Some more answers to your questions – FAQ
What are different types of pressure vessels?
Types of Pressure Vessels
Process tanks are designed to simply hold and store liquids.
Autoclaves and High Pressure Vessels:
Autoclaves use a combination of pressure and steam to produce or enhance chemical reactions. Examples include medical sterilization and rubber vulcanization.
High-pressure vessels offer the best corrosion, temperature and pressure resistance. They usually operate at pressure levels between 10,000 psi and 150,000 psi.
Typically, high-pressure vessels are made of stainless steel. Common high-pressure vessel roles include chemical reactors.
Heat Exchangers:
Heat exchangers are also a special type of pressure vessel. They transfer heat for applications in HVAC, chemical, power, petrochemicals and petroleum, sewage treatment and space heating. Usually, this heat transfer takes place between one solid object and one fluid, or between two or more individual liquids.
Storage Vessels:
Storage vessels are designed to store contents under pressure in such a way that you can readily access them when they’re needed. Examples of storage vessels include propane tanks, gas tanks, hot water tanks and air compressor storage tanks.
Aefab Annapurna Engineering is a leading Pressure Vessel Manufacturer with decades of experience in Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel Pressure Vessel and Heat Exchanger Manufacturing.
What are the most vulnerable areas from where a pressure vessel fails?
Generally, pressure vessel failures occur due to corrosion, poor workmanship, wrong design, & poor maintenance. Failures mostly occur at
- Circumferential joints for welded end connections
- The face of the first flange, for a bolted flange connection
- Threaded joint in threaded connections
Aefab Annapurna Engineering is a leading Pressure Vessel manufacturer based in Kolkata, India, and manufactures different kinds of pressure vessels as per customers’ requirements.
What are the NDT Techniques for pressure vessels?
NDT Techniques for Pressure Vessels
Pressure vessels store toxic and hazardous gases which increases the hazard levels to the surroundings. To minimize this risk, non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques are being used during pressure vessel manufacturing and operations.
- For the detection of surface-level defects, the following NDT techniques are used:
Visual Testing
A common NDT method is the visual testing of the vessel to find out for the defects such as corrosion or any visible physical damage.
Visual testing requires good visibility, training and perfect eyesight of the inspector. The visual testing method has easy access to the surface.
Magnetic Particle Testing
Another NDT technique that is used to detect surface-sub-surface level defects is magnetic particle testing. This technique is only for materials that are ferromagnetic in nature, such as steel.
This NDT technique is easy to carry out, portable and inexpensive. Magnetic particle testing is used for detecting cracks, which are responsible for surface breakage of the material. It’s a two-stage process. First, a magnetic current is passed through the component. If there is any crack or defect present, it will interfere with the lines of magnetic flux. After that, magnetic particles are sprayed, which collect all the surface defects. The use of fluorescent magnetic inks can also be used for more visibility of particles.
Eddy Current Testing
A coil is placed near the pressure vessel surface and an electrical current is passed through it. This electric current will induce eddy current. If there is a defect on the vessel surface, it will hinder current flow. However, if the material of the vessel is non-magnetic, eddy current testing will give a measurement that will show the depth of the defect.
Dye Penetrant Testing
A penetrant, generally a red coloured die, is sprayed on the vessel surface to detect its surface flaws. To make defects more visible under UV light, a fluorescent chemical is also added.
This test is effective in case the defects are exposed to the surface.
- For internal defects of pressure vessels, the following NDT techniques are used:
Ultrasonic Testing
Ultrasonic testing requires a good surface finish to use high-frequency sound waves to detect cracks. The ultrasonic waves are reflected on the defects (cracks, blowholes, presence of external materials) and give data on wall thickness. It requires a coupling medium such as water or gel to function. An ultrasonic probe transfers sound waves through the component to detect defects.
Radiographic Testing
Here radiations are applied to the component, and any alteration in the material can be detected and recorded on the film.
Radiography is the most popular NDT technique as it can capture defects on the film and also provides a hard copy of it.
Appropriate NDTs are part of the good manufacturing processes for Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers, Air Compressor Tanks, Agitator Vessels, Reactor Pressure Vessels, Stainless Steel Vessels and many more.
