Idiots Guide to Identifying Pressurized Equipment

Hello
Was hoping that someone might save me some work and serious head scratching with Pressurized systems and equipment. I have to send a commication out to our units in order for them to identify pressurized equipment that may require a Written Scheme as it. Does anyone have anything in laymans terms?
Thanks

The chart in Appendix 1 of the ACOP, which is L122, is extremely useful.
Relevant fluids include gases, steam, and liquid nitrogen.
Examples of things that require Written Schemes include
Fancy coffee machines that deliver steam
Liquid nitrogen tanks that are pressurised where the liquid volume x the pressure exceeds 250 bar litres
Compressors, according to the same pressure volume product rule.
Fixed pipework attached to gas cylinders which are themselves greater than 250 bar litres. Note that the gas cylinder, if it is rented from a gas supplier does not belong to you, so the responsibility for the written scheme remains with the supplier.
