Pressure Vessel and Safety Valve Register

A free printable pressure vessel register: each air receiver with its plate limit and written scheme, its safety valves, every examination and the actions from it.

First page of the Pressure Vessel and Safety Valve Register — Keep every receiver and vessel, its safety valves and its examination dates on one register. Nothing then runs past the date its written scheme gives without someone seeing it.

What this sheet is for

Keep every receiver and vessel, its safety valves and its examination dates on one register. Nothing then runs past the date its written scheme gives without someone seeing it.

Who it is for

Workshop and site managers, maintenance engineers and anyone responsible for air receivers, pressure vessels and the safety valves fitted to them.

How to use it

  1. List each receiver or vessel and copy its safe operating limit and volume exactly as they appear on its plate or written scheme.
  2. List each safety valve with its set pressure as stamped and the item it protects.
  3. Record every examination with the report number and the next due date the report gives.
  4. Write each action from a report on page 2 and close it with the date it was done.

What is on the sheet

2 pages, in this order:

Page 1

Printed under the title: Every air receiver and pressure vessel on site with its safety valves, its written scheme and each examination, so nothing runs past the date its scheme gives.

The plate and the scheme set the figures. No pressures, volumes or intervals are printed: copy each limit exactly as it appears on the plate or the written scheme of examination, and take the examination dates from that scheme. Which vessels need one depends on the rules where you are.

Questions

Why are no pressures or examination intervals printed?

Because they belong to each vessel: the limits are on its plate and in its written scheme of examination, and the scheme sets how often it is examined. Copy them across exactly rather than relying on a figure from somewhere else.

Does every compressor receiver need a written scheme?

That depends on the rules where you are and on the size and pressure of the system. Check with your insurer, your competent person or the regulator; the sheet records the scheme where you have one.
