A pressure vessel is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure.
The pressure differential is dangerous, and fatal accidents have occurred in the history of pressure vessel development and operation. Consequently, pressure vessel design, manufacture, and operation are regulated by engineering authorities backed by legislation. For these reasons, the definition of a pressure vessel varies from country to country, but involves parameters such as maximum safe operating pressure and temperature, and are engineered with a safety factor, corrosion allowance, minimum design temperature (for brittle fracture), and involve nondestructive testing, such as ultrasonic testing, radiography, and pressure tests, usually involving water, also known as a hydrotest, but could be pneumatically tested involving air or another gas. The preferred test is hydrostatic testing because it's a much safer method of testing as it releases much less energy if fracture were to occur (water does not rapidly increase its volume while rapid depressurization occurs, unlike gases like air, i.e. gasses fail explosively). In the United States, as with many other countries, it is the law that vessels over a certain size and pressure (15 PSIg) be built to Code, in the United States that Code is the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), these vessels also require an Authorized Inspector to sign off on every new vessel constructed and each vessel has a nameplate with pertinent information about the vessel such as maximum allowable working pressure, maximum temperature, minimum design metal temperature, what company manufactured it, the date, it's registration number (through the National Board), and ASME's official stamp for pressure vessels (U-stamp), making the vessel traceable and officially an ASME Code vessel.
With it, global vessel owners and charterers can reduce fuel use and carbon emissions ... "The vessel owners are challenged by increasing operating costs and growing pressure from charterers and environmental groups to enhance efficiency.
... presence of Chinese vessels ... The Philippine Coast Guard has deployed 84-meter and 97-meter vessels to pressure the Chinese ship "to move further away from the coast of Zambales," Tarriela said.
Breathing in cold air constricts blood vessels, which elevates blood pressure and narrows coronary arteries, increasing the risk of cardiac strain.What are symptoms of a heart attack?.

... by reducing blood pressure and boosting circulation.” ... They support the production of nitric oxide in the blood vessels which improves blood flow and relaxes blood vessels, lowering the blood pressure.
Supertanker freight rates have surged in recent days, as the US government’s expanded sanctions on Russian oil trade send traders scrambling to book vessels for shipments from other countries to China and India.
What causes headaches during winter?Various reasons are mentioned in medical science, like cold air causing scalp muscle stiffness, cold-induced changes in vessel diameters, or direct effects on nerves commonly experienced as brain freeze.
A lack of magnesium can interfere with calcium metabolism, potentially leading to weaker bones and an increased risk of osteoporosis over time.HighBlood PressureMagnesium plays a role in regulating blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels.

"The vessel has been in operation and floating since 1944," Cullen said in an interview with the Advocate... This is preventative maintenance, it's highly recommended for vessels of this age.".
Chronic high blood pressure can damage brain blood vessels, diabetes can lead to inflammation and vessel damage, and high cholesterol can cause plaque buildup in brain arteries, increasing stroke and dementia risk.
Some of the medications, the clinic said, can lower both heart rate and blood pressure, are only available in intravenous forms and can expand blood vessels.How many people take beta blockers?.
“If your blood pressure is too high, it puts extra strain on your blood vessels, heart and other organs, such as the brain, kidneys and eyes,” the NHS says.
Blood vessels become constricted, resulting in increased blood pressure along with an increased workload for the heart ... also enhances the chances of forming blood clots inside the blood vessels.
