What is EN 286-1:1998-Simple unfired pressure vessels designed to contain air or nitrogen – Part 1: Pressure vessels for general purposes
EN 286-1:1998 provides requirements and guidelines for the design, construction, testing, and marking of simple unfired pressure vessels designed to contain air or nitrogen. These pressure vessels are intended for general purposes and are not specifically designed for any particular application.
The standard applies to pressure vessels with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0.5 bar and a maximum volume of 10,000 liters. Pressure vessels that fall outside of these limits are subject to other standards.
In fact, It covers a range of topics related to the design, construction, testing, and marking of pressure vessels. Including:
Materials: The standard specifies requirements for the materials used in the construction of pressure vessels. Including minimum yield strength, ductility, and weldability.
Design: The standard provides guidelines for the design of pressure vessels. Including the calculation of minimum wall thickness, maximum allowable pressure, and safety factors.
Manufacturing: This standard specifies requirements for the manufacturing process of pressure vessels. Including welding, forming, and heat treatment.
Testing: The standard outlines procedures for testing pressure vessels. Including hydrostatic and pneumatic testing, to ensure that they meet the requirements of the standard.
Also, Marking: The EN 286-1:1998 requires pressure vessels to be marked with specific information. Including the maximum allowable pressure, volume, and year of manufacture.
What is EN 286-3:1994 – Simple unfired pressure vessels designed to contain air or nitrogen – Part 3: Steel pressure vessels designed for air braking equipment and auxiliary pneumatic equipment for railway rolling stock and it’s requirements
EN 286-3:1994 specifies the requirements for the design, construction, testing, and marking of simple unfired pressure vessels designed for air braking equipment. And auxiliary pneumatic equipment for railway rolling stock.
The standard applies to steel pressure vessels with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0.5 bar and a maximum volume of 150 liters. Therefore, These pressure vessels are used for the storage and supply of compressed air or nitrogen for use in the operation of air brakes and other auxiliary pneumatic equipment on railway rolling stock.
EN 286-3:1994 covers a range of requirements for the design, construction, testing, and marking of pressure vessels for railway rolling stock. Including:
Materials: The standard specifies the minimum requirements for the materials used in the construction of pressure vessels. Including minimum yield strength and weldability.
Design: The standard provides guidelines for the design of pressure vessels. Including the calculation of minimum wall thickness, maximum allowable pressure, and safety factors.
Manufacturing: The standard specifies requirements for the manufacturing process of pressure vessels. Including welding, forming, and heat treatment.
Testing: The standard outlines procedures for testing pressure vessels. Including hydrostatic and pneumatic testing. To ensure that they meet the requirements of the standard.
Finally, Marking: The standard requires pressure vessels to be marked with specific information. Including the maximum allowable pressure, volume, and year of manufacture.
EN 286-1:1998 provides a framework for the safe and reliable design, construction, testing, and marking of steel pressure vessels for air braking equipment. Also, auxiliary pneumatic equipment for railway rolling stock.
Therefore, The standard helps to ensure that these pressure vessels meet the necessary requirements for use in a railway environment. Which can help to prevent accidents and ensure the safe operation of railway rolling stock.
What is EN 286-4:1994-Simple unfired pressure vessels designed to contain air or nitrogen – Part 4: Aluminium alloy pressure vessels designed for air braking equipment and auxiliary pneumatic equipment for railway rolling stock and its requirements?
EN 286-4:1994 provides requirements for the design, construction, testing, and marking of simple unfired pressure vessels designed to contain air or nitrogen and made from aluminium alloy. Specifically, this standard covers aluminium alloy pressure vessels designed for air braking equipment and auxiliary pneumatic equipment for railway rolling stock.
Therefore, The standard applies to aluminium alloy pressure vessels with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0.5 bar and a maximum volume of 150 liters.
So, These pressure vessels are used for the storage and supply of compressed air or nitrogen for use in the operation of air brakes. And other auxiliary pneumatic equipment on railway rolling stock.
EN 286-4: covers a range of requirements for the design, construction, testing, and marking of aluminium alloy pressure vessels for railway rolling stock. Including:
Materials: The standard specifies the minimum requirements for the materials used in the construction of pressure vessels. Including the composition and mechanical properties of the aluminium alloy.
Design: The standard provides guidelines for the design of pressure vessels. Including the calculation of minimum wall thickness, maximum allowable pressure, and safety factors.
Manufacturing: The standard specifies requirements for the manufacturing process of pressure vessels. Including welding, forming, and heat treatment.
Testing: The standard outlines procedures for testing pressure vessels. Including hydrostatic and pneumatic testing. To ensure that they meet the requirements of the standard.
Also, Marking: The standard requires pressure vessels to be marked with specific information. Including the maximum allowable pressure, volume, and year of manufacture.
EN 286-4:1994 provides a framework for the safe and reliable design, construction, testing, and marking of aluminium alloy pressure vessels for air braking equipment. And auxiliary pneumatic equipment for railway rolling stock.
Therefore, The standard helps to ensure that these pressure vessels meet the necessary requirements for use in a railway environment. Which can help to prevent accidents and ensure the safe operation of railway rolling stock.
