Significance of Pressure Vessel Inspection

A Pressure vessel contains fluids under intense pressure or vacuum. Due to this feature, a pressure vessel can be potentially dangerous if it fails. There are authorised inspectors for pressure vessels who specify any faults to ensure that the units are safe for use. Pressure vessel inspection is a detailed review of the same to assure that it complies with the technical standards.

Pressure Vessels can be dangerous if faulty

The massive expansion of energy released from a pressure vessel can cause devastating damage. Even a simple compressed air cylinder can claim lives if it explodes. But do you know that pressure vessels are everywhere in our daily life? From refineries to mineral processing plants, dry cleaners, wineries, hospitals, your local tire dealer and even the pressure cooker all fall in the category of pressure vessels. They just differ in size and functionality but have the same working procedures.
However, heavy duty industrial pressure vessels are very complex processing structures. They may weigh hundreds of tons and are connected to a variety of pipelines, other pressure vessels and boilers. AICIP pressure vessel inspector in Melbourne can help you to detect faults in such intricate heavy machineries.

Now, what is AICIP?

AICIP is a non profit organisation in the field of Australian Institute for the Certification of Inspection Personnel. It is a body which certifies NDT inspectors so that they can have the appropriate authorisation to conduct the inspection job. It is incorporated with the Department of Fair Trading (a NSW Consumer Protection Agency) under the Associations Incorporation Act 1984. It has Australian Registered Body status with the Australian Securities Commission.

Manufacturing Pressure Vessels to comply with standards

At the manufacturing phase, it is essential that an experienced pressure vessel designer produces a suitable design. The manufactured vessel must then be inspected through an inspector to determine correct fabrication and welding. For the production purpose, the vessel inspector figures out the manufacturing and load taking capability of the vessel.
The qualified AICIP inspector verifies the entire process as per the Australian standards. It is the inspector’s responsibility to determine future faults of a welding or the material itself. This is why it is recommended to hire an inspection team to work as per the legal requirements and caring for your employees.
For designing and inspecting the volume and pressure, the processes and types of product under pressure are all considered to determine hazard level of the pressure vessel.

Pressure vessel inspection is a crucial part of an industry dealing with heavy duty machineries. If you haven’t made such a consideration yet, call an AICIP certified inspector right away to carry on your business safely.
