Nickel Alloys, stainless steel & Titanium Vessels

Safety is essential for any pressurised vessel or pressure system, but in no sector is this more critical than nuclear power generation. Pressure vessels, drums and storage tanks in nuclear facilities operate in the most hostile environment on the planet. A pressure vessel is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. Design involves parameters such as maximum safe operating pressure and temperature, safety factor, corrosion allowance and minimum design temperature (for brittle fracture). Construction is tested using non-destructive testing, such as ultrasonic testing, radiography, and pressure tests.
