Silivan 340-Gallon Vertical Process Tank — 36 PSIG

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

This is an ASME-coded vessel with Board #199768. ASME certification allows it to be used as a stationary pressure vessel for process applications at the rated 36 PSIG, though local jurisdiction and your application will determine what inspections or re-stamping may be required after relocation.

What is the MAWP and capacity at service pressure?

The listing states a 36 PSIG pressure rating and 340-gallon capacity. ASME vessels typically have MAWP stamped on the nameplate along with design temperature and corrosion allowance—request photos of the nameplate and U-1 manufacturer's data report to confirm the full design parameters.

What should I inspect before putting it into service?

Verify the nameplate and stamping are legible, check for external corrosion or mechanical damage, and inspect all nozzles and connection points for thread condition or flange face damage. For a 1996 vessel, internal inspection is essential to assess corrosion, pitting, or service-related deposits—wall thickness measurements at documented CML points will determine remaining service life and whether the vessel meets your process requirements.
