ASME
ASME is the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, which publishes widely referenced standards for pressure vessels.
ASME, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, develops engineering codes used across many industries, including the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. These standards guide the design, material selection, and testing of pressure-containing equipment. Hyperbaric chamber manufacturers reference ASME standards to help ensure structural integrity and safe operation of hard-shell chambers.
This entry is part of the OxyEdge Hyperbaric Glossary, a plain-language reference covering the pressure, oxygen-delivery, and chamber-construction terms you will encounter when researching mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Understanding this vocabulary makes it easier to compare chamber specifications, evaluate safety features, and ask the right questions before purchasing a chamber for a clinic, wellness center, or home.

- PVHO
- PVHO stands for Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy, a category of standards for chambers designed to hold people under pressure.
- Relief Valve
- A relief valve is a safety device that automatically vents pressure if a vessel exceeds its rated limit.
- Pressurization
- Pressurization is the controlled process of raising the internal pressure of a hyperbaric chamber above ambient levels.
- Depressurization
- Depressurization is the controlled process of lowering chamber pressure back to normal atmospheric levels at the end of a session.
