Pressure Vessels

Heavy plate for pressure vessel and boiler engineering
Whether for out-of-the-ordinary sizes or complex designs, ultra-high toughness, temperature and corrosion resistance, or maximum weight-savings – Dillinger is your high-power partner whenever and wherever you set special demands for your pressure vessels or boilers.
Dillinger’s strengths in pressure vessel and boiler engineering
- Our non-alloy, low-alloyed and special steels for pressure vessels and boilers conform to the relevant international standards and codes of practice.
- Products for these applications are approved in accordance with the applicable standards and codes of practice.
- Dillinger is a qualified producer with global references, a fact acknowledged by all important decision-makers in the oil, gas and energy sectors.
- We can meet practically all conceivable additional specification requirements.
- Dillinger plates can be supplied in bigger-than-average formats and dimensions, enabling you to fabricate even the largest pressure vessels cost-efficiently.
- Save time and eliminate difficult initial working and processing operations. Dillinger can supply you with edge-machined plates or plates cut to net size and/or bent to service radius, or semi-finished shell sections.
- No matter how large or complicated your order may be, and no matter where in the world your pressure vessel or boiler is to be erected – Dillinger will also be happy to make all the logistical arrangements for you.
