Does external half-pipe heating of a reaction kettle fall under the category of pressure vessels?

2018-07-24View Original

Thread Content

It is a 50L stainless steel reactor with constant pressure inside; steam is used for heating via DN25 semi-tubes on the outside, and the design pressure of these semi-tubes is 1.6 MPa. Does this equipment qualify as a pressure vessel, according to experts?

Unregulated Class I pressure vessels.

When the working pressure inside the kettle is less than 0.1 Mpa (gauge pressure), it is not considered a pressure vessel nor a special equipment. If the inner diameter of the half-pipe is less than 150 mm, it also does not fall under the category of special equipment.

The large capacity specifications clearly state the range; just compare them to find out.

Aren’t all those in the above category subject to regulation?

The answer on the 3rd floor is very comprehensive and correct; thumbs up

The 3rd floor is right; we made a batch. However, this structure can reduce the wall thickness of the cylinder, but it greatly increases the welding workload. Pay attention to the welding process during welding

It can’t really be called a equipment under normal pressure either; it’s more something for which regulatory requirements don’t apply, an off-category container

Yes, my expression is a bit lacking; the understanding on the 3rd floor is quite comprehensive. It’s not part of the category of pressure vessels anyway.
