A selection from our range of pressure vessels

What types of pressure vessels do we offer?

Our pressure vessels cover a wide range of applications – from process vessels for water, oil and gas, through to autoclaves and complex equipment for chemical and industrial processes. Each project is designed on a case-by-case basis and manufactured in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive. For example, we manufacture:

Process & Storage Tanks

For liquids, gases and steam: our process and storage vessels offer a high level of safety, robust wall thicknesses and a construction designed for long-term use. Pressure ratings such as 10 bar or 20 bar are available, as are customised dimensions.

Autoclaves & Pressure Chambers

Where processes need to be carried out under controlled internal pressure, we develop bespoke autoclaves or pressure chambers, including all calculations, tests and TÜV approvals.

Gas cylinders & specialised equipment

We design high-quality equipment for technical gases, demanding media or specialised process parameters. Our experience in equipment manufacturing enables us to provide solutions that function reliably even under complex conditions.

Machining and finishing processes for pressure vessels

  • Laser & plasma cutting: High-precision cutting of steel and stainless steel – the basis for a precise fit and durable welds.
  • Bending & Forming Technology: Precise bending enables complex geometries to be produced that are stable and ready for assembly.
  • Certified welding: Our certified welders are proficient in all relevant processes (TIG, MIG, MAG or UP), tailored to pressure vessel requirements and special materials.

We can also carry out oxy-fuel cutting, turning, milling, drilling, grinding, blasting, painting and pickling.

Overview of sheet metal working

Quality & Control

When it comes to pressure vessels, quality is not a promise – it is a requirement. That is why our products undergo comprehensive testing and inspection processes that go far beyond the standard requirements. From the incoming materials inspection right through to final acceptance, we document every step of the process in full.

For every vessel, you will therefore receive: material certificates, welding documentation, test reports, calculation documents, pressure test records, and CE or TÜV approvals – all complete, traceable and compliant with the Pressure Equipment Directive.

Design & Calculation

Our design department carries out structural and pressure-related design work, strength analyses and all necessary calculations in accordance with AD 2000, the Pressure Equipment Directive and customer-specific requirements. The result is a vessel that is precisely tailored to your operating conditions – safe, efficient and fully documented.

Albrecht has been in business for over 390 years! Our expertise in sheet metal working therefore goes far beyond our 70 years’ experience in tank manufacturing.
