Inspection of Pressure Vessels
4.1 DESCRIPTION
A pressure vessel is a container designed to withstand
internal or external pressure. The pressure vessels may
have been constructed in accordance with the ASME Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, other recognized
pressure vessel codes, or as approved by the jurisdiction.
These vessels typically are subject to an external or internal
operating pres sure greater than 15 lbf/in.2 (103 kPa).
External pressure on a vessel can be caused by an internal
vacuum or by fluid pressure between an outer jacket and the
vessel wall.
