How can pressure vessels be classified according to the way they are subjected to pressure?
Compression method? I’m not quite sure what is being asked; it generally relates to internal pressure, external pressure, axial compression, and tension – what other forms could there be?
Pressure vessels can be classified into internal pressure vessels and external pressure vessels based on the manner of pressure application.
Based on the level of pressure they can withstand, they are classified into four categories: low-pressure vessels, medium-pressure vessels, high-pressure vessels, and ultra-high-pressure vessels.
In the fixed-volume code, pressure vessels are classified into three categories: classification by medium, classification by pressure rating, and classification by type; they are not categorized based on the mode of compression； If we have to specify, they are external-pressure vessels and internal-pressure vessels.
Internal pressure vessels, external pressure vessels. For internal pressure vessels, pressures ranging from 0.1 to 1.6 are considered low pressure, 1.6 to 10 is medium pressure, 10 to 100 is high pressure, and above 100 is ultra-high pressure
