Overview
EN 286-1:1998 is a CEN European Standard titled Simple unfired pressure vessels designed to contain air or nitrogen - Part 1: Pressure vessels for general purposes. It applies to the design and manufacture of welded, simple unfired pressure vessels produced in series with a single compartment. The standard defines essential safety requirements (see Annex G) and covers vessels that include fabrication by welding (some designs may also use bolts) and that have simple geometries suited to straightforward production processes.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope of application: Vessels intended to contain air or nitrogen, manufactured in series and comprising a single compartment.
- Fabrication methods: Emphasis on welding as the primary fabrication route; bolt-assembled variants are explicitly acknowledged where applicable.
- Design simplicity: Targets vessels with simple geometry, enabling consistent, simple-to-use production procedures and repeatable manufacturing.
- Safety provisions: Essential safety requirements are consolidated in Annex G of the standard, forming the baseline for compliance.
- Harmonization: Implemented across national bodies (example: SIST EN 286-1:1998 in Slovenia), ensuring alignment with European regulatory expectations for this class of pressure vessels.
Note: The standard text specifies scope and structural requirements; detailed technical procedures (materials, testing protocols, allowable stresses) are set within the standard itself and related parts of the EN 286 series.
