LANL utilizes spherical vessels for numerous basic science, materials, and system performance experiments. These pressure vessels are designed and fabricated to meet the intent of ASME B&PV Section VIII, Division 3 and Code Case 2564. LANL has successfully contracted vessel construction in the past, utilizing HSLA-100 steel. As current vessel inventories approach design life, we are once again embarking upon a series of fabrication contracts to produce replacement components and vessel assemblies to support continued experiment cadence at LANL. LANL’s intent is to ramp up a continuous vessel supply chain for the DOE Complex.
