What is PD CEN/TR 13445-101 - Unfired pressure vessels about?
PD CEN/TR 13445-101 is a technical report that presents an application of EN 13445 through an example of the design and fabrication of an unfired pressure vessel. Every step is described as far as possible:
- Material choice
- Design and calculation
- Fabrication
- Inspection and testing
Using the following part of EN 13445:
- EN 13445-1:2009
- EN 13445-2:2009
- EN 13445-3:2009
- EN 13445-4:2009
- EN 13445-5:2009
As applicable, some choices for design or fabrication are made according to “the state of art” practice. Some parts of EN 13445 are reproduced in order to show which requirements are relevant to the design and fabrication of the target vessel.
Who is PD CEN/TR 13445-101 - Unfired pressure vessels for?
PD CEN/TR 13445-101 on Unfired pressure vessels is useful for:
- Machinery (pressurized equipment)
- The automation industry
- The electrical industry
- Hot waste storage tanks
- Diving cylinders
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 13445-101 - Unfired pressure vessels?
Unfired pressure vessels have a track record in preventing corrosion through heat exchange. Which means that they are not exposed to combustion or burner fire. Since it is an unfired vessel, there is a lesser chance of overheating. Unfired pressure vessels are helpful in preventing corrosion by being an instrument of heat exchange. Unfired pressure vessels are very helpful in preventing corrosion by being an instrument of heat exchange. With these vessels, the occurrence of corrosion due to extremely high temperatures and other related factors can be prevented. Unfired pressure vessels can act as heat exchangers, where the heat, and cool fluids once combined with another fluid. Unfired pressure vessels consist of several chambers and tube bundles. Another type of unfired pressure vessel is a steam generator which produces steam with a piping system.
PD CEN/TR 13445-101 addresses the minimum requirements for materials, calculations and design and the minimum requirements for fabrication. PD CEN/TR 13445-101 mentions test methods for inspection and other assessments.
