Kryo-Behälter - Ortsfeste, vakuum-isolierte Behälter - Teil 1: Grundanforderungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Grundanforderungen für ortsfeste vakuum-isolierte Kryo-Behälter fest, die für einen Betrieb mit einem höchstzulässigen Druck von über 0,5 bar ausgelegt sind.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für ortsfeste vakuum-isolierte Kryo-Behälter mit Fluiden, die in 3.1 definiert sind.
Für ortsfeste vakuum-isolierte Kryo-Behälter, die für einen zulässigen Druck bis zu 0,5 bar ausgelegt sind, kann diese Norm als Richtlinie angewendet werden.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für vor Ort gebaute Behälter.

Récipients cryogéniques - Récipients fixes, isolés sous vide - Partie 1: Prescriptions fondamentales

La présente norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions fondamentales relatives aux récipients cryogéniques fixes, isolés sous vide, conçus pour une pression maximale admissible supérieure ou égale à 0,5 bar. La présente norme s'applique aux récipients cryogéniques fixes, isolés sous vide, pour des fluides tels que spécifiés en 3.1. Pour les récipients cryogéniques fixes, isolés sous vide, conçus pour une pression maximale admissible inférieure ou égale à 0,5 bar, la présente norme peut être utilisée comme guide.
