A hyperbaric chamber data plate is a plate affixed to the exterior of the chamber and generally provides essential information about its specifications, safety standards, and operational guidelines, including:
Manufacture Date: The date the chamber was constructed or certified.
Manufacturer: The name of the company that built the chamber and its location.
Model Number: The specific model identification for the chamber.
Serial Number: A unique identifier for tracking and records.
NB Symbol: Symbol indicating that the chamber has been registered with the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors and meets specific safety and inspection standards for pressure vessels.
Unfired Pressure Vessel Symbol: ASME "U" stamp that indicates that the chamber meets the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standards for unfired pressure vessels.
Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP): Indicates the highest pressure the chamber is designed to safely operate at, usually expressed in pounds per square inch (PSI) or atmospheres (ATA).
Minimum Design Metal Temperature (MDMT): Indicates the lowest temperature at which the materials used in the chamber's construction can safely operate without compromising their structural integrity.
Operating Temperature Range: The safe range of temperatures for the chamber’s operation.
Canadian Registration Number (CRN): A unique identifier assigned to pressure vessels, including hyperbaric chambers, indicating the chamber has been approved for use in Canada.
This data helps ensure that the chamber is operated within safe limits and is essential for regular maintenance and compliance checks.
