Container classification exercises – discussions are welcome

A storage container with an operating pressure of Pw=0.5 Mpa, a design pressure of P=0.6 Mpa; the medium is pure water at a temperature of 50°C; its volume is V=1 m3, and the filling factor is 0.9. Difficult issues related to mechanical equipment – submit here
The operating temperature does not reach the standard boiling point, so it is not classified
Haha, with a 100L gas space, it’s of course classified as Class I.
Class I: Working pressure X gas phase volume > 2.5 MPa·L
P*V=50MPA.L
P*V=50MPa·L, classified as a Class I pressure vessel
For Class I pressure vessels, since there is a gas phase space, if the filling factor is 1.0, no classification is required
Damn, I’ve learned something new – this is classified in a certain category. So I wonder if the equipment used in water supply systems is also classified in a specific category; after all, there’s high pressure involved there, and sometimes the water supply isn’t sufficient
If it’s not filled with water to the full, where does such high pressure come from? Unless the gas phase space is also filled with certain gases?
