壓力容器工程技術在許多行業中具有重要意義。本雜志發表了最新的研究結果和所有相關方面的相關信息，特別強調了加壓工藝工程設備的結構完整性評估、維護和壽命延長。《國際壓力容器和管道雜志》的預期報道范圍從簡單的批量生產壓力容器到大型定制容器和儲罐。壓力容器技術是一個發展中的領域，因此歡迎在以下主題上作出貢獻：?壓力容器工程?結構完整性評估?設計方法?規范和標準?制造和焊接?材料性能要求?檢查和質量管理?維護和壽命延長?老化和環境影響?生活管理特別重要的是涉及重大實際應用方面的論文，這些方面可能導致經濟性、可靠性和使用壽命的重大改進。雖然大多數被接受的論文代表了原始應用研究的結果，但世界頂尖專家對熱門話題的評論也將不時出現。《壓力容器和管道國際期刊》是能源、石化、加工廠、運輸、航空航天和相關行業的工程專業人士、壓力容器和輔助設備制造商以及從事這些領域研究的學者不可或缺的讀物。

Pressure vessel engineering technology is of importance in many branches of industry. This journal publishes the latest research results and related information on all its associated aspects, with particular emphasis on the structural integrity assessment, maintenance and life extension of pressurised process engineering plants.The anticipated coverage of the International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping ranges from simple mass-produced pressure vessels to large custom-built vessels and tanks. Pressure vessels technology is a developing field, and contributions on the following topics will therefore be welcome:? Pressure vessel engineering? Structural integrity assessment? Design methods? Codes and standards? Fabrication and welding? Materials properties requirements? Inspection and quality management? Maintenance and life extension? Ageing and environmental effects? Life managementOf particular importance are papers covering aspects of significant practical application which could lead to major improvements in economy, reliability and useful life. While most accepted papers represent the results of original applied research, critical reviews of topical interest by world-leading experts will also appear from time to time.International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping is indispensable reading for engineering professionals involved in the energy, petrochemicals, process plant, transport, aerospace and related industries; for manufacturers of pressure vessels and ancillary equipment; and for academics pursuing research in these areas.
