It is shown that highly reliable pressure vessels were built with factors of safety as low as 1.5; importance of great care in design, manufacturing and quality control is emphasized; discussion of designing vessels to lowest possible factor of safety, limited proof testing, five considerations governing materials selection, inspection of forgings as only materials used for pressure vessels, and of procedures followed to minimize weld problems.
