High quality pressure vessels
The metal spun parts we create for use in pressure vessels come in a massive range of sizes, from 46mm – 1573mm. Our capabilities incorporate a variety of metal spinning techniques to create the shape needed. We then offer the option to treat the workpiece with finishing processes to instil further properties that are beneficial to the vessels intended application.
To create pressure vessels that withstand high pressure internal forces, Tanfield Metal Spinners makes sure our forming process doesn’t compromise the integrity of the materials used. As with all our metal spinning services, we adhere to ISO 9001 standards. This framework enables us to deliver pressure vessel products that are consistent, reliable, and meet customer expectations.
Applications of pressure vessels
Designed to store liquids and gases at varying pressures, pressure vessels see many different applications. This includes:
- Heat exchangers
- Reactors
- Flash drums
- Distillation towers
- Separators.
Pressure vessel fabrication is a service that’s essential for many industries with a focus on processing. Tanfield can provide expertly spun pressure vessels for the safety, chemical, petrochemical and food production sectors. In providing this service, we check any regulations that apply to your industry to ensure the parts fulfil their intended function.
Tanfield has the capabilities necessary to perform and make adjustments in our metal spinning process to accommodate a wide range of materials including:
Top things we get asked
A metal spun pressure vessel is a component formed using metal spinning techniques to create seamless or near-seamless parts capable of safely containing liquids or gases under pressure.
Metal spinning produces uniform wall thickness, excellent structural integrity, and smooth surfaces, making it ideal for pressure vessels that must withstand internal or external pressure without failure.
Tanfield can produce metal spun pressure vessel components ranging from 46mm up to 1573mm in diameter, depending on material and application requirements.
Our pressure vessels are used across the chemical, petrochemical, food production, safety, and processing industries, as well as other sectors requiring controlled pressure containment.
We work with a wide range of materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, duplex steels, and high-performance alloys such as Inconel and Hastelloy.
Our metal spinning process is carefully controlled to avoid compromising material strength, ensuring the finished vessel maintains its mechanical properties under extreme pressure conditions.
Yes. All pressure vessel components are produced in line with our ISO 9001 quality management system, and we consider any additional industry-specific regulations required for your application.
Absolutely. We offer a range of finishing processes, including polishing and specialist treatments, to enhance corrosion resistance, surface finish, and overall performance.
Yes. We regularly produce custom pressure vessel parts based on customer drawings or collaborate during the design phase to ensure optimal performance and manufacturability.
We manufacture components for heat exchangers, reactors, flash drums, distillation towers, separators, and other pressure-critical systems.
