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 the method for development of dish end plate fro pressure vessels?
how to development of dish end in auto cad
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.

What are the standards for safety valves(IS Codes)?
Safety valves, other valves, liquid level gauges and other fittings for boilers and unfired pressure vessels and Safety and Relief Valves - performance test codes
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 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 a explanation for the differences in size and thickness of the different vessels?
The differences in size has to do with the function of the vessels; where they came from and where they are going.
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 blood pressure used to evaluate?
Your systole and diastole (or systolic and diastolic pressure). Systolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart pumps out blood while diastolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart is at rest(in between pumps). Blood pressure is stated as systolic pressure/diastolic pressure. The normal BP is 120/80 mmHg.
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 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.
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 are the differences between arteries and veins and why are these differences necessary?
Arteries carry blood from the heart to other parts of the body. Veins are much smaller vessels that are used to bring the blood back to the heart.
