Authorized Distributor

The Backbone of Your Air System. ASME Certified.

A compressed air system is only as stable as its storage. Samuel Pressure Vessel Group (SPVG), formerly known as Silvan, is the largest manufacturer of ASME-certified pressure vessels in North America. Whether you need a simple vertical tank for a shop or a massive custom-engineered vessel for a refinery, Samuel sets the global standard for safety and quality.

Blackhawk Equipment is your authorized partner for Samuel Pressure Vessel Group. We stock the critical receivers needed to stabilize system pressure, reduce compressor cycling, and ensure your facility is safe and compliant.

Why We Partner with Samuel?

We partner with Samuel Pressure Vessel Group because safety is non-negotiable.

Compressed air stores massive amounts of energy. A tank failure can be catastrophic. Samuel’s rigorous testing, robotic welding precision, and ASME “U” stamp certification ensure that every vessel we install is safe, durable, and compliant with all state and federal regulations (OSHA).

The Blackhawk Advantage

Storage is the cheapest form of energy management.

📉 Peak Management: We calculate the “demand events” in your facility and size the tank to handle spikes without turning on a backup compressor.
🛠 Code Compliance: We ensure your tank meets local permit requirements, including CRN (Canada) or PED (Europe) if you are shipping machinery abroad.
⚙️ Integrated Skids: We mount Samuel tanks on our custom [Turnkey Skids / custom-packages/compressed-air-systems], pre-piped and ready to run.
📦 Accessories: Every tank we sell can be outfitted with zero-loss drains and relief valves pre-installed.
