Pressure Vessel Code

The Pressure Vessel Code is a set of technical standards developed to ensure the safe design, manufacturing, and inspection of pressure vessels—containers that hold gases or liquids under high pressure. It provides guidelines for materials, thickness, testing, and quality control to prevent failures that could cause accidents or injuries. Implemented by organizations like the ASME, this code helps engineers and manufacturers create reliable equipment, ensuring safety for workers, users, and the environment in industries such as energy, manufacturing, and chemical processing.
