Roben, Mfg, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of ASME pressure vessels, specializing in the design, fabrication, and supply of high-quality vessels that meet the stringent standards set by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). With our expertise and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, we deliver reliable and efficient ASME-certified pressure vessel solutions that meet the most demanding requirements across various industries.
What is an ASME Pressure Vessel? An ASME pressure vessel is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure, constructed and certified according to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC). These vessels ensure the safe containment and processing of fluids under high pressure or vacuum conditions while adhering to internationally recognized standards.
We also offer various surface enhancements and accessory options to meet your specific requirements, similar to those listed in the provided document.
Materials: We work with a wide range of materials to fabricate ASME pressure vessels that meet your specific requirements. Our materials include various grades of stainless steel, carbon steel, and specialty alloys approved for use in ASME pressure vessels.
We utilize advanced pressure vessel design software and follow rigorous quality control procedures to ensure compliance with ASME standards.
An ASME pressure vessel is designed, manufactured, and certified according to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC). It differs from other pressure vessels in its adherence to these internationally recognized standards, ensuring a high level of safety and quality.
ASME certification ensures that pressure vessels meet rigorous safety and quality standards. It’s often required by law in many jurisdictions and provides assurance to users about the vessel’s integrity and performance.
The main ASME code sections for pressure vessels are:
The ASME U Stamp is a certification mark indicating that a pressure vessel has been manufactured in accordance with ASME BPVC Section VIII Division 1. It’s important because it demonstrates compliance with ASME standards and is often required for regulatory approval.
Inspection frequency depends on the vessel’s application, operating conditions, and local regulations. Generally, external inspections are recommended annually, with internal inspections every 3-5 years. However, some high-stress applications may require more frequent inspections.
Yes, ASME pressure vessels can be repaired or altered, but the work must be done by an organization holding an ASME R Stamp certification. Any repairs or alterations must be performed in accordance with the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC).
Common materials include carbon steel, stainless steel (various grades), and specialty alloys like Inconel, Hastelloy, and Monel. The choice depends on factors such as operating conditions, corrosion resistance requirements, and cost considerations.
With proper maintenance and operation, ASME pressure vessels can last for decades. However, their lifespan depends on factors such as operating conditions, material selection, and maintenance practices. Regular inspections are crucial to assess the vessel’s condition and ensure safe operation.
Common safety features include pressure relief devices (e.g., safety valves, rupture disks), overpressure protection systems, pressure and temperature indicators, and emergency shutdown systems. The specific requirements depend on the vessel’s design and application.
Selecting the right ASME pressure vessel involves considering factors such as operating pressure and temperature, fluid properties, required capacity, material compatibility, and regulatory requirements. It’s recommended to consult with a qualified pressure vessel manufacturer or engineer to ensure the best selection for your specific needs.
