You rely on pressure vessels to hold elements (gases, liquids, and semi-solids) at specific pressure levels. At Keystone Tank Manufacturing LLC, we precisely build custom pressure vessels for our clients, taking extra care that no oversight occurs that could lead to explosion or leakage.

Why ASME Codes are Important When Manufacturing Custom Pressure Vessels

Engineering authorities regulate certain aspects of every custom pressure vessel created during operation, manufacture, and design. Specifically, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) regulates the production of custom pressure vessels to ensure their quality, functionality, and operational capability.

ASME has created a specific set of guidelines and rules to ensure that pressure vessels meet industry standards. If a custom pressure vessel does not comply with these standards, it cannot be used legally here in the U.S. Although ASME code dictates the performance, accuracy, and efficiency of pressure vessels, it also ensures that while pressure vessels are being produced, specific safety precautions are taken to protect workers from dangerous situations.

It is the duty of the manufacturer to follow ASME codes during custom pressure vessel production to enhance productivity and prevent loss of property. All of the custom pressure vessels we produce are built according to ASME codes, and we make sure they meet all recommended standards for safe use in many different industries.

If you have any questions about ASME codes and what they include, we would be happy to discuss these specifications with you. Contact us today to talk about your requirements for a new custom pressure vessel and find out how we will protect your interests by following ASME codes.
