Keeping fluids under high pressure has an element of risk in that it could be potentially hazardous if the energy stored inside is suddenly released. This stored energy, together with the nature of the stored fluid, determines the hazard level of pressure vessels. In order to guarantee the safety of THIELMANN pressure vessels, they are designed, manufactured and tested according to the demanding regulations and standards of each region. In Europe, the requirements are compiled in the Directive 2014/68/EU on pressure equipment (PED), which fully entered into force on 20 July 2016. **Please complete the form to download your complimentary copy of this whitepaper to your device.** [ DOWNLOAD ](https://www.thielmann.com/en/knowledge-base/pressure-vessels-ce-directive#til-contact-form) ## DOWNLOAD YOUR PAPERS COMPLETE THIS FORM TO GET IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO THE DOCUMENT YOU REQUESTED ### RELATED ARTICLES As one of the world’s leading manufacturer of stainless steel containers, THIELMANN has accumulated significant expertise across a wide range of industries over many years.Our experts regularly compile educational material and analyses such as our Whitepapers and Case Studies, which are an excellent way to share in our knowledge and expertise and to find out more about our industry, product and application-specific insights and experience.We invite you to peruse our informative material and welcome any questions or enquiries you may have.
