New Record in Pressure Vessel Fabrication with 28-Meter Cylinder Assembly

Early this month, Openex embarked on a remarkable journey in pressure vessel fabrication. We took on the challenge of fabricating the outer cylinder for a colossal storage tank belonging to a major enterprise. What makes this achievement truly exceptional is the astounding length of the assembled cylinder, which reached a staggering 28 meters, shattering our previous record for the largest cylinder assembly. Today, we proudly announce the successful shipment of the outer cylinder, marking a significant milestone in our journey.

The fabrication of this extraordinary cylinder posed several unique challenges. With a thin wall thickness and an imposing diameter, it required meticulous planning and execution. Moreover, the large ellipticity of the cylinder's outer circumference, irregular straightness, and susceptibility to deformation made this project particularly demanding. Additionally, the post-welding processing of the cylinder presented formidable obstacles due to its difficulty in plasticization.

This massive storage tank comprises 13 cylinders, all sharing the same diameter. The precision of the rolled cylinders is a critical factor influencing the overall quality of the finished product. Openex is proud to have met these challenges head-on, thanks to the exceptional capabilities of our Italian FACCN three-roller rolling equipment and our well-established processing solutions.
