Abstract
A device for monitoring the use of a pressure container system of a piece of equipment, such as a motor vehicle, is designed to ascertain equipment-side usage data relating to previous use of the pressure container system. The device is additionally designed to compare the equipment-side usage data with equipment-external usage data relating to the previous use of the pressure container system and to initiate one or more measures relating to further use of the pressure container system on the basis of the comparison.

A device for monitoring the use of a pressure container system of an equipment, wherein the device is configured to:
- determine equipment-side usage data in relation to previous use of the pressure container system;
- compare the equipment-side usage data with equipment-external usage data in relation to the previous use of the pressure container system, wherein the equipment-side usage data and the equipment-external usage data indicate:
- a maximum pressure, a minimum pressure and/or a maximum pressure gradient caused during the previous use of the pressure container system;
- and/or
- a maximum and/or minimum temperature occurring during the previous use of the pressure container system;
- and
- initiate one or more measures in relation to further use of the pressure container system depending on the comparison.
