pressure chamber design standard
pressure chamber design standard
(OP)
I am not sure if this subject is under the right forum, however I couldn't find anything from medical equipment section.
What is the standard that must be used to apply hydrostatic test to a pressure chamber used in medical applications? Is it proper to consider chamber as a pressure vessel or are there any specific standards for design and testing the chambers?

Is this for human occupancy?
If not is there any other physical conditions to be met.
I would say the least requirement would be ASME VIII.

All the ASME codes on this page.

comply to FDA 510
comply with NFPA 99
You need to get all the details about the use of said chamber as some or most no use a high O2 gas. As the O2 content goes up so do the design problems.
This is from my diving buddy that works around Hyperbaric Chambers, he just happened to be there. He stated and I concur it will be lot cheaper and less trouble to purchase one from a chamber manufacturer.

Also, be aware that more recent editions of the ASME code have adjusted allowable stresses and all, and I believe a change in hydrotest pressure went with that.

If there is any problem with the chamber your best bet would be to get with manufacturer.
