What is a pressure vessel? And what are the uses of the pressure vessel? An easy and basic question about pressure vessels. Maybe some of us understand and can understand, but sometimes we find it difficult to explain what is actually a pressure vessel.
The vessel itself is a vessel, or means a place. From the meaning of the word directly from English, the vessel itself is bermanka place. So anything in the form of a place, that’s a vessel. Like a pan, bucket, it can also be interpreted as a vessel, but not like the vessel that we mean here.
The pressure vessel itself is a place used to store fluid, whether in pressurized or non-pressurized conditions. If I translate from the language of the book, essay eugene f. Megyesy, pressure vessel is defined as a container of metal (steel) which is usually cylindrical or sperical, which can withstand certain loads.
If we see (for example passing through an oil treatment plant) and there is an object like the picture above, that is the vessel. For mechanics, especially technical people, vessels are not strange things. Especially for those of you who work in the oil and gas field, including some processing fields, you will usually use a vessel. Do not have to go far, LPG gas cylinders that are in the house, it is also a pressure vessel whose type of fluid is gas.
The next question is, what is the purpose of the vessel?
Many actually, but the most common thing and is taken from food, the vessel itself is a place. So it is just a place. Then if it’s just a place, why use it on the cover? Why not make it like a pan, sometimes we can open it?
It’s simple, even we need to cover the pan sometimes, so what? The contents inside are not dirty. It’s that simple. In the vessel itself there are also those that have a surface that is not closed, we usually call it a tank. In the tank itself, some are closed and some are not, in the sense of being tightly closed, cannot get air in and out. Another function of pressur is to separate, or better known as a separator. That is where the fluid in the form of oil, will later be separated through this vessel and divided according to the type of fluid. Maybe next time we will discuss in detail, but at least, this is the opening of what is a pressure vessel .
