Categories of Pressure Vessel

 By the container's role in the production category:

Reaction pressure vessel (code R): for the completion of the physical media,chemical reactions.
Heat exchanger pressure vessel (code E): for the completion of the heat exchangemedium.
Separate pressure vessel (code S): used to complete the balance of the buffer fluid pressure medium and the separation of gas purification.
Storage pressure vessel (code C, where spherical code B): used to store, dressed up gas, liquids, liquefied gases and other media.

In a pressure vessel, such as two or more processes simultaneously with the action principle, the process should be to divide the main role in the species.


According to installation Category:

Fixed pressure vessels: a fixed location to install and use, process conditions andoperating personnel are more constant pressure vessels.
Mobile Pressure Vessels: Use only under internal pressure or external pressureloading, handling process will be due to internal media impact caused by shaking,and transportation to bring the external shock and vibration loads, and therefore in the structure, use and safety side has its special requirements.
