What Makes a High-Integrity Pressure Vessel? Key Design and Manufacturing Factors
In many industrial processes, pressure vessels play a critical role. They are used to store, contain, and process liquids or gases under pressure across industries such as energy, chemicals, food processing, and manufacturing.Because of the conditions they operate under, pressure vessels must be designed and manufactured with care. High pressure, temperature changes, and challenging process…
LTi Metaltech Secures Multi-Million-Pound Long-Term Supply Agreement with Siemens Healthineers MR Magnet Technology
LTi Metaltech announces a new multi-million-pound long-term agreement with Siemens Healthineers MR Magnet Technology, continuing two decades of collaboration in the manufacture of precision-engineered cryogenic pressure vessels for MRI systems worldwide.
The Role of Welding Techniques in High-Integrity Pressure Vessels
High-integrity pressure vessels are engineered for environments where failure is not an option. In sectors such as Healthcare, Renewable Energy, and Nuclear Fusion, vessels must operate safely under sustained internal pressure, thermal cycling, and often corrosive process conditions.At the heart of every high-integrity pressure vessel is welding.Welding techniques are not simply fabrication methods – they…

Leading UK pressure vessel manufacturer LTi Metaltech Ltd has been awarded a contract in excess of £45 million by Sellafield Ltd to manufacture and supply SRP Products for Sellafield’s Product and Residue Store Retreatment Plant (SRP).
What is TIG Welding?
Tungsten Inert Gas Welding offers a good balance of versatility and precision in metal fabrication processes. It makes one of the best quality welding finishes on a range of metals, with clean and strong results. TIG welding is one of the key processes we use at LTI Metaltech as part of our fabrication services. In…
Transporting large pressure vessels by road
Transporting the largest pressure vessels by road is a complex task, as regulations on safety, size, weight, and dimensions need to be kept. With tight corners, bridges and tunnels being common obstacles on UK roads, careful route planning, and co-operation with local transport authorities and haulage companies is needed to ensure a safe and legally…
Pressure Vessels Explained – Uses Across Healthcare & Energy
Pressure vessels can be small or large containers usually manufactured from metals that are made to withstand fluids under pressure often above or below ambient temperatures. They are used to hold gases or liquids at higher pressures than normal or at partial or full vacuum. They are available in a variety of sizes, and are…
