Vessel Construction
Forming Steel
ASME Code Heads
The fabrication process begins
with the rolling of steel that meets
ASTM specifications. Steel plates
ASME Code heads are used
when a vessel is required to
be fabricated to the ASME Code.
ASME vessels incorporate the
ASME 2:1 semi-elliptical head
as standard design, making
them more resistant to
internal pressures.
froml/qto 1% inch are rolled to
form the rigid shell. Steel Plates
are formed, fitted, and welded
creating a vessel of superior
strength. Throughout the
manufacturing process ri gorous
testing and documentation
procedures ensures comPliance
with the most stringent of
industry standards.
ASME flanged and dished
heads can also be used but
require thicknesses greater
than elliptical heads for the
same oressure and diameter.
Few names in the field of ASME Pressure Vesse/ manufacturing are
as widely respected as Highland Tank. Highly qualified craftsmen,
skilled in carbon steel and starnless steel fabrication, take pride in
their work - every weld, grind, and polish is flawless. An authorized inspection agency monitors all facets of production, so you
know the job is done right the first time, every time.

ASME Testing and Inspection
Certified welders must be qualiied to strict welding procedures
in accordance with ASME Code,
Section lX. Their procedures are
continually monitored and certif ications maintained.
Fittings in various sizes and styles
(NPT and flange) enable connection
to external piping systems and appurtenances. All carbon steel ANSI
Various conventional and advanced nondestructive examination methods are used for the
inspection of pressure vessels by
certified inspectors. Visual or
Surface Examination detects any
discontinuities and defects that
are open to the surface or are
very near the surface. In contrast,
Spot to 100% Radiography or
Volumetric Examination can
detect conditions that are located
within the weld or the steel.

ASME Code requires f ull penetravessel joints
and seams. With several approved
tion butt welds on all
welding methods, Highland employs the one that achieves this
requirement with the best results
for each particular vessel. In addition, the efficiency of a joint is
based on the type of weld and
the degree of radiography used.
flanges are rated based on their
class and temperature; A class 150
(150#) flange is rated for 285 psi at
100 't but only 170 psi at 500 "F.
Full-fillet welds are used to attach
fittings, flanges, and nozzles to
vessel shells and heads.

linings require either a minimum

ln addition, 16" , 20", and 24"

ASME pressure vessels are tested
1.3 times the working pressure
as stipulated under Section Vlll
of the ASME Code. Additionally,
each vessel is filled two-thirds full
to
of water and tested at the normal
working pressure with all valves
closed, and shall not lose more
than one-half pound pressure in
24 hours. A manufacturing certificate is filed with the inspection
department having jurisdiction
that certifies that the foregoing
tests have been made.

Chilled Water Tanks
Applications
Chilled Water Tanks (CWT) are
used in conjunction with large
HVAC installations, resulting in
fewer cycles of the compressor
and better temperature control
overall. The chilled water is used
to cool and dehumidify air in
sizable commercial, industrial,
and institutional facilities.
At high-tech data centers, chilled
water storage tanks are required
for uninterrupted cooling of
computer systems and associated
components, such as telecommuni-

cations and storage systems.
A properly sized CWT adds the
necessary volume to "buffer" the
cooling system and allows it to
operate at peak efficiency. When
applied to contemporary chilled
thermal storage technology, CWT
allow the user to time shift the
electrical load of the system from
the peak day periods to off peak
night time periods.

Hydropneumatic Tanks
Hydropneumatic Tanks (HPT)
are ASME vessels that contain
both water and air under oressure. The compressed air acts as
a cushion that can exert or absorb pressure as required. A
small air compressor may be
used to replenish the air volume
periodically as it is absorbed
into the water.
Large hydropneumatic tanks are
usually horizontal and with volumes of 2,000 gallons or more.
Normal operating pressure for
a water system is 60 to 75 psi.,
therefore common design pressure for a hydropneumatic tank
is 100 psi.
provide an adequate
"quick demand" water supply
and help regulate proper system pressure range, both necessary for the efficient operation
of a water supply system.
HPT
They are used in large capacity
pumping systems as "buffer
tanks" to control surges caused
by pump start-ups and shutdowns
and absorb water hammer shocks
due to rapid valve actuations
eliminating catastrophic failure
of pipeline, pumps, valves, and
system control loss. Other common applications are in well
water systems and fire
protection systems.
HPT are lined with epoxy or
polyurethane potable water
linings. They are often located
aboveground or underground,
with one head protruding into a
vault or basement and all of the
fittings are located on that
head. Vessels located underground are furnished with advanced corrosion protection
systems utilizing a dielectric
coating and optional cathodic
protection system.

Highland Tank's accessory line
is
designed to augment our wide
selection of ASME Pressure Vessels
and Water Storage Tanks, making
it easy to quickly and efficiently
turn any of our vessels and tanks
into a complete operating system.
Take the guesswork out of your
installation with the use of one
of our comprehensive master
installation kits.
1. Hold-Down Straps - Designed
to secure vessels or tanks in areas
where high water levels may result
in flotation. Hold-Down Straps are
available in four different designs
to accommodate specific installation requirements: Standard Steel,
Safety, Dead-Men, and Polyester.
(See pp. 52-55 for details).
2. Concrete Deadmen Anchors -
Deadmen help anchor underground vessels or tanks in installations in which there is potential
for high water. They are used with
our standard underground storage
tanks from 500 to 50,000 gallons.
(See p. 53 for details).
3. Tank Support Systems -
to
keep
tank,
support the vessel or
it stationary, and elevate that tank
to minimize corrosion concerns
and allow for easy visual inspection. Tank Support Systems are
available in multiple designs to
accommodate specific installation
requirements: UL Saddles,
Supports, Skids, Legs, and Bases.
(See pp. 56-60 for details).
These systems are designed
4. Insulation Systems - Selection
includes external batt with metal
jacket, external spray-on insula-
tion, or injected insulation.
(See p, 61 for details).
5. Ladders, Stairs, Platforms, and
Walkways - Internal and external
ladders, stairs, platforms, and
walkways are designed to comPly
with strict OSHA specifications.
Mounting brackets and other
structural accommodations can
be factory-fitted to facilitate
field installation.
(See pp. 62-63for details).
6. ASME or Standard Manways,
Extensions, and Tank-Top Sumps with
Double Ring Manways - Manways
provide access to the tank. Standard
manways include a bolted cover and
gasket. The cover provides a convenient location for fittings. Extensions
and Tank-Top Sumps with Double
Ring Manways are project specific.
(See p.
64for details).
7. Grade Level Manways (GLM) Designed to AASHTO H20 require-
ments. Each manway is constructed
of 436 steel plate from 10 ga. to
1/4" thick, with lids of 3/8" reinforced checkered steel plate. Round
GLMs are available in sizes ranging
from 12" to 48" diameter. Rectangular GLMs are available in widths
from 48" to72" and lengths
from 48" to 150".
(See p. 65 for details).
8. Electric, Steam, or Hot Water
Thermal Fluid HeatersThese provide temperature control
for heat sensitive fluids.
9. Complete Pump System Packages -
These packages can be either
platform or tank mounted.
10. Overfill Containment Chamber Overf i | | protection conta i nment
chambers with or without locking
lids are available. A small hand pump
is also available for returning any
spilled product to the tank.
11. Alarm and Control Panels -
These provide a comprehensive
panel selection for leak and
level alarm.
12. Leak and Level Sensors Leaks are prevented by a wide
variety of sensors used to detect
leaks or liquid levels.
