In compressed air systems, the air receiver tank is the most typical and legally designated pressure vessel component. Moreover, in certain screw compressors, the oil–gas separator tank also falls under the category of pressure vessels when it meets…
Gas storage tank
Does a 600-liter gas storage tank operating at a working pressure of 0.8 MPa qualify as special equipment?
This article provides a detailed analysis of whether an air storage tank with a working pressure of 0.8 MPa and a volume of 600 L qualifies as special equipment. Based on the current Safety Technical Code for Pressure…
Safety Risks and Prevention Guidelines for Air Compressors and Pressure Vessels in Air Storage Tanks
Air compressors and air receivers, as critical pressure vessels, are widely used in industrial production; however, they also pose serious safety risks, including vessel rupture, fire, and electric shock. This paper thoroughly analyzes the primary safety hazards of…
Pressure vessels, as critical special-purpose equipment, have a design service life that directly impacts production safety. Current Chinese regulations do not prescribe a uniform, fixed retirement age for all pressure vessels; instead, they require design organizations to specify…
Mobile air compressors as complete units are not classified as special equipment; however, if their accompanying pressure vessels have a volume of ≥25 L and a working pressure of ≥0.1 MPa, they qualify as pressure vessels under the…
