Definition of pressure vessel according to ASME
Definition of pressure vessel according to ASME
(OP)
This is my very first post in this professional forum. Is tubular shaped pressure accumulator, sized 80mm(3.15") ID and 1.5L(0.053 cubic foot) in volume with 350bar(5075psi) pressure, considered as pressure vessel according to ASME? Reason I'm asking is that it is well below diameter of 6", but in the other hand it's storing gas and doesn't transport it anywhere (like pipe line), which should put it in the pressure vessel category. Thanks for your answers!
