A pressure vessel is a closed container designed to hold gases or liquids at pressures substantially different from ambient pressures. The pressure vessels need to keep the liquids and gases at a pressure where they can be stored properly since the outside pressure of the atmosphere might not be able to properly store the gas or liquid.

How are blood pressure and barometric pressure associated?
blood vessels constrict according to barometric pressure
What is difference between penstock and pressure shaft?
Pressure Shaft is designed to resist Internal as well as External Pressure, but the Penstock is designed to resist Internal Pressure only. - Saravanan.S
What is a pressure ventilator?
It is designed to deliver air at a set pressure
What is Angiotensin I?
It causes narrowing of the small blood vessels in tissues, resulting in an increase in blood pressure
What function do venous vessels serve?
to hold more blood when volume increases
What are the main purpose of pressure vessels?
The main purpose of a pressure vessel is to hold gases or liquids at a pressure inside a container different to the pressure outside of the pressure vessel. Usually pressure vessels are made from steel.
Pneumatic safety valves should be set to operate in excess of what psi?
It depends on the vessel or machine the safety valves are supposed to protect. If the machine is designed to produce air up to 150 psi, then the safety on the machine should be set for 150 psi. If with that same machine, there is an air tank designed to hold a maximum allowable working pressure ( A.S.M.E. Code Section VIII - unfired pressure vessels) of 125 psi, then the safety valves should be set at 125 psi. *The minimum design pressure of all pressure vessels is at least 30 psi, even when they are intended for use at less than 30 psi. Some vessels and machines are designed for pressures exceeding tens of thousands of psi.
What is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
No, systolic pressure is the highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels. Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels.
Why is there pressure in your radiator if a thermostat is good?
You should have pressure in the cooling system. The radiator cap is marked as to how much pressure it is designed to hold, usually 15 to 17 lbs.
How is infant male circumcision performed?
In circumcision of infants, the foreskin is pulled tightly into a specially designed clamp, and the foreskin pulls away from the broadened tip of the penis. Pressure from the clamp stops bleeding from blood vessels that supplied the foreskin
What is the medical term meaning highest pressure against the walls of the blood vessels?
The systolic pressure is the highest pressure measured against the walls of blood vessels.
What is the highest pressure against the blood vessels and also occurs when the ventricles contract?
The highest pressure against the blood vessels is Systolic Pressure, and it occurs when the ventricles contract.
How large ocean vessels are designed to maximize buoyancy?
Large Ocean vessels are designed to have a flat bottom and high sides so they can maximize buoyancy. You're Welcome
What blood pressure readings means?
Blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system which transports blood throughout the body.Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It means blood pressure is the speed of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.
What has the author Floyd Lundy written?
Floyd Lundy has written: 'Guide for certifying pressure vessels and systems' -- subject(s): Pressure vessels
Who designed the titanic and why?
The three Olympic-Class vessels, including Titanic, were designed By Alexander Carlisle.
How are blood pressure and barometric pressure associated?
