Air vessel(also called air storage tank, buffer tank, etc.) is a common pressure vessel used to store gas, it is one of the our hot sale pressure vessel products. Depending on customer requirements, STRENGTH can produce ASME, CE(PED), GB150 (Chinese standard) high pressure, atmospheric pressure or low pressure air storage tanks.
In the end of October 2022, we received an inquiry from America. The customer wanted to purchase air vessel to petroleum special equipment. In addition, customer provided specific parameters, volume 1m3, working pressure 1MPa, the air inlet is NPT 1-1/2″ and the air outlet requires 1 NPT 1-1/2″, 3 NPT 1-1/2’’ and 2 NPT 1/2″. We design according to the customer’s requirements, the diameter is 800mm, the height of the shell is 1700mmm, the air vessel according to ASME standard with U stamp and MDR, paint is epoxy anticorrosive, and need to be equipped with safety valve and pressure gauge.
Regarding the size of air vessel, according to the customer’s requirement, the diameter was changed to 1000mm and the height of the shell was changed to 890mm, and need to be equipped with safety valve, pressure gauge(pressure gauge dial English PSI and MPa double display, accuracy 1.6, range 0-1.6MPa) and drain valve. Nozzle size changed to 2 NPT 1-1/2″, air outlet needs 2 NPT 1-1/2″, 4 NPT 1″ and 2 NPT 1/2″, it also include pressure gauge port, safety valve port and drain valve port.
