pressure vessels
1Pressure vessel — Vertical pressure vessels installed in a structure A pressure vessel is a closed container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. The pressure differential is dangerous and many fatal… …
2Pressure relief valve — A pressure relief valve is a safety device that relieve in case of overpressure in vessel or piping. The generic term is or pressure relief Valve (PRV) or pressure safety valve (PSV).Main types of pressure relief valves include: *Relief valve… …
3pressure point — n 1) a region of the body in which the distribution of soft and skeletal parts is such that a static position (as of a part in a cast or of a bedridden person) tends to cause circulatory deficiency and necrosis due to local compression of blood… …
4Pressure swing adsorption — (PSA) is a technology used to separate some gas species from a mixture of gases under pressure according to the species molecular characteristics and affinity for an adsorbent material. It operates at near ambient temperatures and so differs from …

7Pressure Flow Hypothesis — The Pressure Flow Hypothesis, also known as the Mass Flow Hypothesis, is the best supported theory to explain the movement of food through the phloem.[1] It was proposed by Ernst Münch, a German plant physiologist in 1930.[2] A high concentration …
8National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors — The National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors is composed of chief boiler and pressure vessel inspectors representing states, cities, and provinces enforcing pressure equipment laws and regulations. Created to prevent death, injury… …
9Composite overwrapped pressure vessel — A composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV) is a vessel consisting of a thin, non structural liner wrapped with a structural fiber composite, designed to hold a fluid under pressure. The liner provides a barrier between the fluid and the… …
10Maximum allowable operating pressure — or MAOP refers to the wall strength of a pressurized cylinder such as a pipeline or storage tank and how much pressure the walls may safely hold in normal operation. The MAOP is less than the MAWP (maximum allowable working pressure). MAWP being… …
