Pressure Vessel Testing

Pressure vessel testing ensures the structural integrity of vessels by applying pressure (liquid or gas) to detect defects, leaks, or weaknesses before operational use.

Testing Methods:

  • Visual Inspection: Checks for visible defects, corrosion, or damage.
  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Uses ultrasonic, magnetic particle, or radiographic techniques to identify internal flaws.
  • Hydrostatic Testing: Pressurizes the vessel with water to check for leaks.
  • Pneumatic Testing: Uses compressed air or gas (higher risk, requires safety precautions).

Compliance & Safety:

  • Follows industry standards like ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Section VIII).
  • Regular testing is critical for ongoing safety and reliability.
