  2. Pressure Equipment Directive (EU) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_Equipment...

    The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU (formerly 97/23/EC) [1] of the EU sets out the standards for the design and fabrication of pressure equipment ("pressure equipment" means steam boilers, pressure vessels, piping, safety valves and other components and assemblies subject to pressure loading) generally over one liter in volume and having a maximum pressure more than 0.5 bar gauge.

  3. National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Board_of_Boiler...

    Additionally, it indicates the quality system has been audited and the equipment meets internationally recognized standards for preventing potential overpressure conditions in boilers and pressure vessels. Testing is also performed to evaluate a company’s ability to properly repair pressure relief valves. Accredited repair organizations ...

  5. ISO/IEC 17025 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_17025

    ISO/IEC 17025 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories is the main standard used by testing and calibration laboratories. In most countries, ISO/IEC 17025 is the standard for which most labs must hold accreditation in order to be deemed technically competent.

  6. High-integrity pressure protection system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-integrity_pressure...

    These standards prescribe the requirements for the over-pressure protection systems, and their components, in gas plants. Not only the response time and accuracy of the loop but also safety factors for over-sizing of the actuator of the final element are dictated by these standards.

  7. Compliance (physiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compliance_(physiology)

    Vasodilation and vasoconstriction are complex phenomena; they are functions not merely of the fluid mechanics of pressure and tissue elasticity but also of active homeostatic regulation with hormones and cell signaling, in which the body produces endogenous vasodilators and vasoconstrictors to modify its vessels' compliance.

  8. ASME BPE - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASME_BPE

    The ASME BPE is a voluntary consensus standard written by a team of over three hundred balanced subject matter experts. These individuals provide their knowledge and experience to drive technology and innovation forward safely and responsibly for the manufacturing of modern biopharmaceuticals.

  9. Relief valve - Wikipedia

    A relief valve DN25 on cooling water pipe from heat exchanger Schematic diagram of a conventional spring-loaded pressure relief valve. A relief valve or pressure relief valve (PRV) is a type of safety valve used to control or limit the pressure in a system; excessive pressure might otherwise build up and create a process upset, instrument or equipment failure, explosion, or fire.
