Pressure Vessel Fabrication

The Paola facility, with strengths in heavy wall and special design vessels, is qualified to design and fabricate vessels under ASME Code Section I and Section VIII Divisions 1 and 2. ASME stamps include S, U, U2, R, NA and NPT.

Our Greeley plant is more suited to lighter wall vessels and pipe type vessels. Greeley stamps include S, U, U2 and PP.

The strip overlay process is used on heavy wall
vessels like reactors, requiring alloy internal surfaces. The strip overlay method is a submerged arc process, resulting in controlled chemistry and a high
integrity bond.

Long seams, girth seams, and nozzle welds (shown here) are done by any one of the following procedures: SAW, SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, FCAW. All Taylor Forge welders are ASME Code Section IX qualified.

After the plate is formed into cylinders, many welding processes are used to fabricate the rest of the vessel. Here a submerged arc procedure is used for a longitudinal seam.
