Common Causes of Pressure Vessel Explosions
The mechanism of pressure vessels is the way in which a vessel is designed, constructed, and maintained to safely contain fluids under pressure. It involves material selection, structural design including shell, ends, nozzles and supports, and ongoing inspection and maintenance to ensure compliance with safety standards. Understanding the mechanism of pressure vessels helps prevent failures […]
Pressure Vessel Stress: The Essential Guide for Engineers
Pressure vessel stress and how you understand it is essential for safe, compliant design and long-term performance. The key stresses, hoop, longitudinal, and radial must be accurately calculated and managed using global codes like ASME BPVC. Modern tools like Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and failure theories identify stress concentrations to avoid catastrophic failure. Materials, corrosion, and […]
