Do high-pressure equipment that are laboratory-type non-pressure vessels require airtightness testing and related inspections?
Thread Content
According to pressure vessel standards, devices with a diameter or volume below a certain threshold are not considered pressure vessels. Therefore, do high-pressure equipment in laboratory settings that are not pressure vessels require airtightness testing and related inspections? Are there any relevant implementation standards?

So, for smaller high-pressure reactor-type containers, are gas cylinders also installed for management?

For small high-pressure reactors, if the pressure vessel supervision regulations apply, they are managed as pressure vessels; if the gas cylinder safety regulations apply, they are managed as gas cylinders. If neither of those options is available, then contact the manufacturer and request safety management documents – it’s common sense; ordinary products usually come with instructions or warnings regarding safe use, let alone a reaction kettle. Therefore, laboratory equipment must have documents related to safety management; those that fall under the category of special equipment are subject to **regulation, while for equipment that does not qualify as special equipment, the laboratory itself should also have requirements regarding inspection and testing.
