API RP 934:2000

This recommended practice applies to new heavy wall pressure vessels in petroleum refining, petrochemical and chemical facilities in which hydrogen or hydrogen-containing fluids are processed at elevated temperature and pressure. It is based on decades of industry operating experience and the results of experimentation and testing conducted by independent manufacturers, fabricators and users of heavy wall pressure vessels for this service. Licensors and owners of process units in which these heavy wall pressure vessels are to be used may modify and/or supplement this recommended practice with additional proprietary requirements.
