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.

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.


What is mean metal temperature?

It is one of the conditions for pressure vessels engineering calculations according to the ASME Boilers and Pressure Vessels Code. It is calculated by getting the difference between two streams. There are other definitions for mean metal temperature, but this is the simplest.


What is the difference between a pressure vessel and a column?

Columns should be installed in vertical direction only on the other hand pressure vessels can be installed in both vertical and horizontal direction and having certain height limitations for vertical installation.

What is a b pressure welder?

This welder is certified to weld on pressure vessels. Testing is done on the weld either by X-Ray or pressure test. The root pass is inspected then the final pass is inspected during the test. If either inspection turns up a flaw, the test is over and you fail.

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 a explanation for the differences in size and thickness of the different vessels?

Arteries are thicker and have more smooth muscle to withstand high pressure and maintain blood flow. Veins are thinner and contain valves to prevent backflow of blood. Capillaries are tiny and thin-walled to facilitate gas exchange between blood and tissues.


What is the difference between Osmotic and Oncotic pressure?

Osmotic pressure is the pressure exerted by water moving across a semipermeable membrane due to differences in solute concentration. Oncotic pressure, also known as colloid osmotic pressure, is the osmotic pressure exerted by proteins in the blood plasma that helps to maintain fluid balance between the blood vessels and tissues.


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.


Differences between vasodilation and vasoconstriction?

Vasodilation is relaxation of blood vessels leading to increase in lumen size. Vasoconstriction is contraction of blood vessels leading to decrease in lumen size.


What is the pressure that forces fluid from vessels into tissures?

The pressure that forces fluid from vessels into tissues is called hydrostatic pressure. This pressure is created by the heart pumping blood through the blood vessels, causing fluid to be pushed out of the vessels and into the surrounding tissues.


What is the pressure that forces fluid from vessels into tissues?

The pressure that forces fluid from blood vessels into surrounding tissues is known as hydrostatic pressure. This pressure is generated by the fluid within the blood vessels and is influenced by factors such as blood volume and vessel diameter. It plays a crucial role in the exchange of nutrients and waste products between the blood and tissues, contributing to the overall fluid balance in the body. Additionally, osmotic pressure, which pulls fluid back into the vessels, works in conjunction with hydrostatic pressure to regulate this exchange.


Why there is oncotic pressure difference between atrtereoles and venules?

Oncotic pressure is the pressure exerted by colloid particles. As colloid particles do NOT leave the blood vessels oncotic pressure is SAME in arteriole and venules.


What are thick blood vessels?

Thick blood vessels refer to blood vessels with a relatively larger diameter and thicker walls, typically found in arteries and veins. The thickness is due to multiple layers of smooth muscle and connective tissue, which help withstand and regulate blood pressure and flow. In contrast, thinner blood vessels, like capillaries, are designed for efficient exchange of nutrients and waste between blood and surrounding tissues. Overall, the structural differences in blood vessels are crucial for their specific functions in the circulatory system.


What is differenc between the blood pressure and heartbeat?

The heart beat is the beating of the heart. Blood pressure is the amount of pressure the heart beat causes the blood to push against the blood vessels.
