A brief discussion on some peculiar cases encountered in the operation of pressure vessels

“The rapid improvement in China’s manufacturing capabilities is an achievement that has attracted worldwide attention. However, the long-standing habit of focusing on equipment conditions while neglecting quality awareness has severely affected the reputation of Chinese companies and the quality of their products. Complying with regulations has become a long-standing problem for Chinese enterprises, and it is also a major factor affecting the safety and quality of pressure vessels. ”A brief discussion on the strange cases encountered in pressure vessel operations!
50㎥ storage tank； Medium: Ethylene oxide ； Design pressure: 0.09 Mpa ； Main material: Q235B ； The boss insisted on going ahead with this, and they reluctantly signed each other’s names
Have you calculated it then? Are there any areas that violate the standards? Who will take on these responsibilities?

It was designed wrong from the start. . . . . . . . . . . .
That’s bad; whoever signed off on the design and proofreading is in big trouble.
Now, the responsibility system for chemical equipment design is a lifetime system. Be responsible for yourself and for others as well
The design of ethylene oxide storage tanks should be the same as that of liquefied hydrocarbon storage tanks, as they are considered pressure vessels. Can the manager ensure that the temperature of the ethylene oxide storage tank remains below 10 degrees at all times?
On one hand, there is the CEO’s firm stance; on the other hand, there is the violation of standards and regulations – it’s indeed a dilemma. Isn’t your boss the legal representative? If something goes wrong like this, he can’t get away either.
Why violate the rules? Are cooling measures plus overpressure relief also not allowed?
Did you calculate, construct, and install the container in accordance with the container regulations? Should the design pressure be reduced separately to within 0.1 MPa in order to avoid regulatory oversight? If the calculations are also based on 0.09 MPa, I still recommend quitting as soon as possible – something bad will happen sooner or later
