Does the process vent pipe fall under the category of pressure pipelines?
Thread Content
Dear sea friends, I would like to ask whether process vent pipes (that meet the requirements in terms of pressure and diameter) fall under the regulatory scope of pressure pipelines? For example, is supervision and inspection required, or is registration needed?
It falls under pressure pipelines and requires supervision
The branch pipes and branching structures of process pressure pipeline systems may not be considered pressure pipelines even based on temperature and pressure ranges, but in practice, the risk should be assessed according to the system’s pressure range; therefore, they are all within the scope of regulation for pressure pipelines. Think about it this way: in the event of an emergency, could there be cross-connection of materials, pressure, etc.? Yes, so monitoring and supervision are necessary. This is also why many people are confused about whether water supply and drainage systems count as pressure pipelines.
It shouldn’t be pressure pipes that fall under regulatory oversight; it’s sufficient to take the necessary measures in accordance with the standards
I think from a hazard perspective, it shouldn’t be; there’s no pressure in the discharge pipeline, right?
Based on the criteria for pressure pipelines, if it meets those criteria, then it is a pressure pipeline.
