We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pressure Vessels",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Custom skid installed for medical application from
Richard Alan Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "A partnership of the Richard Alan Group and process design specialist, Manrochem, has designed, manufactured and installed a bespoke skid for a UK medical device manufacturer in just
4-weeks".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Stainless steel fabrication meets strict specs from
Axium Process: "Axium Process was recently commissioned by Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service to manufacture a stainless steel pressure vessel to a very strict specification".
In April 2006, we covered the news from Phoenix Inspection Systems
concerning its AR 5000
- take a look at Sonic device helps process plant maker
which says: "German manufacturer of process plants is using a device that employs sonic waves to test for defects and blockages in pipes".
Take a look also at the news release from Ansys, Nuclear firm extends simulation agreement,
as well as New specification for pressure vessels from BSI British Standards,
and PD 5500:2006 published for welded pressure vessels from BSI British Standards.
