General Dynamics Pressure Chamber

Currently on order from General Dynamics is a 28-inch O.D. by 216-inch S/L CS pressure chamber designed to 1000 PSI @ 100 Degrees F. The test vessel will have a quick-opening tool-less hinged closure for ease of access and safety. The system is also being designed to accommodate a conveyor system.

Navel Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP)

30 replacement air flask vessels from the NAVSUP will be installed on Henry J. Kaiser class replenishment oilers serving the United States Atlantic Fleet. This class of ships is operated by MSC + provides underway replenishment of supplies, provisions + fuel for US Navy ships + aircraft aboard aircraft carriers at sea. These ships can refuel and replenish from either side of the ship + can replenish two ships simultaneously.

Syqwest & Progeny

BEPeterson has produced several test vessels for both of these companies.  They both supply sonic devices to the Navy.  The vessels have all been designed to 3000 psi.

Our Process

BEPeterson understands that the design and engineering phase is crucial for accurate outcomes. We’ve streamlined the entire process by working with you to devise a suitable solution that meets your specific defense requirements. This minimizes delays and downtime, keeps operations going and maintains high-quality levels.

1. The Design Phase

We support you during the design stage with custom solutions. Our process is efficient, ensuring compliance and functionality for practical results. We assist you with the following during the design phase:

  • Support: Our team will verify the existing design or create a new one with you.
  • Comprehensive approach: We build our systems to satisfy utility, safety and cost-effectiveness.
  • Compliance: All our vessels are designed according to code as we are a holder of the ASME single certification mark and a certificate of authorization.
  • Wide selection: Choose from our broad portfolio of military metal fabrication.

2. The Engineering Stage

During the engineering stage, we’ll start bringing your design to life using advanced technology. During this stage, you can look forward to:

  • Advanced software: We use Codeware Compress, AutoCAD, Solidworks and Solidworks Simulation (FEA) design and engineering software.
  • A dedicated engineer: Every project is assigned a specific engineer.
  • Quality control: Our team reviews all products for manufacturability and compliance before material procurement and manufacturing commences.
