In industrial processes involving gases or liquids under pressure, pressure vessels play an essential role. They are used across sectors such as oil & gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, power generation, and food processing. A well-designed pressure vessel ensures safety, performance, and durability in every application.
At Times Automation, we are one of the leading pressure vessel manufacturers in India, known for engineering precision, safety, and automation excellence. Our pressure vessels are built as per international standards, offering unmatched performance for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
A pressure vessel is a closed container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. It may be used to store, process, or transport pressurized substances safely.
The vessel must be designed to handle:
High internal or external pressure
Extreme temperature variations
Corrosive and hazardous materials
Long-term fatigue and mechanical stress
Pressure vessels are typically cylindrical in shape, with either hemispherical or elliptical heads to evenly distribute stress.
pressure vessels serve various functions in industrial systems:
Storage: Holding gases like nitrogen, oxygen, or compressed air.
Reaction: Acting as reactors under pressure and temperature conditions.
Heat exchange: Functioning as boilers, evaporators, or condensers.
Transportation: Carrying compressed gases safely from one location to another.
At Times Automation, we manufacture pressure vessels suited for all these purposes — meeting the exact pressure, temperature, and volume requirements of your process.
Storage Vessels
These vessels store liquids and gases at specific pressures and temperatures.
Applications: LPG storage, chemical storage, and fuel storage.
Heat Exchangers
Used to transfer heat between fluids while keeping them separate.
Applications: Power plants, refrigeration systems, chemical industries.
Process Vessels
Used for chemical reactions, mixing, separation, and distillation under pressure.
Applications: Petrochemical and pharmaceutical sectors.
Reactor Vessels
A combination of a chemical reactor and a pressure vessel, designed for high-temperature, high-pressure reactions.
Applications: Polymerization, hydrogenation, and oxidation processes.
Boiler Drums and Autoclaves
Specialized pressure vessels used in steam generation and curing operations.
Applications: Textile, rubber, and composite material industries.
Materials Used in Pressure Vessel Manufacturing
The material of construction (MOC) is critical for pressure vessel performance. At Times Automation, materials are selected based on pressure, temperature, and corrosion conditions.
Common Materials:
Carbon Steel: Economical and widely used for general applications.
Stainless Steel (SS 304, SS 316): Corrosion-resistant, ideal for food and chemical processing.
Alloy Steel: For high-temperature or high-pressure operations.
Hastelloy, Titanium, Inconel: For highly corrosive or specialized applications.
All vessels are fabricated and tested according to IBR Section VIII and IS standards for pressure equipment.
To ensure safety and compliance, every pressure vessel must adhere to international design codes.
Times Automation follows these globally recognized standards:
IBR Section VIII Division 1 & 2 (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)
IS 2825 (Indian Standard for Unfired Pressure Vessels)
PED (Pressure Equipment Directive) for European compliance
API 650 / API 620 for storage tanks
TEMA Standards for heat exchangers
We use advanced design software to simulate stress, temperature distribution, and fatigue life before fabrication.
Pressure Rating: Internal and external pressure limits are calculated precisely.
Temperature Range: Material expansion and contraction under temperature are analyzed.
Corrosion Allowance: Extra thickness is added for corrosive fluids.
Joint Efficiency: Welds are designed for strength and reliability.
Safety Margins: Built to handle extreme operating conditions safely.
Each Times Automation pressure vessel undergoes rigorous inspection and hydro testing before dispatch.
Our manufacturing process combines advanced engineering with strict quality control:
Design & Simulation: 3D modeling and stress analysis using CAD software.
Material Selection & Cutting: Certified plates are cut with CNC machines.
Rolling & Welding: Shells and heads are rolled and joined using qualified welding procedures.
Heat Treatment: Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) ensures stress relief.
NDT & Inspection: Ultrasonic, radiographic, and dye penetration tests for weld integrity.
Hydrostatic & Pneumatic Testing: Ensures no leaks or deformation under pressure.
Surface Finishing & Painting: Corrosion-resistant coatings enhance longevity.
Each vessel is certified by authorized inspection agencies (like IBR or third-party inspectors).
Pressure vessels are integral to several industrial sectors:
Oil & Gas Industry: For gas storage, separation, and refining.
Chemical Industry: For reaction, distillation, and synthesis under pressure.
Pharmaceutical Industry: For sterile storage and pressure reactions.
Power Plants: For steam generation and condensate recovery.
Food & Beverage: For carbonation, fermentation, and sterilization.
Water Treatment Plants: For filtration and purification under pressure.
Each application requires specialized design, and Times Automation delivers custom-built pressure vessels tailored to your process.
