NON ASME CODE PRESSURE VESSELS
Get the Pressure Vessel You Need for the Job
Any pressure vessel built by Meyer Tool & Mfg. to ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers) code will be extremely safe. This is because of a generous safety factor coupled with demanding standards for fabrication, inspection and testing. However, sometimes a pressure vessel doesn't need to be built to that standard. That's why Meyer Tool also builds non-ASME pressure vessels.
Our Pressure Vessel Expertise
“Pressure vessel” is a broad term. It could be a tank for holding a harmless liquid, a heating system boiler or an essential piece of a complex chemical processing facility. At Meyer Tool, we have experience with all of these. We've fabricated custom-designed pressure vessels large and small — from stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, copper and exotic alloys.
To build ASME code pressure vessels, we maintain an ASME Section VIII, Division 1, "U" stamp Certification. Our welders comply fully with the requirements of both ASME Section IX and the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). For pressure vessel repair, we carry a Certificate of Authorization "R" stamp from the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors.
In short, we completely understand ASME code requirements.

Fabricating Non-ASME Pressure Vessels
Does your pressure vessel need to meet ASME code? The requirements include:
If the risks or consequences of failure are high, these standards are essential. Still, what if you're handling non-hazardous materials at relatively low pressures? Why pay the price for safeguards your pressure vessel will never need?
This is why, in addition to ASME code vessels, Meyer Tool builds custom-designed non-code vessels.
Our non-code pressure vessels are still built to extremely high standards. We wouldn't put our name to them otherwise. Designs incorporate a generous safety factor, materials come from dependable sources, and the same certified welders perform the fabrication work. The difference is, we design and manufacture them to be fit for purpose, rather than to meet ASME’s demanding requirements.
In short, the fact that we build ASME code pressure vessels means you can also trust our non-ASME pressure vessels. Just be sure to use them in the right applications!
- 3.5:1 safety factor
- Welders must be Section IX certified
- Materials must be documented (in most cases this means rated to 3,000 rather than 150 pounds)
- Third part inspection
- 130% Hydrostatic test
