THE IMPORTANCE OF ASME VESSELS IN BOILER HEATER SAFETY

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers was founded back in 1880. Although there was no legal requirement to follow ASME standards until 1907. A spike in boiler incidents put pressure on the government to increase regulations for boiler heater

The ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is the set of codes and standards to increase the safety of boiler & pressure vessels.

The code regulates standards for the construction and design of boilers and pressure vessels. Created and maintained by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The code includes:

Materials

Rules for construction

Nondestructive examination

When something is marked as an “ASME vessel” it means it is up to the standards of the ASME BPVC.

WHY MARINE CREWS SHOULD USE FLANGED HEATERS FOR THEIR VOYAGES

Modern marine vessels are marvels of engineering and technology, requiring far less equipment and manpower than their predecessors.

Yet, providing sufficient heating to power the various components of a ship can be a challenge depending on the vessel’s purpose. That’s where flanged heaters come in. These types of heaters are among the most efficient heating devices boat crews can rely on. This post will examine why these heaters are so effective and how they work aboard various marine vessels.

4 TYPES OF PRESSURE VESSELS BASED ON INDUSTRIAL USE

Pressure vessels are integral components in many industries, as they are designed to hold liquids and gases that produce various products and solutions we consume.

Different pressure vessels accomplish different things, making it crucial for industrialists to select the right pressure vessels for their industrial applications. This post will highlight four types of pressure vessels (and their subcategories), along with their functions.

5 COMMON INDUSTRIAL USES FOR CIRCULATION HEATERS

Circulation heaters receive much praise in the industrial world for their ability to service many liquid heating applications.

Oil-based solutions encompass a wide range of products. They include hydraulic oils used in hydraulic machinery, lubricating oils, and fuel oils. These oils need to be heated at precise temperatures (and often, pressures) to reach a suitable viscosity for which the oil can be used commercially. Circulation heaters provide even heat distribution that allows these oils to ...
