Advantage of the forged shell pressure vessel

Main contents start here
FORGED SHELLS have always been one of the main products of JSW.

Advantages of Forged Shell Construction

The combination of high quality forgings and less welded joint construction, the best manufacturing process for high duty pressure vessels with a large diameter and heavy thick wall, offers the following significant advantages:
Elimination of longitudinal seam(s) subjected to the highest stress due to internal pressure resulting in higher integrity of the vessel.
  Homogeneous and better properties (mechanical and metallurgical) throughout the heavy wall thickness compared with plates from ordinary rolling process.
  Higher dimensional accuracy of the vessel (i.e. inside diameter, wall thickness, and weld edge alignment), improving efficiency in fabrication, safety and reliability of the vessel.
  Reduction of the fabrication period and extent of ln-Service lnspections (ISl) due to shorter weld seams.
