Does discharging through compressed air count as a pressure vessel?
Thread Content
Is discharging material using compressed air at 0.20 MPa considered a pressure vessel? 0
Pressure vessels that are discharged directly into the atmosphere in an instant (i.e., in a time shorter than normal working hours) and do not fall under the scope of the Pressure Vessel Regulations
Calculate whether the gas phase space is sufficient to meet the requirements for inclusion
It should not meet the regulatory requirements; compressed air serves only as a pushing force, and the discharge port is connected to the atmosphere at normal pressure!
Could the original poster provide more details on the process? What kind of equipment is it?
