Custom fabricated fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) pressure vessels stamped in accordance with American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code have been available since 1993. These vessels are typically used in corrosive chemical processes, providing a cost effective alternative to carbon steel or other, more exotic, metal vessels.

In today’s world, it is important that people in Industry are aware of this option. It is equally important that they have a basic understanding of what goes into their design, manufacture and testing. Armed with this knowledge, individuals should be capable of making intelligent decisions concerning equipment options affecting personnel safety, risk management and equipment life cycle costs.
