For our team of engineers at Vessco, one of the most exciting developments of the past year was our successful tender to supply pressure vessels to the Hinckley Point Nuclear Power Plant. Hinckley Point C, as the power station is formally known, is still in its early stages, although work at the site is well underway.…

A pressure vessel is ideally designed to hold liquids and gases at a much higher pressure than the normal atmospheric pressure. Industrial pressure vessels can be extremely large and pose the threat of fatal accidents. Therefore, the design of pressure vessels is strongly regulated around the world, especially in high-risk industries. Corrosion can be a…

Pressure vessels are installed in many different settings, owing to their demand in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, research, power generation, oil & gas, and storage among many others. Pressure vessels despite their robust construction, can be very sensitive to environmental factors arising from location. It is imperative that pressure vessel manufacturers and owners are aware…
