Classification issue for R22 storage tanks
Thread Content
The 50m3R22 storage tank, with a design temperature of 50°C and a design pressure of 2.2 MPa, should be classified as which category of vessel? Some designs are classified as Category II. Why?

Without these, it’s impossible to classify. If it is determined to fall into that category, then the material properties of the medium need to be considered: whether it is explosive and what the level of hazard is.
Based on the parameters provided by the poster, it should be a Class III pressure vessel.
