27、nditions. For this purpose, the designer shall determine the appropriate materials, heat treatments and protections. Magnesium alloys are prohibited. 6.3 Vessel The manufacturer shall obtain and record the analysis and testing certificates for the materials used to manufacture the vessels. The inspe
28、ction documents shall provide the composition of the material and results of the chemical analysis and the results of the mechanical tests in accordance with EN 10204. The vessel shall be made of metal and its design shall comply with the requirements of 7.2. If a material other than metal is used,
29、the manufacturer must show evidence that this material is compliant to the requirements set forth in this standard. Dedicated test procedures for this material must be developed by the supplier. 6.4 Extinguishing and pressurising agents The products used shall comply with the applicable standards an

40、-pressure 7.3.1 Pressure-relief safety device Pressure levels for activation of the pressure relief safety device shall be: minimum: pressure equivalent to 105 % of the pressure at maximum survival temperature, maximum: pressure equivalent to the test pressure (7.2.3). prEN 4649:20088 7.3.2 Fire ext
41、inguisher without a pressure-relief safety device In case of over pressure, no mechanical element shall be ejected from the fire extinguisher and the fire extinguisher shall remain in its bracket. 7.4 Pressure indicating device The reading range of the pressure indicating device shall comprise (see
42、Figure 1): a zero reference (to indicate zero pressure). If there is a needle stop, it shall be below the zero reference; a green zone (4) corresponding to the pressures of the whole operating temperature range in accordance with the Figure 1. Key 1 Stop 2 Red 3 Rounded-off to 0,5 bar 4 Green P(T mi
43、n.)= Pressure at minimum operating temperature P(T max.)= Pressure at maximum operating temperature Figure 1 The pressures are rounded off to the nearest half-bar or bar. The zones located on either side of the green zone are red. To ensure that the pressure indication is readable, the characteristi
44、cs shall be as follows: the needle movement across the pressure zone shall allow a clear reading; a mark shall show the pressure at the temperature of 20 C. NOTE An indicating device giving the same indications as mentioned above is also acceptable. prEN 4649:20089 7.5 Pick-up device The pick-up dev
