Welcome, this site has been made for new engineers, students, working professionals and everyone else who is interested in learning about pressure vessels. The pressure vessel industry as vast as one could imagine. Pressure vessels are used widely in chemical processing, hydrocarbon processing, oil & gas, power generation, water, cryogenic, energy saving equipments and many more industries.
To begin there are many literatures available on pressure vessel design easily on the internet, this site would be an effort to simplify the vast knowledge spread around us and in doing so create a space for everyone to come together, learn and add to what is available.
Technology is taken great leaps in every segment of the industry including that of pressure vessel design, there has been a large shift for manual and spreadsheet ways of performing code calculations to software which is both fast and reliable e.g. PV Elite and Compress. Engineers today are expected to know how to use the software and interpret the reports outputs, which is only possible if the basic fundamentals are strong.
The essence is to adapt to the change and keep learning. So let’s begin.
