Pressure Systems Safety Regulations

PRESSURE SYSTEM Defined in the Pressure System Safety Regulations 2000 as a system containing one or more pressure vessels of rigid construction, any associated pipework and protective devices the pipework with its protective devices to which a transportable gas container is, or is intended to be, connected or a pipeline and its protective devices which contains or is liable to contain a relevant fluid, but does not include a transportable gas container. Here relevant fluid is steam any fluid or mixture of fluids which is at a pressure of >0.5 bar above atmospheric pressure, and which fluid or a mixture of fluids is a gas, or a liquid which would have a vapour pressure of >0.5 bar above atmospheric pressure when in equilibrium with its vapour at either tlie actual temperature of the liquid or 17.5°C or a gas dissolved under pressure in a solvent contained in a porous substance at ambient temperamre and which could be released from the solvent with the application of heat.

Figure 15.4 shows a procedure for the refilling of returnable containers with a chemical of assured quality. (This will require some combination of documentation, sampling and analysis to ensure that the chemical is of the correct type, and in the intended condition.) This is applicable to drums and plastic containers, and bottles, but some modifications are necessary for pressure systems, i.e. gas cylinders, covered by the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 including ...

Under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations, a wide range of pressure vessels and systems require thorough examination by a competent person to an agreed, specifically written, scheme. In construction work the most common piece of equipment is the mobile air receiver for concrete breaking and the like. [Pg.193]
