Building a pressure vessel differs from an ordinary storage tank: material traceability, head thickness checks after forming, nozzle reinforcement, PWHT and a hydrotest at 1.3 times.
Steel Tank Manufacturing Steps, from Order to Delivery
The steps of building a steel tank, from the data sheet to testing and dispatch. A 20,000-litre tank takes about three weeks; here is what that time is spent on.
