Pressure vessels are used in various industries to store liquid, gases, and vapours at high pressure. The stainless steel pressure vessels have unique specifications and require extra effort and special engineering experience. Stainless steels have many benefits and are commercially available in different grades that make them a suitable alternative to some of the more fascinating materials. Here are the various advantages of the stainless steel pressure vessel.

1. Great structural integrity: stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion than normal carbon steel. This property makes them highly durable which adds longevity to their lifespan. Stainless is also crucial in assuring that the quality of the product you are storing is not endangered. If your vessels are stored outside, stainless can also help you bypass harsh weather issues that can happen when using steel or plastic.

2. Low-temperature applications: carbon steel tends to become breakable as the temperature is reduced. They can break without warning, sometimes with catastrophic results. It is due to swelling or bulging as in some plastic failures. Therefore, alloys for low-temperature service must have suitable properties. Stainless steels maintain engineering characteristics at cryogenic temperatures and can be categorized as ‘cryogenic steels’. They are commonly used in artic locations and in the handling and storage of liquid gases like nitrogen with temperatures at -321°F.

3. Greater economic value: proper maintenance makes these stainless steel pressure vessels a cost-effective option. Corrosion is one of the prime known causes of the damage of vessels or equipment in the process industry. However, stainless steel is made of iron and a minimum of 10.5% chromium, which helps avoid the problem of corrosion. Also, stainless steel doesn’t react with gases or liquids that are stored inside the vessel. It helps decrease the chances of accidents brought by a harmful combination of metal and toxic gas or liquid.

4. Customization: every industry has different needs specific to their applications. Stainless is a material that can be bent, rolled, and shaped to fit those specific needs. Stainless steels vessels and tanks can be customized in a wide variety of lengths, diameters, and heights which gives you flexibility in design.
