Containers that are designed specifically to retain internal pressure or a vacuum
A pressure vessel is a container designed to resist a uniform pressure load exerted by a fluid medium. This fluid can be atmospheric air for a vacuum chamber, or high-pressure steam in a heat exchanger.
Pressure vessels are typically designed to a safety code, such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
