🧵 Does anyone here know how one can become a pressure vessel engineer?

I'm interested in becoming one, but it's hard to find much advice online since it's such a niche type of engineering, and there aren't too many people who do this job.

Oh and I live in the United States if that helps.

Bump for interest as well i may require to make a thermobaric chamber for my experiments
Perhaps there is something in the bell labs or western electric archives

Start as a regular vessel engineer and gradually increase the pressure by increments.

I don't know about the US but here a boilermaker is qualified to design and fabricate pressure vessels.

Probably good if you become a welder first to keep it real and not be a fake if you know what i mean.

engineer as in designing them or as in fabricating them...or both i suppose, if thats a thing. And at what level? theres a difference between standards for basic consumer products rated for <200psi and for industrial stuff working in the 1000s.

Read the chapter in Perry's and if you're still excited by the BPVC it must be your calling.

What is it about pressure vessels specifically that get you off? Why not generic engineer?

he desires to homebrew a reverse penis pump chamber larger enough for his entire body in the hope that he may add a cubit to his stature
