NON ASME CODE PRESSURE VESSELS

Meyer Tool & Mfg. builds both ASME code compliant and non-code pressure vessels. In both cases, our strict standards for fabrication, inspection and testing, combined with a generous safety factor, make our pressure vessels extremely safe. 

Our Custom Non-Code Vessel Expertise

When you can’t risk performance in non-code projects, our more than 55 years in business and extensive expertise ensure high performance without the time and cost of code compliance.

We maintain an ASME Section VIII, Division 1, “U” stamp Certification, and our welders comply fully with the requirements of ASME Section IX. We carry a Certificate of Authorization “R” stamp from the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors for pressure vessel repair.

These are the same facilities and professional welders fabricating and testing your non-code pressure vessels for:
​
  • Precision prototypes with fast design-to-delivery.
  • Batch runs.
  • R&D that can benefit from our custom, rapid fabrication process.

Our collaborative engineering support and reduced risk process ensure faster turnaround and savings while delivering the solutions only custom fabrication can offer. ​

Do You Really Need Pressure Vessels Built to ASME Code?

In tightly regulated industries and situations where people may be at risk from volatile or dangerous substances, ASME-compliant pressure systems are usually mandatory. Code-compliant regulation does come with added costs and can add weeks to the lead time, which is why it can make sense to choose non-code pressure vessels for fast R&D, internal lab use, low-pressure applications (under 15 psig) and situations where budgets or schedules make ASME unnecessary.
​
Our reduced-risk process means we review your needs in detail to discover ways to save you money, speed up turnaround and deliver exceptional pressure vessels that perform exactly as you need them to. Our team can review your requirements and help you see how much you can save if you don't need ASME compliance. ​

Choosing the Right Material ​

At Meyer Tool, we have extensive expertise with fabricating pressure vessels for non-hazardous materials, heating system boilers, complex chemical processing and more. We have served universities, corporations and other organizations with both large and small low-pressure vessels. We can fabricate: 
  • Stainless steel pressure vessels: Stainless steel offers corrosion resistance and strength for high-demand applications. 
  • Aluminum pressure vessels: Easier to machine and lighter, aluminum is a cost-effective solution for some non-code pressure vessels. 
  • Carbon steel pressure vessels: The high tensile strength of carbon steel makes it ideal for some industrial applications. 
  • Copper pressure vessels: If you need antimicrobial properties and thermal conductivity, a copper pressure vessel may be the right selection, though you may need a liner. 
  • Exotic alloy pressure vessels: Our experience with Hastelloy, titanium and other materials allows us to fabricate pressure vessels that can meet highly specific needs, even in challenging environments.

​Rather than offering an off-the-shelf solution, we can create a customized pressure vessel engineered for your unique specs. 

The Difference in Our Custom Non-ASME Code Pressure Vessels for R&D, Batch Production and Low-Pressure Applications

Our non-ASME code pressure vessels are fabricated by the same certified welders who work on ASME-compliant projects. The materials come from the same vetted sources, and our designs incorporate a generous safety factor to meet our extremely high standards. The difference is that non-ASME pressure vessels:
​
  • Are built to purpose: Instead of building to ASME requirements, we build to your specs. 
  • Save you money: Without the inspection and documentation requirements of ASME pressure vessels, non-code batches and prototypes are less expensive to produce, especially if we work with you to select the processes and materials that can save you more.
  • May save you time: Non-code pressure vessels typically do not require the same strict material traceability and inspections by an Authorized Inspector, which can mean delivery of your pressure vessels happens sooner. Meyer Tool can further save you time by handling engineering, machining, welding, assembly and testing under one roof. With fewer handoffs, you enjoy faster delivery and better outcomes.
