TSG R0004-2009 Supervision Regulation on Safety Technology for Stationary Pressure Vessel
Basic Information
Scope
This regulation applies to pressure vessels that meet the following conditions simultaneously: (1) A working pressure greater than or equal to 0.1 MPa (Note 1-2); (2) A product of working pressure and volume greater than or equal to 2.5 MPa·L (Note 1-3); (3) A medium contained in the vessel being a gas, a liquefied gas, or a liquid with a maximum working temperature equal to or higher than its standard boiling point (Note 1-4). Among these, ultra-high pressure vessels shall comply with the provisions of the *Regulations on the Safety Supervision of Ultra-High Pressure Vessels*, non-metallic pressure vessels shall comply with the provisions of the *Regulations on the Safety Supervision of Non-Metallic Pressure Vessels*, and simple pressure vessels shall comply with the provisions of the *Regulations on the Safety Supervision of Simple Pressure Vessels*. Note 1-2: Working pressure refers to the maximum pressure (gauge pressure) that a pressure vessel may reach during normal operation. Note 1-3: Volume refers to the geometric volume of the pressure vessel, calculated based on the dimensions specified in the design drawings (excluding manufacturing tolerances) and rounded to the nearest integer. Generally, the volume of internal components permanently connected within the pressure vessel shall be deducted. Note 1-4: For vessels containing a liquid with a maximum working temperature below its standard boiling point, if the product of the gas phase space volume and working pressure exceeds 2.5 MPa·L, these vessels also fall within the scope of this regulation. Special provisions on the scope of application: Units using pressure vessels shall refer to the relevant provisions of this regulation for management and be responsible for the safety management of pressure vessels within the scope of this article. Pressure vessels that only need to meet the general principles and design and manufacturing requirements of this regulation: Within the scope of
