VeraciousTech Stainless Steel Pressure Vessels

Corrosion Resistance:

• Stainless steel has excellent resistance to corrosion, especially against water, air, acids, alkalis, and other chemicals, making it ideal for applications where the vessel will be exposed to harsh or corrosive substances.

High Strength:

• Stainless steel pressure vessels can withstand high internal pressures and temperature fluctuations without compromising structural integrity.

Temperature Tolerance:

• Stainless steel retains its mechanical properties at both low and high temperatures, making it suitable for applications ranging from cryogenic storage to high-temperature chemical processing.

Durability and Low Maintenance:

• Stainless steel is highly durable and requires minimal maintenance over its lifespan due to its natural resistance to corrosion and wear.

304 Stainless Steel:

• Most common grade used for pressure vessels.
• Provides good corrosion resistance, especially in mild environmental conditions.
• Applications: General-purpose vessels used in water, food processing, and some chemical applications.

316 Stainless Steel:

• Superior corrosion resistance compared to 304, especially in chloride or saltwater environments.
• Molybdenum added to the alloy increases resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.
• Applications: Ideal for more aggressive environments, such as chemical plants, marine applications, and pharmaceuticals.

304L/316L Stainless Steel (Low Carbon Versions):

• Lower carbon content to prevent sensitization and intergranular corrosion during welding or high-temperature exposure.
• Applications: Commonly used in pressure vessels that require welding or are exposed to extreme environments over extended periods.

321 and 347 Stainless Steel:

• Stabilized stainless steels with the addition of titanium (321) or niobium (347) to improve resistance to high-temperature corrosion and creep.
• Applications: Used for pressure vessels in high-temperature applications, such as chemical processing and oil refineries.

Design:

• Stainless steel pressure vessels are often designed to meet ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) standards to ensure safety, performance, and durability.
• These vessels are available in various shapes (cylindrical, spherical) and configurations (vertical, horizontal) to suit different operational requirements.

Applications:

• Food and Beverage: Used in breweries, dairies, and other food production facilities where hygiene and corrosion resistance are critical.
• Pharmaceuticals: For the safe storage and processing of sensitive chemicals and liquids in highly sanitized conditions.
• Chemical and Petrochemical: Used in chemical plants to store and process corrosive liquids and gases.
• Water Treatment: Storage of potable water or wastewater, where corrosion resistance and cleanliness are important.
