pressure vessels
Pressurized storage tanks
Pressure vessels are enclosed containers designed to hold gases or liquids at pressures substantially different from the surrounding atmosphere.
They range from small aerosol cans and propane tanks to massive industrial boilers and nuclear reactor containments.
Because failure can be catastrophic—an explosion or rupture—pressure vessels are subject to strict engineering standards and regular inspection: The refinery shut down to replace aging pressure vessels.
