Container identification issue

Thread Content

It is a small U-tube steam heater; the shell side operates at atmospheric pressure, the tube bank is equipped with baffle plates and has a volume of 0.05 M3. The heat exchange area of the U-tubes is 1 square meter. According to the new capacity regulations, does an apparatus like this fall under the regulatory category for fixed capacity devices?

You just need to check each one against the tolerance specifications.

Those with a diameter greater than 150 and a pressure of not less than 0.1 MPa are subject to regulation.

The steam pressure is definitely above 0.1 Mpa, the volume is over 30 liters, and the diameter is over 150 mm; therefore, it is certainly a pressure vessel that requires supervision and inspection.

According to your criteria, those with a diameter greater than 150 mm fall under the jurisdiction of the fixed capacity regulations...

The question is unclear; the shell side at atmospheric pressure should be the medium being heated, and this isn’t subject to monitoring. The tube side contains steam, but its pressure and diameter are not specified

Considering the volume inside the pipe, it should basically fall under the jurisdiction of Ronggui.

The conditions aren’t very clear; is the medium steam, and what is the pressure? The pipe volume is also sufficient; what is the diameter? So it’s still impossible to determine.
