ASME Pressure Vessels

• THIELMANN Pressure Vessels hold the ASME "U" or "UM" Code, as defined in Section VIII, Division 1.
• The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is a standard that provides rules for the design, fabrication, and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels. A pressure component designed and fabricated in accordance with this standard will have a long, useful service life that ensures the protection of human life and property.
• Based on ASME's Section VIII, Division 1, there are distinct designations for pressure vessels which indicate that larger vessels should receive the U stamp, while smaller or miniature vessels should receive the UM stamp. However, this is not the only difference between the two. UM designated pressure vessels are not required to undergo the same inspection regimen as the larger, U-stamped pressure vessels.
• By adhering to these codes, it means that THIELMANN is fully aware and compliant with the rules governing the design, fabrication, assembly, and inspection of pressure vessel components during construction.
• THIELMANN vessels operate in a wide variety of environments and processes, therefore as a business which prides itself on safety, it was crucial to be certified to these very high standards.

QUALITY AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL ARE OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE

• As a company which prides itself on expertise and innovation, another crucial ASME standard for THIELMANN is continuous improvement. This fundamental standard is achieved by investing in staff training and education, and also reflects the culture as a whole within the business.
• In relation to quality, THIELMANN has a dedicated quality control department, whose objective is to ensure precision and accuracy at all times. This standard is achieved through regular quality tests and is also scrutinized by the ASME organization through their own conduction of periodic inspections.
