Foreword
In recent years there have been many and rapid developments in the
technology of pressure vessels and of pressurised components. There has
been an increase in the numbers of vessels in use in the chemical and
petrochemical industries, in fossil and nuclear power stations and in
aerospace and marine engineering applications. Many of these applications
call for operation under extremes of high or low temperature, high
internal or external pressure and severe environments. These developments
have caused much attention to be given to the safety and reliability of
pressure vessels. Consequently there has been remarkable progress in many
aspects related to their design, materials, fabrication and methods of
inspection.
Interest in pressure vessel technology is truly international. All the
countries of the world are facing the same problems in this respect. The
International Conference on Pressure Vessel Technology (ICPVT) held
approximately once every four years, organised by the International
Council for Pressure Vessel Technology, gives research workers and design
and operational engineers the opportunity to get together to exchange
views and to present their contributions to pressure vessel technology.
Previous conferences and their locations have been as follows:
1969 ICPVT 1 Delft, The Netherlands
1973 ICPVT 2 San Antonia, Texas, USA
1977 ICPVT 3 Tokyo, Japan
1980 ICPVT 4 London, UK
1984 ICPVT 5 San Francisco, California, USA
The present volumes relate to the proceedings of the Sixth ICPVT
Conference held in Beijing in the People's Republic of China in 1988. At
this conference special emphasis was given to practical applications in
pressure vessel technology, particularly with respect to the results of
recent development and research, including contributions from prominent
specialists from many different countries.
In order to present the broadest technical scope some 140 papers were
carefully selected from the considerable number of submissions, with about
the same number coming from each of the three regions of ICPVT, namely the
Asia-Oceanic Region, the European-African Region and the North-South
American Region. It is our great pleasure to present these papers in
these volumes for your permanent library.
As has been the case previously, these Proceedings are divided into three
separate volumes as follows:
Volume 1 Design and Analysis
Volume 2 Materials and Fabrication
Volume 3 The Robert Wylie Memorial Lecture, the ICPVT 6
Invited Lectures and supplementary material

The Sixth International Conference on Pressure Vessel Technology was
organised by the Chinese Steering Committee arranged by the Chinese
Pressure Vessel Institution of the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society
with the cooperation of the Asia-Oceanic Regional Committee and the High
Pressure Institute of Japan. A great deal of assistance was provided by
the European-African Regional Committee, the Institution of Mechanical
Engineers in England, the American Regional Committee and the Pressure
Vessel and Piping Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
We are indebted to these committees, societies, groups and staff members
for making the conference possible, and also to the lecturers, authors,
panelists and other participants for their contributions to the fields of
pressure vessel technology.
