Applicable pressure vessels

This Japanese Industrial Standard applies to the construction and fixtures of pressure vessels with the design pressure of less than 30 MPa.

The pressure vessels refer to vessels which retain pressure or contain fluid generating pressure, or to those which retain external pressure (hereafter referred to as "pressure vessels"). However, pressure vessels given in a) to f) below are excluded.

NOTE: The pressure, unless otherwise specified, means gauge pressure.

a) Those within the scope of other Japanese Industrial Standards 1)

b) Those made of non-metallic materials

c) Those used for atomic energy

d) Those with riveted or soldered structure

e) Those exposed to direct fire

f) Those with special structures 2) or for special applications 3)

Notes 1) Examples are shown below.
