What are the hazards associated with unfired pressure vessels?

An unfired pressure vessel is a container that holds a substance at high pressure, but is not heated from an external heat supply. This might be a pressure tank, such as an air tank. These hold a great deal of mechanical energy, depending on the operating pressures. IF the tank is over pressurized, or fails due to corrosion, damage, etc, the energy contained in the pressurized contents is all released at once, tearing the tank apart, injuring people in the area, and damaging property nearby. One spectacular failure of a liquid nitrogen tank in a university lab cracked the concrete floor, blew tile off the floor in a 20 ft circle (embedding tile into the walls) and blew the tank through the upper floors of the lab into the penthouse, destroying the water pipes for the building.


What are the standards for safety valves-?

safety valve in accordance with the requirements of Article VIII of the ASME code for pressure vessel applications, which is within 10% overpressure that opens and closes in 7%.


Is an Air Compressor and an unfired pressure vessel the same thing?

A compressor increases the velocity of incoming air/gas and then converts this velocity energy into pressure energy. Using multi-stage compressor the pressure can be increased manifold. Most common compressor is the centrifugal type where air/gas is energized to high energy velocity by a rotating disc and impeller. A divergent duct then converts this high velocity air/gas into high pressure air/gas.A compressor is not a container or a vessel and as such it does not store pressurized air/gas and hence cannot be termed as a pressure vessel. However to store and utilize this high pressure air/gas, an air receiver is connected to it through pipe and valves which stores such high pressure air/gas. This air receiver is a pressure vessel.Air receiver which is a pressure vessel is subjected to periodic examination by a government certified competent person whereas compressors only need routine and preventive maintenance by inhouse engineers. The Factories Act and the Rules thereunder are very specific about this and has clearly mentioned such distinction.


Which one is dangerous hydraulic or pneumatic?

Pneumatic systems are inherently more dangerous than hydraulic systems at the same pressures. Most states have laws governing the construction of compressed air systems for just this reason. The ASME Code section 8 specifies rules for construction of air tanks (unfired pressure vessels). There are less regulations on constructing hydraulic systems. An overpressure on an air tank could result in the explosive destruction of the tank, whereas a cracked hydraulic tank would result in just a leak.

Define what is an unfired pressure vessel?

"Unfired Pressure vessel" means any closed metal container of whatever shape, intended for the storage and transport of any compressed gas which is subjected to internal pressure and includes inter connecting parts and components thereof up to the first point of connection to the connected piping and fittings, but does not include containers wherein steam or other vapour is or is intended to be generated or water or other liquid is or is intended to be heated by the application of fire or the products of combustion or by electrical means, heat exchangers, evaporators, air receivers, steam type digestors, steam type sterilizers, autoclaves, reactors, calorifiers, pressure piping components such as separators or strainers and vessels containing a liquid under a blanket of compressed inert gas. Unfired pressure vessels having capacity of 1000 Litre and above are subjected to periodic statutory examination in India. OR " Unfired Pressure Vessel is simply a Container that is not Directly in Contact with some heating Source."

What is the difference between ASME U and U1 stamps?

The ASME U stamp designates an unfired pressure vessel of more than 35 gallons (4.68 cu. ft.) has been built to ASME Code specifications, under ASME Code section 8. A U-1 form must be filed and signed by the authorized inspector for each and every pressure vessel built. The ASME U2 stamp is for unfired pressure vessels not built to ASME section 8 div. 1 standards, but under the alternative rules, has been inspected and found to comply with acceptable construction methods. A U-1 form signed by an authorized inspector must be filed for each such vessel, along with a description of the methods of construction used. The ASME U3 stamp is for high pressure (over 600 psi?) unfired pressure vessels. The ASME UM stamp is for pressure vessels less than 35 gallons capacity.

Differences between fired and unfired pressure vessels?

Fired pressure vessels are a separate category of vessels that include power boilers and other vessels that are designed to accept heat. This category of component would include coal/gas and oil fired boilers and well as boilers that are heated by a waste heat gas stream or a hot oil system. Electricly heated steam generators are also considered to be "fired" "Unfired" pressure vessels are almost everything else that is pressurized to 15 psig or higher. This would include things like pressurized tanks storing air, nitrogen, ammonia or natural gas.
