A question with regard to the applicability of the Pressure System Safety Regulations.
As many of you will be aware, one of the criteria for the PSSR to fully apply, is the is the 'bar x litre' value to be 250 or greater.
My question is, can you 'lower' the capacity value used in this equation by taking into account the presence of a 'solid' material within the vessel i.e. in this case, the desiccant?
The nominal capacity of a drier might be 30 litres (say), but when you fill with desiccant, the 'remaining' space might be 2 litres.
I think I know the answer but would just be interested in the view on any PSSR specialists in the forum.
Thanks!
