Fiba 24" ASME Packaged Vessel — 104.0 gal, 3400 PSIG

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

This vessel is ASME Code Grade L certified, which means it's a stationary storage vessel not approved for highway transport. ASME vessels are designed for fixed installation at your facility and are subject to state and local jurisdiction inspection requirements, not DOT transportation rules.

What is the MAWP and capacity at service pressure?

The vessel is rated for 3400 PSIG and has a 104.0 gallon capacity. The listing does not specify whether this capacity is water volume or at-pressure gas capacity; confirm with the seller whether the 104.0 gallons is volumetric or refers to usable gas storage at the rated pressure.

What is the requalification or inspection status?

The listing does not provide information on inspection history or current certification status. ASME vessels typically require periodic jurisdictional inspection per the National Board Inspection Code or state requirements, often every 3-5 years depending on service and local authority; request the vessel's National Board number and any inspection records from the seller.

What should I inspect before putting it into service?

Verify the ASME nameplate data matches your service requirements and confirm the vessel is certified for your intended gas (listing specifies inert gas service only). Inspect all welds, the shell for corrosion or dents, pressure relief devices for current certification dates, and verify all penetrations and connections are intact. Have your authorized inspector review the National Board papers and determine whether hydrostatic testing is required before initial startup at your facility.
