Custom Conical Pressure Vessel Fabricators
At BEPeterson, we specialize in the engineering and fabrication of custom conical pressure vessels designed for precision, performance and durability.
Since 1935, BEPeterson has built a reputation for delivering high-quality, technically advanced vessels that meet complex requirements across multiple industries, from defense and power generation to chemical processing and industrial manufacturing.
Each conical vessel is engineered to your exact specifications, combining decades of fabrication experience with modern technology, superior materials and strict quality control. We don’t offer standard catalog items — every project is a custom-built solution designed to achieve your operational and engineering goals.
Conical Pressure Vessel Design
The conical pressure vessel design is ideal for processes that require the controlled collection or discharge of materials, such as solids, liquids or gases under pressure. Their unique geometry offers advantages in flow efficiency, drainage and material separation, making them suitable for a range of applications.
At BEPeterson, every vessel begins with a deep understanding of your process parameters — including temperature, design pressure, flow rates and material compatibility. Our engineering team uses advanced CAD modeling and ASME code calculations to design conical head pressure vessels and conical end pressure vessels that optimize performance while maintaining structural integrity.
Conical Pressure Vessel Engineering
Each project at BEPeterson is managed by a dedicated project engineer who oversees your vessel from concept to completion. Our capabilities include:
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for stress evaluation and material optimization.
- Thermal and structural analysis to ensure long-term reliability under varying conditions.
- Design flexibility to accommodate specific vessel orientations, supports and nozzle configurations.
- Detailed documentation and full traceability for all materials and weld procedures.
Our in-house team integrates design, fabrication and testing under one roof — allowing for seamless communication, faster turnaround and consistent quality across every phase of production.
Regulatory Compliance and Standards
BEPeterson holds multiple certifications that reflect our commitment to quality and compliance:
- ASME, U, UM and R Stamps
- ISO 9001:2015 Certified
- TUV, NSF and CRN Certifications
For clients in industries such as defense, where security and precision are paramount, BEPeterson also meets JCP and NIST requirements — standards that many vendors cannot satisfy. Every conical pressure vessel is manufactured to meet or exceed these rigorous codes, so that your equipment is built to perform efficiently and reliably in demanding environments.
