Failure Investigation on Food Processing Pressure Vessel
For a major food processing company, we performed a failure investigation of a horizontally mounted low pressure process vessel. The sequential failure of several of the nuts holding the closure head caused it to blow off, seriously injuring a worker. A review of the original design showed that the vessel had not been built with …
