Do vacuum vessels fall under the pressure vessels covered by the new regulations?

Work pressure of 0.1 MPa or higher can be considered.
Containers operating in pure vacuum are not governed by tolerance specifications.
The new regulations stipulate that vacuum vessels are not covered by these regulations.
It is a pressure vessel, but it is not governed by the vessel regulations.
Fully agree; please carefully check the tolerance range
Vacuum vessels (i.e., those subject only to external pressure) are generally not within the scope of vessel specification management.
The answer to this question can be found in Questions 1-41 of the book \"Answers to Questions on Vacuum Vessels Not Covered by Dimensional Specifications\"
Of course not. The working pressure must be above 0.1 MPa.
Vacuum vessels are not covered by the old or new container regulations, but the design requirements vary depending on the required vacuum level
