Industrial Applications of Pressure Vessels
• Chemical industry• Cosmetics processing• Food and beverage industry • Oil / fuel industry• Paper and pulp industry• Pharmaceutical and plastic processing• Power generation
• Welding• Compressed Natural Gas (CNG ) Cars• Scuba• Search and Rescue (SAR)
Other Applications of Pressure Vessels
Types of Pressure Vessel
• By geometry and size:– Spherical Pressure Vessel– Cylindrical Pressure Vessel– Other shapes
Types of Gas Cylinders:
• By material:– Fully metal Gas Cylinders– Hoop Wrapped Gas Cylinders– Fully wrapped Gas Cylinders– All-composite Gas Cylinders
Types of Gas Cylinders:
• By pressure:
– Low pressure P<20 [bar] – Middle pressure 20<P<65 [bar]– High pressure P>65 [bar]
1 [bar] = 0.9869 [atm]
