How to distinguish between storage pressure vessels and separation pressure vessels?
Thank you. It mainly concerns pressure vessels that are not explicitly specified and are classified based on their industrial uses; the equipment manufacturers are not aware of their functional roles in those processes.
As mentioned above, it is detailed in Appendix A of the \"TSG21-2016 Safety Technical Inspection Regulations for Fixed Pressure Vessels\". The storage-type function can only perform the “storage” function. For example, storing solids, storing gases, storing liquids, etc. The function of the separation category enables the “separation” functionality. Such as functions like gas-liquid separation, washing, absorption, extraction, gravity sedimentation separation, filtration, etc. Share TSG21-2016 (TSG R0004 has been revoked) https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-2012001-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum)
Thank you. I know it’s specified in the general specifications, but I’m not familiar with the manufacturing process and don’t understand what the equipment is used for. In other words, separation and storage are not easily distinguishable
