SO, WHAT IS BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL STEEL?

MODERN BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL GRADES ARE MADE OF FINE GRAIN STEEL, WITH HIGH IMPACT RESISTANCE AND ARE EVEN CORROSION RESISTANT.

WHAT ARE BOILERS & PRESSURE VESSELS?BOILERS AND PRESSURE VESSELS ARE CLOSED CONTAINERS DESIGNED TO HOLD LIQUID OR GASES AT PRESSURE.

While theoretically they can be made into any shape, pressure vessels are typically made into spheres, cylinders or dome shapes. That said, most pressure vessels are cylindrical with 2:1 semi-elliptical heads or end caps on each end.

MANY FACTORS ARE CONSIDERED WHEN DESIGNING BOILERS & PRESSURE VESSELS.

These include the size and weight of the vessel and its contents, the internal and external forces, the temperatures including ambient and operational, stresses, corrosion and much more.

WHY DO BOILERS & PRESSURE VESSELS NEED SPECIFIC PLATE STEEL?
