Third Party Inspection for Pressure Vessel –

-
Definition- A  pressure vessel  is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a  pressure  substantially different from the ambient  pressure . Design involves parameters such as maximum safe operating pressure  and temperature, safety factor,corrosion allowance and minimum design temperature (for brittle fracture). Reference Documents and Codes- Design code Purchase order specification Purchaser's standards Approved drawings ASME SEC VIII Div 1 or 2 ASME V ASME IX Note- ASME SEC VIII Div 1 for (15-3000) psi ASME SEC VIII Div 2  for (3000-10000) psi ASME SEC VIII Div 3  for more than 10000 psi 1. Division 1  is based on normal stress theory, 2. Division 2  is based on maximum distortion energy (Von Mises). Inspection Activities from start to finish- Material Inspection Fabrication Preparation for Welding Fit-Up Inspection Monitoring of Weld Conditions Back Gouging Inspection Visu...

Radiography Inspection- Paragraph-136.4.5 When required by this Chapter (see Table 136.4), radiographic examination shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of Section V, Article 2, of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, except that the requirements of T-274 are to be used as a guide but not for the rejection of radiographs unless the geometrical unsharpness exceeds 0.07 in.  (2.0 mm). (A) Acceptance Standards.            Welds that are shown by radiography to have any of the following types of discontinuities are  unacceptable: (A.1) any type of crack or zone of incomplete fusion or penetration (A.2) any other elongated indication that has a length greater than (A.2.1) 1 ⁄ 4 in. (6.0 mm) for t up to 3 ⁄ 4 in. (19.0 mm), Inclusive (A.2.2) 1 ⁄ 3 t for t from 3 ⁄ 4 in. (19.0 mm) to 2 1 ⁄ 4 in. (57.0 mm), inclusive (A.2.3) 3 ⁄ 4 in. (19.0 mm) for t over 2 1 ⁄ 4 in.
