Fiba 24" ASME N.B. — 62.5 Gal, 5500 PSIG Packaged Vessel

Is this ASME or DOT rated, and what does that allow me to do with it?

This is an ASME Code Section VIII Division 1 vessel with National Board registration. ASME vessels are designed for stationary installation at fixed facilities and cannot be transported filled over public roads, which requires DOT certification. This unit is appropriate for on-site gas storage, buffer capacity, or process applications where the vessel remains at your plant.

What is the MAWP and capacity at service pressure?

The listing states a 5500 PSIG working pressure rating with 62.5 gallon capacity. MAWP is typically stamped on the vessel nameplate and may differ from working pressure; ask the seller for the exact MAWP and design pressure from the data report if critical to your application.

What is the requalification or inspection status?

The unit is listed as new (Grade J condition) from 2005, but the listing does not provide current inspection or hydrostatic test dates. ASME stationary vessels require periodic inspection per your jurisdiction and insurance carrier requirements, typically at intervals determined by risk assessment. Request the National Board Form U-1 data report and any inspection history since manufacture.

What should I inspect before putting it into service?

Verify the National Board stamp and data plate are legible and match your application requirements. Inspect all pressure relief devices for current certification dates, check pipe connections and valve packings for completeness, and examine the exterior coating for storage damage. Because this vessel sat unused since 2005, perform a hydrostatic test and internal inspection per ASME PCC-2 or your facility standards before pressurizing, and confirm all relief valves are within their test interval.
