You may be right, there is virtually no welded seam pressure vessels in the scuba industry. Everything I've seen has been seamless with O-ring seals. I think I will continue with my design using Sched 160. I had originally thought XXS might be good, because I have to thread the tube, and it...

Thanks guys. MJ, I'm not using Sec VIII, because I am no longer working in the pressure vessel industry and don't have a copy of it. Also, this being a one off design, that isn't being used for commercial use, or being sold, I have no requirement to follow any specific code. It's for a scuba...

Hi everyone, I am looking for a quick reality check. I have some background in pressure vessel design, but we always used APV for calcs, and only worked up to 150 psi. Well I have had a friend ask me to design a one off filter unit for him, to handle 5000 psi, and was hoping to get a quick...

If you are referring to a nitrogen compressed gas cylinder, like a welding tank, then they are not governed by the ASME. They are governed by the DOT, and require hydrostatic testing every 5 years. The last hydro test date will be stamped in the shoulder of the cylinder, indicating...
