Pressure vessel engineering technology is of importance in many branches of industry. This journal publishes the latest research results and related information on all its associated aspects, with particular emphasis on the structural integrity assessment, maintenance and life extension of pressurised process engineering plants.The anticipated coverage of the International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping ranges from simple mass-produced pressure vessels to large custom-built vessels and tanks. Pressure vessels technology is a developing field, and contributions on the following topics will therefore be welcome:? Pressure vessel engineering? Structural integrity assessment? Design methods? Codes and standards? Fabrication and welding? Materials properties requirements? Inspection and quality management? Maintenance and life extension? Ageing and environmental effects? Life managementOf particular importance are papers covering aspects of significant practical application which could lead to major improvements in economy, reliability and useful life. While most accepted papers represent the results of original applied research, critical reviews of topical interest by world-leading experts will also appear from time to time.International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping is indispensable reading for engineering professionals involved in the energy, petrochemicals, process plant, transport, aerospace and related industries; for manufacturers of pressure vessels and ancillary equipment; and for academics pursuing research in these areas.

壓力容器工程技術(shù)在許多行業(yè)中具有重要意義。本雜志發(fā)表了最新的研究結(jié)果和所有相關(guān)方面的相關(guān)信息，特別強(qiáng)調(diào)了加壓工藝工程設(shè)備的結(jié)構(gòu)完整性評(píng)估、維護(hù)和壽命延長(zhǎng)。《國(guó)際壓力容器和管道雜志》的預(yù)期報(bào)道范圍從簡(jiǎn)單的批量生產(chǎn)壓力容器到大型定制容器和儲(chǔ)罐。壓力容器技術(shù)是一個(gè)發(fā)展中的領(lǐng)域，因此歡迎在以下主題上作出貢獻(xiàn)：?壓力容器工程?結(jié)構(gòu)完整性評(píng)估?設(shè)計(jì)方法?規(guī)范和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)?制造和焊接?材料性能要求?檢查和質(zhì)量管理?維護(hù)和壽命延長(zhǎng)?老化和環(huán)境影響?生活管理特別重要的是涉及重大實(shí)際應(yīng)用方面的論文，這些方面可能導(dǎo)致經(jīng)濟(jì)性、可靠性和使用壽命的重大改進(jìn)。雖然大多數(shù)被接受的論文代表了原始應(yīng)用研究的結(jié)果，但世界頂尖專家對(duì)熱門話題的評(píng)論也將不時(shí)出現(xiàn)。《壓力容器和管道國(guó)際期刊》是能源、石化、加工廠、運(yùn)輸、航空航天和相關(guān)行業(yè)的工程專業(yè)人士、壓力容器和輔助設(shè)備制造商以及從事這些領(lǐng)域研究的學(xué)者不可或缺的讀物。
