1 Scope
1.1 This document is applicable to simple unfired steel pressure vessels, referred to as “vessel” in this
document, designed for air braking equipment and auxiliary pneumatic equipment for railway rolling
stock (see Clause 13).
It defines three types of vessel A, B and C (see Table 1) corresponding to the current practice of
European railway networks.
1.2 The vessels in this document are:
a) made from a single shell;
b) made from non-alloy steel;
c) fabricated by welding;
d) used at a maximum working pressure of 15 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 5.1.4.1.2);
h) designed for a working temperature of between −40 °C and +100 °C;
i) fastened to vehicles:
1) by straps for types A and B vessels,
2) by welded brackets for types B and C vessels.
1.3 In normal service, a momentary overpressure of 10 % of PS, the maximum working pressure PS,
is permitted.
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 type A vessels;

This essential safety requirement may be met as follows:
a) For types A, B and C vessels
— by carrying out impact bending tests at the minimum temperature of −40 °C, at the
responsibility of the material manufacturer;
— or by using steels for which the appropriate guarantee of energy absorbed at break at the
minimum temperature of −40 °C is given by a particular standard;
— or at a temperature T* equal to or less than that obtained by extrapolation using the graph
from Figure 1.
b) For type B vessels only
by ensuring that brittle fracture does not occur at the minimum service temperature −40 °C, using
the fracture mechanics theory through the use of a recognized standard or code and by applying
knowledge of the physical and metallurgical properties at the temperature T of a steel defined in a
specific standard, whilst taking into account the stresses (primary and secondary stresses) and the
thickness of the materials of the vessel.

All unpressurized parts of welded vessels shall be of materials that are compatible with that of the
components to which they are welded.
To this end, for steel vessels, supports and accessories fitted by welding on, the shells and ends shall be
made of non-alloy steel which meets the following requirements:
C ≤ 0,25 %, S ≤ 0,05 %, P ≤ 0,05 % and

4.3 Welding consumables
The welding consumables used for welding onto the vessels or welding the vessels themselves shall be
suitable and compatible with the parent materials.
They shall correspond to EN ISO 14341:2011.
5 Design
5.1 Shell and ends
5.1.1 General
The vessels are of simple geometrical form, composed of a cylindrical body of circular cross-section and
two outwardly dished torispherical ends.
The design of the vessels shall take into account the installation and maintenance conditions. The
installation and maintenance conditions shall be given by the manufacturer or the user.
NOTE Examples of installation and maintenance requirements are given in informative Annexes B, C and D.
5.1.2 Design of the shell
Shells are generally made from a single sheet. If the shell is made of several welded parts, the number of
circular welds shall be kept to a minimum.
Longitudinal weld seams of parts of the shell shall:
— not be located on the lower part of the vessel defined by an angle of 30° on either side of the
vertical axis (see Figure 2);
— be sufficiently far apart such as to form an angle greater than 40 ° (see example in Figure 3).
All welds, even of a temporary nature, located outside the designed seams are prohibited.

5.1.3 Design of the ends
5.1.3.1 Shape and dimensions of the ends
5.1.3.1.1 General
The torispherical ends shall be made from a single sheet.
Dishing and flanging shall be carried out by a mechanical forming procedure, for example by pressing or
spinning. Hand forming is not permitted.
The torispherical end (see Figure 4) shall meet the requirements of 5.1.3.1.2 or 5.1.3.1.3, respectively.

5.1.3.2 Heat treatment of ends after forming
Steel ends obtained by cold forming:
c) the nominal sheet thicknesses of which are equal to or less than 6 mm, can be used without
postforming heat treatment;
a) the nominal sheet thicknesses of which are greater than 6 mm and not more than 8 mm, shall
undergo postforming heat treatment if the minimum temperature of the impact bending test (V-
notch) required is less than −10 °C;
b) the nominal sheet thicknesses of which are greater than 8 mm, shall not be used without
postforming heat treatment.
Where a heat treatment is required (see a), b) and c)), it is a normalizing treatment after cold forming,
i.e. heating beyond the range of critical temperatures followed by air cooling.
The heating temperature shall be greater than the upper limit of the critical range (usually called
point A3) but as close to it as possible.
For the steels specified in Clause 4, the heat treatment temperature is between 890 °C and 950 °C. If this
range does not feature in the standard, the actual normalizing temperature should be stand by the steel
producer.
5.1.4 Calculation of shell and end thickness
5.1.4.1 Type A vessels
5.1.4.1.1 General
The nominal thicknesses “e” of the shells and ends shall be such that:
e ≥ e + c + S
c
The value of “e ” shall in no case be less than 2 mm.
c
The corrosion allowance “S” is taken as equal to 1 mm.
The manufacturer shall apply a correction to allow for thinning resulting from the manufacturing
process.
