Note that if you plan to use the pressure vessel at this pressure above the maximum temperature displayed here, it could lead to a catastrophic failure of the vessel. In this area of the nameplate you’ll find the pressure vessel’s maximum allowable working pressure and the maximum temperature. Pressure Vessel Maximum Allowable Working Pressure If so, one of the following identifiers will be displayed in this area of the pressure vessel nameplate. Your pressure vessel may have been post-weld heat-treated during its manufacturing phase of construction. If so, one of the following identifiers will be displayed in this area of the nameplate. Radiography Examination Identifiersĭuring the manufacturing phase of your pressure vessel, it may have had an examination of its welds with radiography testing. The identifiers for the different special services are shown below.įor example, if your pressure vessel was manufactured with welded construction and for lethal service, the identifier would be displayed as “W-L”. This identifier follows the identifiers listed above, preceded by a hyphen. If your pressure vessel is manufactured for special service use, as defined within the ASME Code, then an identifier is also displayed in this area of the nameplate.

Below is a list of the different identifiers that may be used. This area of the pressure vessel nameplate is reserved for the identifier of the type of construction that was used to manufacture your pressure vessel. We feel this is an invaluable benefit for all of our clients, so we register all of the pressure vessels we manufacture. Note that registering the pressure vessel with the National Board is not a requirement.

Once the pressure vessel passes its final inspection, the ASME Code mark is stamped onto the nameplate, proving the vessel was built in accordance with this standard. Pressure Vessel Minimum Design TemperatureĪll pressure vessels we build are manufactured in accordance with the ASME Code.Īccording to this standard, the vessel must be built with a nameplate.
