MS / SS 304/316 Pressure Vessel: Pressure vessels have made their mark on the water treatment industry. From residential treatment systems to commercial systems, pressure vessels are used in water softeners, filters and RO systems. Pressure vessel size and capacity correspond to the application, although pressure vessels once installed require little maintenance, proper care must be taken at the receiving, handling and installation stages to avoid damage or failure. This article will provide an overview of some basic pressure vessel handling and installation instructions to ensure quality vessel service for many years.
Receiving
Regardless of its size, all pressure vessels surface must be well protected during shipment. Manufacturers and distributors handle pressure vessel shipments differently, and capacity plays a role as well. They can be protected by being placed horizontally on custom-size cradle skids. It is important to follow manufacturer’s instructions upon receiving. A pressure vessel with an integral fiberglass base for example, should be placed in a vertical upright position before removing its skid.
Other manufacturers deliver the vessels placed vertically and protected by custom-size cartons. These are easily removed by cutting the straps and removing the cardboard.
Basic Handling Rules
Storing. If you need to store pressure vessels prior to installation, they should be left in either their protective shipping skid, or protective carton until ready to install. Remember, do not roll or slide a pressure vessel on its side.
