 Why is 10CFR851 concerned with
pressure safety?
•Over pressurization, operator error, poor
construction or maintenance can result in
leakage or rupture failures:
–Pose safety risk to personnel
–May jeopardize other critical components
–May result in release of hazardous
pollution
•Hazards include:
–Explosion
–Fires
–Poisoning
–Scalding

 Defining a Pressure System

To define a JLab Pressure System, the Pressure

Systems Committee:
• started with the 10CFR851 definition
• applied the exclusions specified in the ASME BPV
and B31 Codes
• considered the types of systems at JLab, and
• added exclusions covered under other regulations
or ES&H Chapters
JLab Definition of Pressure System
Pressure System and Vacuum Systems:
Any container that holds a liquid or gas under internal (positive) or
external (negative or vacuum) pressure different than
atmospheric pressure, regardless of the magnitude of the
pressure.
• pressure and vacuum systems possess potentially lethal
hazards
• examples of pressure systems include:
• gas systems for experimental detectors such as drift chambers
even if the gas pressure is low
• vacuum chambers
• gas and liquid target systems
• cryogenic and compressed gas dewars and cylinders
• vacuum systems can be especially hazardous when backfilling
or purging
