Abstract The pressure vessels are playing an important role in the world Industrial Technology. They are predominantly used in all Manufacturing, Chemical and Petrochemical, Oil Production and Nuclear plants. Many operating pressure vessels have inherent great potential energy that is when released, for example as a result of material failure. there is a possibility of life and property destruction. As a vital and critical component in the industry, many design codes and references have been issued to demonstrate the design rules. materials. fabrication, inspection and testing of pressure vessels. The intention is to guarantee vessel sound structure which safely satisfies its operating duties and consequently secure the continuity of uninterrupted plant production Alike any piece of equipment. depending on 1ts construction and operating environment, the pressure vessel is deteriorating by time. hence require frequent inspection and maintenance programs to ensure that the original design criteria are ever maintained.
