Custom Pressure Vessels
high quality pressure vessels built to your specifications
Overview
Fluitron has been designing and manufacturing custom pressure vessels for both low- and high-pressure applications for almost 50 years.
Whenever possible the vessels we design and fabricate are adherent to ASME Sec. VIII Div. 1 or 2 standards. This allows us to handle all aspects of the pressure vessel design and fabrication, then take care of any repair and alteration requirements during its operational lifespan.
Fluitron pressure vessels are utilised in applications including as reactors, accumulators, chemical tanks, storage vessels, process vessels, laboratory autoclaves, isostatic pressing chambers, hydrostatic test vessels, jacketed tanks and sample cylinders.
Features

Projects
Hydrogen Filling System for Fuel Cell Buses
This project focused on upgrading the hydrogen refueling infrastructure at an R&D center in Faridabad, India, to support the deployment of 15 Fuel Cell (FC) buses.
Fluitron designed, installed, and commissioned a state-of-the-art Hydrogen (H2) dispenser capable of filling both light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles at 350bar. With a focus on advanced technology and scalability, the project also introduced hydrogen pre-cooling to India and incorporated hardware for future 700-bar fueling.
