Current problems of creating equipment operating under pressure and potential of Irkutskniikhimmash

The current problems of designing equipment operating under pressure for chemical, petrochemical, oil refining, and other branches of the industry and possible ways to solve them are discussed. The potential of IrkutskNIIkhimmash in developing designs of new equipment operating under pressures up to 130 MPa and of the research base of the institute is shown. The need for joining efforts of equipment planners, designers, manufacturers, and users in creating new high-efficiency equipment and for following a common technical policy for developing and actualizing standards and harmonizing them with international standards as well as for centralized publication of European and American (ASME) standards in Russia and their translation into Russian is emphasized.
