PED PRESSURE VESSELS

PED Pressure Vessels

BEPeterson is a PED pressure vessel manufacturer. We build PED pressure equipment according to the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), which is similar to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

Both the PED and ASME provide requirements for certain pressure vessels and equipment. The major difference is that PED compliance is mandatory within the European Union (EU) as a directive (European law). PED is required for pressure-retaining equipment and components being sent to the EU. The PED applies to equipment with pressures above 0.5 bar (approximately 7.25 psi at sea level).

PED Pressure Vessel Manufacturer

BEPeterson can build your PED pressure vessel in the United States and ship it to any country in the European Union with PED certification compliance. We are ISO 9001:2015 certified, further ensuring the quality of our products. We supply all PED vessels with full documentation, including material test reports (MTRs), hydrotest reports, Radiographic Testing (RT) or X-ray results, and full dimensional reports. BEPeterson is also certified for ASME and TUV.

Recently, BEPeterson announced the shipment of a PED Pressure Vessel for Ener-Core. The PED Pressure Vessel is the Thermal Oxidizer, a key component of the Ener-Core Powerstation FP250. This system integrates the Gradual Oxidizer technology with gas turbine technology, offering both pollution control and electricity generation where previously impossible. This PED pressure vessel had a size of 60″ OD x 18.91′ OAL. The material of construction was SA-516-70. The Thermal Oxidizer pressure vessel was designed to 55 PSI @ 400 Deg F.

Custom PED Pressure Vessels

BEPeterson is a global leader in PED vessel fabrication. We follow European standards and PED requirements for pressure vessel design and construction.

High-Quality Design

Gases and liquids can be volatile under certain pressures and temperatures. Pressure vessels are crucial for the safety of the people handling the storage and transport of these important industrial materials. At BEPeterson, we design our pressure vessels in accordance with ASME, CRN and PED code pressure vessel standards to ensure the quality and safety of our products.

Effective Engineering

Our engineering experts have decades of professional experience designing and fabricating various industrial equipment and components. You can count on us to build a PED vessel that meets your requirements.

Every project gets a dedicated project engineer who works closely with the customer, creating new designs or updating existing ones as needed. The project engineer reviews all required codes, compliance and Design for Manufacturability elements, verifying that all documentation is ready before material procurement and manufacturing.

Meeting PED Requirements

BEPeterson takes pride in holding a certificate of authorization and the ASME single certification mark of quality and safety. International regulatory boards also recognize us for our CRN- and PED-compliant pressure vessels. We design and manufacture pressure vessels according to the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code.

In addition to code compliance, we conduct meticulous safety inspections for every pressure vessel project. These include ferrite testing, impact testing and helium leak testing.
