Fire case Overpressure in Europe
Fire case Overpressure in Europe
(OP)
Does anyone know what the allowable overpressure is for the fire case per the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED)? Their "Guideline 5/2" is clear as mud. Is it 0%, 10% or something greater than 10%?

However, I've seen blanket statements that ALL overpressure scenarios are to be restricted by 110% of PS.
Confusing at best.

Anyway i disagree with the "arbejdstilsynet" but as i said didn't see the need for a confrontation on the subject. Usually i do offshore where they are not the authority.

Locally, at least in all the Scandinavian countries, similar organizations to the danish one have to 'certify' or give final approval to process equipment or factories as a 'whole unified system', including all safety aspects.
In such cases extra precations and safety factors not directly put down in figures in regulations might (I said might) be set down as requirement.
Better to clarify or give in advance warning of your exact interpretation of rules, if in doubt.
