european directive and regulation for pressure vessel

european directive and regulation for pressure vessel

(OP)
Hi to all!

Is there a web page o sort of "starting guide document" so that one can have a look of the latest pressure vessel directives, regulations and starndards?

thanks !

a lost guy...

RE: european directive and regulation for pressure vessel

Thanks a lot!

this derives me to european directive 97/23/EC, which is what i needed,

on the other hand, and excuse me if this is not so correct, but what this directive has to do with the standard EN 13445?
is the EN 13445 a common stardard that has to be accomplished or just a guide (recommended?

thanks again!

RE: european directive and regulation for pressure vessel

en 13445 is a published technical standard, and an official copy can be purchased from ISO or other standards organizations, depending on which language you prefer. You can get a free copy of the "preliminary EN 13445" by a google search for "prEN 13445"

One last thing..

What i do not find it clear is if EN 13445 stands for pressure vessels of all materials or just for those made of steel (we manufacture in fibre-glass)

the materials part is about steel, but not sure about the whole directive...

thanks again!

RE: european directive and regulation for pressure vessel

I think there is a seperate standard for glass reinforced vessels.

Take a look at http://www.eng-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=281 the faq will direct you to the official ped web site, from here you can find harmonised stadards for pressure vessels and related standards.

Thanks!

I have been checking and sending some emails ... There is no standard for pressure vessels made of glass reinforced. Only those manufactured with rowing are considered in the standards.

RE: european directive and regulation for pressure vessel

Hi,
We are manufacturing pressure vessels according the European Directive of pressure eqipment (PED).

You can find the directive itself at:

ec.europa.eu/enterprise/pressure_equipment/index_en.html

There are lots of standards involved and you have to pay to get them

Best Regards
Gary

Hi,

Yes you are right. I read about that directive. We were looking for a standard for a more precise design guideline.

I have changed some mails with some people who are in charge of the standards, and did not find a standard for manufacturing and design of pressure vessels for glass reinforved plastics pressure vessels apart from rowing which is not our case.

If I am not wrong, the EN 13445 is not for reinfored plastic, but it is an excellent document for steel vessels.

regards

Jesurra
