Aerospace and Rocketry

Launch vehicles and their ground infrastructure run on pressure. Cryogenic propellants, high pressure helium and nitrogen for pressurization and purging, propellant loading skids, run tanks, test stands and static fire facilities all depend on pressure vessels, piping and fittings that must be registered before they can be installed and operated in Canada. Titan Research Group helps aerospace and launch companies get that equipment through the Canadian Registration Number (CRN) process and into service on schedule.

Most of this equipment is designed and built outside Canada, usually to EN standards under the European Pressure Equipment Directive or to other international codes. That is where launch projects run into trouble. Canadian provincial jurisdictions register pressure equipment against CSA B51 and the ASME codes, and a CE mark or PED certificate is not accepted on its own. Equipment that was fully compliant where it was built can arrive at a Canadian launch site with no legal path to operation. We work with clients early, ideally before purchase orders are placed, to map each item of equipment to the applicable Canadian requirement and decide whether it can be registered as designed, needs supplementary calculations or documentation, or should be specified differently at the outset.

The Equipment We Register, Managed to Your Launch Schedule

Our engineers cover the full range of equipment found at a launch complex and its supporting facilities: cryogenic storage tanks and run tanks for liquid oxygen, liquid methane and liquid nitrogen, high pressure gas storage and tube trailers for helium and nitrogen, propellant and pressurant piping systems to ASME B31.3, valves, fittings and flexible connections registered as Category H fittings, pressure relief devices and their sizing, and vacuum jacketed transfer lines. We also advise on where the boundary sits between flight hardware, which is typically treated differently under provincial pressure equipment regulation, and the fixed ground support equipment that must be registered, so clients register what they need to and no more.

Launch programs run on hard dates, and pressure equipment registration is often on the critical path. We manage the submissions, respond to reviewer questions on the client's behalf, and coordinate with the authorized inspection agency and the provincial regulator so that registration, installation inspection and commissioning line up with the construction schedule rather than delaying it.

If your organization is bringing launch or test infrastructure to Canada, contact us to discuss a compliance strategy for your pressure equipment.

FAQs About CRN Industries

What industries require CRN registration in Canada?
CRN registration is required for pressure equipment used in industries where safety and regulatory compliance are critical. Titan Research Group supports a wide range of sectors, including oil & gas, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, agriculture, chemical and industrial gas manufacturing, power generation, transportation, mining, defence, healthcare, forestry, and more. These industries CRN registration serves must make sure that pressure equipment meets provincial and national standards.
Why do so many different industries need a CRN?
Pressure equipment, like boilers, pressure vessels, piping systems, and fittings, operates at high pressure and carries risk if poorly designed or maintained. A CRN confirms the design has been reviewed and registered by a safety authority, so it can be legally used in regulated environments. This protects workers, assets, and the public, especially in sectors with high-risk processes such as chemical manufacturing or pharmaceutical production.
Do you serve both conventional and emerging industries?
Yes. Our CRN services extend beyond traditional sectors like oil & gas and water treatment to modern and evolving fields, including biotech, renewable power, electric vehicle manufacturing, aerospace, and advanced food production processes.
Is CRN needed for every type of pressure equipment across these industries?
In most provinces and territories, any pressure equipment designed to operate above 1 bar (14.5-15 psi) must have a CRN before it can be installed or used. This includes pressure vessels, fittings, and piping systems designed for industry-specific applications. TRG helps manufacturers determine which components require registration and manages the application process on their behalf.
How does CRN registration help industries expand across Canada?
CRN harmonisation agreements mean that once a design is accepted in one province, it’s often recognised by others. This makes it easier for companies serving multiple CRN industries to register designs nation-wide without duplicating reviews, reducing time and cost. Our experts manage and coordinate these applications so your products meet safety requirements everywhere you plan to operate.
Do all industries require the same CRN process?
The core CRN process is similar across industries, but the documentation, calculations, and testing needed can vary based on design standards, material types, and intended use. Titan Research Group customises each registration strategy for the unique characteristics of the industry and equipment involved.
Do oil and gas facilities require CRN registration for pressure equipment?
Yes. Pressure vessels, piping systems, heat exchangers, and fittings used in oil and gas operations must be CRN-registered before installation in Canada to meet provincial safety regulations.
Why is CRN required for food and beverage processing equipment?
Many food and beverage systems operate under pressure, including steam and CIP/SIP systems. CRN registration confirms these systems comply with Canadian safety codes before operation.
Do pharmaceutical and biotech systems require CRN approval?
Yes. Equipment such as bioreactors, autoclaves, clean steam systems, and pressure piping typically require CRN registration to meet Canadian regulatory and safety requirements.
Is CRN required for pressurised tanks and piping in water treatment plants?
Yes. Pressurised vessels, filtration systems, and piping used in water and wastewater treatment must be CRN-registered to comply with provincial pressure equipment regulations.
