The world witnessed the pharmaceutical industry’s advance in recent years as the industry successfully developed multiple vaccines to fight the COVID-19 pandemic in less than a year. This success can be attributed to the exceptional progress of pharmaceutical research and development and technological advances in manufacturing. These technological advances can…
Vessels are used in critical industrial applications to store or process fluids at high pressure. Standard pressure vessels are designed o contain fluids at pressures greater than 15 psi. High-pressure vessels can withstand 10,000 psi and above. With the inherent risks of high-pressure environments, a pressure vessel should display the…
Manufacturers turn to pressure vessels when an application requires high-pressure storage or processing of liquids or gas. As a result, pressure vessels are used across a wide range of industries, including food and beverage, biopharmaceuticals, and oil and gas. While pressure vessels are essentially closed containers, their various applications make…
From nuclear waste storage to food and chemical processing, companies employ pressure vessels for wide-ranging applications. Since these pressure vessels accommodate high-pressure storage or fluid transfer, they must provide maximum strength. Weld joints in the vessels require special attention to ensure quality and operational continuity. To maintain optimal weld quality,…
It seems as though the older I get, the more I long for my childhood days. I especially miss those cartoons and stories that always ended with a moral lesson. Without a doubt, my favorite is the one about the tortoise and the hare—I never have figured out the difference…
Any assembly industry project must ensure the attached or bonded system can withstand contingencies that could result in detachment or breakdown. Attachment methods such as riveting or the use of threaded fasteners may adequately meet this requirement for some metal-based projects; however, for many projects—including piping and/or tubing applications that…
What is zirconiated tungsten used for? Zirconiated tungsten electrodes are generally used to weld metals whose surfaces have a higher melting point than the subsurface metals underneath. This type of tungsten is most widely used to weld aluminum using alternating current (AC). Zirconiated tungsten is also excellent at resisting contamination….
Pressure vessels have been around since the dawn of the industrial revolution. They can be used to store a higher volume of products than would be possible at normal atmospheric pressure, and since pressurization lowers boiling points, pressure vessels can also be used to process—cook—products more quickly or for a…
Those wondering how to weld pressure vessels may already know that the answer to this question varies depending on the type of pressure vessel in question. In the U.S., the relevant standard from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) defines a pressure vessel as any container with a maximum…
