A Brief Review on Measurement Methods and Application of Ultra High Pressure Vessels Employed in Food Processing in China

Abstract

A review of conventional and optical measurement methods of ultra high pressure vessels (UHPVs) in-service was introduced. Typical engineering applications of these technologies were illustrated. The new trends of inspection methods of UHPVs were discussed. Owe to full-field, non-destructive imaging characteristics with high precision and sensitivity, optical measurement methods had gained more and more attention in recent years. Therefore, DIC was suggested to be developed for experimental inspection of UHPVs in 2D or 3D surface shape and deformations.
