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

1.1   This document is applicable to simple unfired aluminium alloy pressure vessels, referred to as "vessel" in this document, designed for air braking equipment and auxiliary pneumatic equipment for railway rolling stock (see 1.6).
1.2   The vessels to this document are:
a)   made from a single shell;
b)   made from aluminium alloy;
c)   fabricated by welding;
d)   used at a maximum working pressure of 10 bar;
e)   the product of the maximum working pressure (in bar) and the volume (in litre): 50 bar litres < PV ≤ 10 000 bar litres;
f)   made of a cylindrical part of circular cross section called the shell with two outwardly dished torispherical ends, that is two dished ends with the same axis of rotation. This document therefore does not apply to vessels with one or two flat ends or those made up of several compartments;
g)   calculated with a design pressure P (See 5.1.4.2);
h)   designed for a working temperature of between −50 °C and +100 °C [+65 °C for certain grades of aluminium alloy (see 4.1.1)];
i)   fastened to the vehicles by straps.
1.3   In normal service, a momentary overpressure of 1 bar of the maximum working pressure is permitted (10 % of PS).
1.4   This document applies to the vessel proper, from the inlet connection to the outlet connection and to all other connections and fittings belonging to the vessel.
1.5   This document gives the requirements to be met for the calculation, design, fabrication, inspection during fabrication and certification of the vessel, and fittings for assembly to the vehicle.
These requirements cannot be written in sufficient detail to ensure good workmanship or proper construction. Each manufacturer is therefore responsible for taking every necessary step to make sure that the quality of workmanship and construction is such as to ensure compliance with good engineering practice.
This document gives:
a)   in Annex B, recommendations for assembly to the vehicles;
b)   in Annex C, recommendations for the service surveillance of vessels.
1.6   The requirements of this document apply to vessels designed to be fitted to rail vehicles used on the main national networks, urban networks, underground railways, trams, private networks (regional railways, company railways, etc.).

f)   bestehen aus einem kreiszylindrischen Teil, genannt "Mantel", der mit zwei nach außen gewölbten Böden, d. h. mit zwei gewölbten Böden mit derselben Drehachse, verschlossen wird. Dieses Dokument gilt daher nicht für Behälter, die ein oder zwei ebene Böden haben oder aus mehreren Kammern bestehen;

1.5   Dieses Dokument enthält die Festlegungen, die bei der Berechnung, der Konstruktion, der Herstellung, der Überwachung während der Herstellung, der Zertifizierung sowie dem Zubehör für den Anbau an die Fahrzeuge einzuhalten sind.
Diese Anforderungen können nicht bis ins einzelne so niedergeschrieben werden, dass sie eine gute Ausführung und Herstellung sicherstellen. Jeder Hersteller muss daher selbst alle notwendigen Schritte unternehmen, um sicherzustellen, dass die Güte der Herstellung und die Ausführung einen Stand erreichen, der mit einer guten ingenieurmäßigen Praxis vereinbar ist.
Dieses Dokument enthält:
a)   im Anhang B: Empfehlungen für den Anbau an die Fahrzeuge;
b)   im Anhang C: Empfehlungen für die Überwachung der Behälter im Betrieb.
1.6   Die Festlegungen dieses Dokuments gelten für die Behälter, mit denen die Schienenfahrzeuge der großen nationalen Bahnen, der Stadtbahnen, der Untergrundbahnen, der Straßenbahnen, der Privatbahnen (Regionalbahnen, Bahnen von Unternehmen usw.) ausgerüstet sind.

1 Scope

1.1 This document is applicable to simple unfired aluminium alloy pressure vessels, referred to as

“vessel” in this document, designed for air braking equipment and auxiliary pneumatic equipment for

railway rolling stock (see 1.6).
1.2 The vessels to this document are:
a) made from a single shell;
b) made from aluminium alloy;
c) fabricated by welding;
d) used at a maximum working pressure of 10 bar;

e) the product of the maximum working pressure (in bar) and the volume (in litre):

50 bar litres < PV ≤ 10 000 bar litres;

f) made of a cylindrical part of circular cross-section called the shell with two outwardly dished

torispherical ends, that is two dished ends with the same axis of rotation. This document therefore

does not apply to vessels with one or two flat ends or those made up of several compartments;

g) calculated with a design pressure P (See 5.1.4.2);

h) designed for a working temperature of between −50 °C and +100 °C [+65 °C for certain grades of

aluminium alloy (see 4.1.2)];
i) fastened to the vehicles by straps.

1.3 In normal service, a momentary overpressure of 1 bar of the maximum working pressure is

permitted (10 % of PS).

1.4 This document applies to the vessel proper, from the inlet connection to the outlet connection and

to all other connections and fittings belonging to the vessel.

1.5 This document gives the requirements to be met for the calculation, design, fabrication,

inspection during fabrication and certification of the vessel, and fittings for assembly to the vehicle.

These requirements cannot be written in sufficient detail to ensure good workmanship or proper

construction. Each manufacturer is therefore responsible for taking every necessary step to make sure

that the quality of workmanship and construction is such as to ensure compliance with good

engineering practice.
This document gives:
a) in Annex B, recommendations for assembly to the vehicles;
b) in Annex C, recommendations for the service surveillance of vessels.

1.6 The requirements of this document apply to vessels designed to be fitted to rail vehicles used on

the main national networks, urban networks, underground railways, trams, private networks (regional

railways, company railways, etc.).
