Quick Opening Closure for 5000psi vessel
Quick Opening Closure for 5000psi vessel
(OP)
We are designing a vertical pressure vessel and are in need of a quick opening closure. This will act like a top removeable head. The vessel has a design pressure of 5000psi. Does anybosy know of a company that manufactures closures at this pressure? The closest that I've found is 4500psi.

You don't say so, but if your vessel is a Code vessel, there are a number of specific requirements for Q.O. closures and the means to meet them is not necessarily obvious.

Temperatures higher than o-rings will tolerate? Unless you can tolerate a lot of leakage, "quick opening" will be a matter of opinion or will come with a lot of cost and complexity.
