or "PED"). New updated versions of all parts were published between 2009 and 2012.

  5. Head (vessel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_(Vessel)

    Vessel dished ends are mostly used in storage or pressure vessels in industry. These ends, which in upright vessels are the bottom and the top, use less space than a hemisphere (which is the ideal form for pressure containments) while requiring only a slightly thicker wall.

  6. Blowdown stack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowdown_stack

    Blowdown is the controlled removal, safe flow and disposal of vapour from a pressure vessel. [1] Blowdown, or depressurisation, removes hazardous inventory from a vessel, reduces the pressure in the vessel and thereby reduces the stresses in the vessel walls. Blowdown is used prior to draining of a vessel for maintenance.

  7. Pigging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigging

    opening of the closure door while the vessel is still pressurized; opening of the main process valve while the closure door is not fully closed; opening of the closure door while a high concentration of H₂S or other toxins remains inside the vessel; the vent valve remaining open while the vessel is being pressurized with its medium.

  8. Diving chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_chamber

    A sealable diving chamber, closed bell or dry bell is a pressure vessel with hatches large enough for people to enter and exit, and a compressed breathing gas supply which may be used to raise the internal pressure. Such chambers provide a supply of breathing gas for the user, and are usually called hyperbaric chambers, whether used underwater ...

  9. Shutdown valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_valve

    A blowdown valve (BDV) is a type of shutdown valve designed to depressurize a pressure vessel by directing vapour to a flare, vent or blowdown stack in an emergency. BDVs fail-safe to the open position upon failure of the control system. [1] The type of valve, type of actuation and performance measurement are similar to an ESD valve.
