ASME Pressure Vessel Manufacturing: What to Look for in a Qualified Fabricator

Pressure vessels play an essential role in industrial manufacturing, energy production, chemical processing, and a wide range of other applications. Because these vessels are designed to operate under pressure, their fabrication requires specialized knowledge, qualified welding procedures, careful inspection, and strict adherence to applicable industry standards.

At Atlantis Equipment Corporation, we specialize in the fabrication of custom pressure vessels and industrial process equipment. With decades of manufacturing experience and extensive in-house capabilities, we provide customers with quality-built solutions for demanding industrial applications.

ASME-Certified Pressure Vessel Fabrication

When selecting a pressure vessel manufacturer, one of the most important considerations is the company's experience with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

Atlantis holds an ASME Section VIII, Division 1 "U" Certificate of Authorization, allowing us to manufacture pressure vessels in accordance with applicable code requirements.

ASME pressure vessel construction involves specific requirements for materials, design calculations, welding qualifications, inspection, testing, and documentation. Working with an experienced, qualified manufacturer helps ensure that these requirements are properly addressed throughout the manufacturing process.

Custom Pressure Vessels for Industrial Applications

Industrial pressure vessels come in many different sizes, configurations, and materials. While some applications can utilize standard equipment, others require custom fabrication to accommodate specific operating conditions, dimensional limitations, or process requirements.

Atlantis manufactures custom pressure vessels and related equipment using carbon steel, stainless steel, and other specified materials.

Our manufacturing capabilities support a variety of applications, including process vessels, storage and mixing equipment, vacuum chambers, and specialized industrial assemblies.

From individual components to large fabricated vessels, our team has the experience and equipment to accommodate complex manufacturing requirements.

In-House Fabrication and Machining Capabilities

One of the advantages of working with Atlantis is our ability to combine pressure vessel fabrication with extensive machining and metalworking capabilities.

Manufacturing pressure vessels often involves more than rolling plate and welding components together. Nozzle connections, flanges, mounting surfaces, and other critical features may require precision machining to meet dimensional and assembly requirements.

Our facility is equipped for plate rolling, forming, welding, large-capacity machining, and assembly. These integrated capabilities provide greater control over manufacturing quality, production schedules, and overall project coordination.

Quality Control and Testing

Quality assurance is a critical part of pressure vessel manufacturing. Proper material identification, qualified welding procedures, dimensional inspection, and testing help ensure that completed vessels meet applicable specifications and code requirements.

Depending on the application and governing requirements, inspection and testing may include visual examination, nondestructive examination, hydrostatic pressure testing, and leak testing.

Atlantis understands the importance of maintaining quality throughout the fabrication process, from material procurement and initial manufacturing operations through final inspection and documentation.

Experience You Can Depend On

Selecting the right pressure vessel manufacturer requires more than finding a company capable of welding a tank. Experience with code requirements, specialized fabrication techniques, quality control, and complex industrial equipment can make a significant difference in the successful completion of a project.

For nearly 50 years, Atlantis Equipment Corporation has provided custom fabrication, precision machining, and manufacturing services for customers with demanding industrial requirements.

Whether your project involves an ASME-stamped pressure vessel, a large stainless steel vacuum chamber, or custom process equipment, Atlantis offers the manufacturing experience and in-house capabilities to help meet your needs.
