Features: Pressure equipment refers to a general term for devices such as pressure vessels, pressure pipelines, pressure accessories, and pressure cookers that take fluid pressure as their primary load. This book closely aligns with the relevant directives and standards of the European Union, including Directive 97/23/EC on Pressure Equipment, EN13445 "Unfired Pressure Vessels," PD550 "Unfired Fusion Welded Pressure Vessels," and the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, among other internationally authoritative standards. Through comprehensive analysis and comparison, it provides a thorough introduction to the design, manufacturing, inspection, installation, and in-service inspection of pressure equipment. The book includes the full text of Directive 87/404/EEC on Simple Pressure Vessels and Directive 97/23/EC on Pressure Equipment. It serves as a reference for technicians engaged in pressure equipment management, research, design, manufacturing, and inspection, as well as for faculty and students in process equipment and control engineering and other related fields at universities and colleges.
