Pressure vessel is designed to withstand circumferential load,known as Hoope Stess, but column takes the axial load.


How boilers are classified?

A high pressure steam boiler is boiler in which steam is generated at pressure exceeding 15 psig and operates hot water boiler above 160 psig or 250o F. Application this type usually is used for utility plants, big industrial plants and process application. A high pressure steam boiler can be named as Power Boiler, in which design and construction rule following to rules of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section I - Power Boiler.

The pressure difference between the two ends of a blood vessel is the driving force behind blood flow.


How is boiler spring loaded safety valve works?

when the pressure increases over the maximum allowable working pressure of the vessel, the valve will open to protect against overpressure.


What is meaning rating of pressure vessel?

A pressure vessel is built to withstand more pressure than it will ever be subjected to in practice. Such a vessel, after its construction, will be tested to see that it can safely bear far more pressure than it needs to bear while doing its normal job. I used to play hockey with a chap who tested such vessels. We called him the "Boiler Buster".


What is difference between pneumatic test and air test in pressure vessels?

Pneumatic pressure testing of pressure vessels is done to check the leakage for any leakage where as hydraulic pressure testing is done to check the vessel for its strength.


What is the difference between motor ship and motor vessel?

There is no difference between the term "motor ship" and the term "motor vessel." The two are commonly used interchangeably.


What gauge measures both vacuum and pressure?

Gauge pressure usually refers to the pressure difference between ambient, atmospheric pressure and the pressure in a vessel or line. A gauge pressure of zero would mean that the vessel or line was at atmospheric pressure. Normally the pressures of interest are ABOVE atmospheric so the gauge pressure is positive. Vacuum gauge pressure measures how far BELOW atmospheric pressure a vessel or line is. As such vacuum gauge pressure may be measured as a negative number - or for convenience it may be reported as a positive number with the caveat that it is "vacuum gauge pressure", meaning that the reported pressure is how far atmospheric pressure is above the pressure in the vessel or line.
