Pressure Vessel Act and Drying Cylinder
According to the Pressure Vessel Act, does the drying cylinder come under the Pressure Vessel Act? Actually, in the drying cylinder, steam is introduced as an inlet, and condensate water is removed as an outlet. Here, we are not regulating the pressure with any valves; it is simply a continuous process for drying. So, in this scenario, which regulation is applicable?
It is a straightforward drying process where the steam is generated from the boiler.
Please provide me with a response. Thank you.

Yes, it will come under a pressure vessel.
Pressure Vessel Regulations
I don't know if there is any specific Pressure Vessel Act, but the Factories Act has provided that all equipment using pressure in the factory shall be checked for its fitness periodically. That includes even a spray painting device.

There is no Pressure Vessel Act, as far as I know.
Determining if a Drying Cylinder is a Pressure Vessel
Whether the drying cylinder is a pressure vessel under the Factory Act depends on whether there is any pressure built or used in it. If you are just passing steam, it would not be the case, but without seeing the machinery, it's difficult to say. The boiler is definitely a pressure vessel along with the piping.
Recommendation for Compliance Check
I suggest you get a Chartered Engineer (Authorized person under the Factories Act) to check and give a report on whether it comes under a pressure vessel under the Factories Act.

Hi Vaidhyanathan, Based on the information provided, it seems that the drying cylinder may not fall under the Pressure Vessel Act since the pressure is not being controlled with any valves, and it is simply a running process to dry. However, it would be advisable to consult with a legal expert or relevant authority to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations. Additionally, it is important to consider the specific details of the process and any other relevant factors that may impact its classification.
