AS 1210-1997 PRESSURE VESSELS Scope This Standard sets out minimum requirements for the materials, design, manufacture, testing, inspection, certification and despatch of fired and unfired pressure vessels constructed in ferrous or non-ferrous metals by welding, brazing, casting, forging, or cladding and lining and includes the application of non-integral fittings required for safe and proper functioning of pressure vessels. This Standard also specifies requirements for non- metallic vessels and metallic vessels with non-metallic linings. For detailed requirements for metallic materials, manufacture and testing, reference should be made to the relevant material Standards, and to AS 4458, AS 3992 and AS 4037. The requirements of this Standard have been formulated on the basis that the required examinations and inspection during manufacture are performed and that appropriate reasonable care is taken of the vessels during subsequent stages in the life of vessels including appropriate inspection for deterioration. Abstract Specifies requirements for the materials, design, manufacture, testing, inspection certification and despatch of pressure vessels for pressures up to 21 MPa and temperatures within the limits for the various materials and components.

Scope

This Standard sets out minimum requirements for the materials, design, manufacture, testing, inspection, certification and despatch of fired and unfired pressure vessels constructed in ferrous or non-ferrous metals by welding, brazing, casting, forging, or cladding and lining and includes the application of non-integral fittings required for safe and proper functioning of pressure vessels. This Standard also specifies requirements for non-metallic vessels and metallic vessels with non-metallic linings.

For detailed requirements for metallic materials, manufacture and testing, reference should be made to the relevant material Standards, and to AS 4458, AS 3992 and AS 4037.

The requirements of this Standard have been formulated on the basis that the required examinations and inspection during manufacture are performed and that appropriate reasonable care is taken of the vessels during subsequent stages in the life of vessels including appropriate inspection for deterioration.

Abstract

Specifies requirements for the materials, design, manufacture, testing, inspection certification and despatch of pressure vessels for pressures up to 21 MPa and temperatures within the limits for the various materials and components. Welded, forged, brazed, and cast constructions in ferrous and non-ferrous metals are covered. Requirements for non-metallic vessels and metallic vessels with non-metallic linings are given. Detailed requirements for manufacture, heat treatment, welding and testing are covered in AS 4458, AS 3992 and AS 4037. The specific design requirements are based on a simplified engineering approach and are intended to be the standard methods of design, but provision is also made for other methods to be used provided that the validity of the design is satisfactorily established.
