Frequently Asked Questions About ASME Pressure Vessels

Below are the questions that engineers, procurement managers, and project teams most often ask when evaluating a pressure vessel fabricator.

An ASME-certified pressure vessel is a closed container engineered to hold fluids or gases at internal pressures that differ significantly from ambient pressure. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) establishes the design, materials, fabrication, inspection, and testing requirements that manufacturers must follow to earn the right to apply the ASME Certification Mark (U Stamp or U2 Stamp). Working with a non-certified fabricator introduces significant regulatory, safety, and liability risk.

Yes. Boardman fabricates ASME pressure vessels directly from customer-supplied drawings, or Boardman’s team can manage the engineering and design process from start to finish. You choose your level of involvement, and Boardman executes accordingly.

Every pressure vessel fabricated by Boardman includes full documentation packages: weld records, material certifications, inspection reports, and ASME code compliance documentation. This ensures your vessel is traceable, auditable, and ready for third-party inspection or regulatory review.

Boardman assigns dedicated project stewardship to every job, meaning one point of contact owns your schedule, communicates proactively, and flags issues before they become delays. This structure is designed specifically for plant engineers and procurement teams managing shutdown and turnaround windows.

Boardman fabricates pressure vessels for customers nationwide. Vessels are engineered with transport constraints in mind, including size, weight, and routing requirements, so your equipment arrives on-site safely and on schedule.

Definitely a great team effort between HFS and Boardman to get this knocked out quickly with no mistakes.  Appreciate you and your teams help getting this across the finish line!

“I would like to go out of my way to say this is the quickest I have seen a vessel come together. Your ability to manage this on such short notice does not go unnoticed and definitely will earn you some more business. Your professional approach and ability to keep this moving was amazing! I was hoping to see this thing through to the end and see about getting some Guiness world record trophy on our walls.”

“Your engineering team has gone above and beyond for our current projects. We have thrown quite a few changes at them and they have dug into code details that are not normally required to satisfy the requests of some of our SME folks. They are always available, even when they’re off or on weekends to help answer any urgent questions. I tried to find something we can do to help recognize the extra efforts, but could not come up with anything. Thank you for the efforts and willingness to work with us so closely on these urgent jobs.”

“Thank you and everyone at Boardman for an excellent 2 days of training and exceptional hospitality. While it gave me the opportunity to get out of the office for 2 days, it was also a great training/refreshing opportunity for me and on top of it, I got to visit your facility, which I think is quite impressive. Hope to have some more work in your shop soon. There are several folks here who were amazed when I told them that you guys had welding stations set up and each of us got to weld and try out as many as 4 welding processes. Please keep me posted on the next training session.”

“I just wanted to share some photos of the Deisobutonizer being lifted into place yesterday. None of this would have been possible without your efforts in both the manufacturing and transport of the tower. This is the largest structure on the project and you all deserve a lot of credit for this milestone. It was not only a pleasure to work with you all on this fabrication and hauling to site of the monstrosity but it was a privilege to have such a team behind us to make this happen with no incident and what on the surface seemed child’s play. You all should be very proud of yourselves and your collective teams and firms, without you none of this was even conceivable.”

Materials & Logistics

Cenovus Superior Refinery

“I worked with Boardman on a project involving multiple vessels. The team’s impressive knowledge of ASME Section VIII Div 1 was critical to the success of the project. I enjoyed seeing the vessels in person during an engineering design course at the Boardman facility. The team always kept me in the loop and ensured quality work from fabrication through shipment.”

Mechanical Engineer

Black & Veatch

“Boardman was great to work with from the initial bidding phase through procurement. It is clear that they value relationships and are very professional.
