1.2.1.5 For pressure vessels of cast steel applicable to compression shell, design pressure shall not exceed 6.4 MPa; for those applicable to other pressure components such as flange or flat cover, design pressure may be 10.0 MPa at maximum. Lower limit of design temperature is above - 20℃ (excluding -20℃); upper limit of design temperature: 475 ℃ for carbon and low alloy cast steel; upper limit of design temperature of chrome molybdenum alloy and stainless cast steel is the same as that of plate material or pipe material with the same designation, see Steel Pressure Vessels (GB 150-89).
1.2.2 Requirements for limitation of diameter of pressure vessels for grey cast iron are as follows:
If internal design pressure is less than or equal to 0.3 MPa, inner diameter is less than or equal to 3000 mm;
If internal design pressure is less than or equal to 0.8 MPa, inner diameter is less than or equal to 1000 mm;
If external design pressure is less than or equal to 0.8 MPa, inner diameter is less than or equal to 2000 mm.
1.2.3 Application scope of this standard refers to vessels and cast steel or cast iron parts connected as a whole. Various pipe fittings and pipelines apart from the first flange sealing surface and the first threaded joint connected with casting vessels, and the first sealing surface connected with special connecting piece or pipe fitting are beyond the scope of this standard. So are the plate material, pipe material, bar rolled by other non-casting parts connected with casting vessels such as carbon steel, low alloy steel, alloy steel or stainless steel or parts made by forging process.
1.2.4 Cast iron materials shall not be used for pressure components of pressure vessels of inflammable medium and medium with extremely, highly or moderately hazardous toxicity, or elements of atmospheric vessel with pressure not less than 0.005 MPa, or pressure components of pipe shell heat recovery boiler.
1.2.5 This standard is not applicable to the following various vessels:
1.2.5.1 Directly-fired pressure vessels;
1.2.5.2 Vessels suffering radiation effects;
1.2.5.3 Vessels handled frequently;
1.2.5.4 Vessels requiring fatigue analysis.
1.2.6 Classification of pressure vessels
Cast steel or cast iron vessels in accordance with 3 requirements of Technologic Supervision Regulations on Safety of Pressure Vessels belong to pressure vessels under the supervision of the Regulation.
Cast steel or cast iron vessels with design pressure less than 0.005MPa are atmospheric vessels.
