PECO Autoclave Filter — 4.62 cu ft ASME High-Pressure Vessel

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

This is an ASME-rated pressure vessel. ASME vessels are designed for stationary service and can be used in process systems, gas storage banks, and filtration applications at fixed facilities, but cannot be transported as DOT cylinders would be.

What is the MAWP and capacity at service pressure?

The vessel is rated for 6000 PSIG service with a capacity of 4.62 cubic feet. The listing does not specify whether this is the MAWP or a working pressure; confirm the MAWP from the nameplate data and review the design pressure relative to your application requirements.

What is the requalification or inspection status?

The listing does not provide inspection or requalification status. ASME vessels in process service typically require periodic external and internal inspections per the National Board Inspection Code or jurisdictional requirements, with intervals often set by company or insurance requirements rather than a fixed regulatory schedule.

What should I inspect before putting it into service?

Verify the nameplate is intact and legible, and review the ASME U-1 form or manufacturer's data report for design details and material certifications. Conduct visual inspection for corrosion, dents, or weld cracking, verify all pressure relief devices and fittings are appropriate for your service, and perform hydrostatic or pneumatic testing per ASME or jurisdictional requirements before pressurization.
