Engineered to the standard that governs pressure.
Every Oxygen Health Systems hard-shell chamber is engineered and built to the ASME pressure-vessel code. We hold to these rigid engineering standards so you can enjoy hyperbaric therapy with complete confidence in the equipment.

What ASME certification actually is
ASME (the American Society of Mechanical Engineers) writes the codes that govern pressure equipment across North America. Its Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code sets the design, materials, and testing requirements our hard-shell chambers are built to.
A rigid, coded pressure vessel
ASME publishes the code that governs how rigid pressure vessels are designed and built. Only hard-shell chambers can be manufactured to it — it dictates materials, viewport design, joints, and fatigue life for equipment operating under pressure.
Engineered safety margins
The standard mandates design factors and pressure ratings well beyond normal operating loads, so a chamber has a proven margin before any component reaches its limit.
Documented and traceable
Every certified chamber ships with design calculations, material certs, weld records, and a hydrostatic pressure-test report — a complete, traceable record of how it was built.
Why the code exists
Pressure vessels store enormous energy, so early engineers developed a shared standard to build them safely and consistently. That discipline is the foundation of the ASME code today.
- 1880
ASME is founded
Engineers organize to bring order to an industry with no shared rules.
- 1915
The first code
The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is published and adopted into law.

The standard we build to
Every Concourse chamber is engineered and tested to that same code.
Engineering you can verify.
Building to the ASME pressure-vessel code turns quality into something documented and provable. Here is what that standard delivers for you.
Engineered for real pressure loads
A hyperbaric chamber operates under significant internal pressure. Building to the ASME pressure-vessel code means the shell, welds, and seals are engineered and verified for those loads over years of daily cycling.
Quality you can document
Code-built chambers come with certified materials, qualified welds, and tested seals — the details that determine long-term performance and that a data package can prove.
Insurance and coverage
Certified equipment is frequently a prerequisite for insurance coverage and inspection sign-off, making it a smoother path for clinics and wellness centers.
Code compliance and resale
Many jurisdictions require ASME-coded pressure vessels for commercial operation. A certified chamber supports your ability to operate today and holds its value tomorrow.
How a chamber earns its certification
Certification is not a label applied at the end — it is a chain of controlled steps, each documented and verifiable, from raw material to final nameplate.
- 01
Design & engineering review
Every vessel begins with stress analysis and design calculations checked against ASME requirements for wall thickness, viewport geometry, and fatigue life.
- 02
Qualified materials & fabrication
Pressure-grade materials with traceable mill certifications are fabricated by coded welders following qualified weld procedures — no substitutions, no shortcuts.
- 03
Window certification
Windows are the most safety-critical component. Each window is manufactured and documented to ASME dimensional and testing rules.
- 04
Hydrostatic pressure test
Before it ships, each chamber is pressurized beyond its rated working pressure and inspected, verifying real-world integrity — not just paperwork.
- 05
Documentation & nameplate
The vessel is stamped and delivered with its full data package: design report, test records, and material certs you can hand to any inspector.
Hard chamber vs. soft chamber
Only hard-shell chambers can be built and certified to the ASME standard. We choose rigid construction so every unit meets the code's design, materials, and testing requirements — the same rigor a soft, inflatable chamber is not built to provide.
