Which components in an air compressor, air receiver tank, refrigerated dryer, and filters qualify as pressure vessels?
In compressed air systems, the pressure vessel characteristics of air receivers, refrigerant dryers, and filters differ. Air receivers qualify as statutory pressure vessels because they meet the applicable pressure–volume criteria; the refrigerant dryer as a whole is not…
Whether an air compressor is subject to special equipment regulations is not determined by its motor power, but rather by the working pressure and volume of the accompanying air receiver tank. This article provides a detailed analysis of…
As a critical pressure vessel, the air receiver tank’s design life directly affects both its safe operation and economic efficiency. This paper provides a detailed analysis—covering fundamental concepts, key influencing factors, regulatory and code requirements, and practical assessment…
The water in an air compressor’s receiver tank is essentially condensate formed during air compression. However, due to the presence of ambient dust, trace amounts of lubricating oil, and rust particles from the tank’s interior, its physical properties…

The pressure vessel of the air compressor has reached its design service life. Can it still be used?
Once the design service life of a pressure vessel for an air compressor has expired, it must not be put back into service. The design service life serves as a safety‑based reference period rather than an absolute end‑of‑life…

Selection Guide for Air Compressors When Pneumatic Tools Operate at a Working Pressure of 0.6 to 0.7 MPa
This article provides a detailed analysis of key considerations for selecting an air compressor when using pneumatic tools operating at pressures between 0.6 and 0.7 MPa. It covers discharge‑volume calculations, pressure matching, receiver tank configuration, and practical maintenance…
The air compressor host itself is not classified as special equipment; however, the accompanying air receivers and pressure piping that meet specified parameters are considered special equipment. Enterprises are required by law to register their use, conduct periodic…
