Pressure Equipment
Pressure equipment with allowable pressure 200 bar (2900 psi)
Pressure instruments with a flange and threaded boss that do not have a pressurized housing
do not fall within the scope of the Pressure Equipment Directive, irrespective of the maximum
allowable pressure.
Reasons:
According to Article 2, point 5 of EU Directive 2014/68/EU, pressure accessories are defined
as "devices with an operational function and having pressure-bearing housings".
If a pressure instrument does not have a pressure-bearing housing (no identifiable pressure
chamber of its own), there is no pressure accessory present within the meaning of the
Directive.
