Vessel and boiler inspection is a type of inspection that is performed to evaluate the condition and performance of pressure vessels and boilers. Pressure vessels are containers, such as tanks or pipes, that are designed to hold liquids or gases at high pressures. Boilers are heat exchangers that are used to generate steam or hot water for industrial or residential applications.
Vessel and boiler inspection is typically performed by trained and certified personnel, using specialized equipment and techniques, such as visual inspection, ultrasonic testing, or radiography. The purpose of vessel and boiler inspection is to identify and evaluate any defects or inconsistencies that may affect the safety, performance, or integrity of the vessels or boilers being inspected.
Vessel and boiler inspection is typically required by law, and is often governed by specific standards and regulations, such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Vessel and boiler inspection is an important part of the maintenance and operation of pressure vessels and boilers, and can help to ensure their safe and reliable performance. Vessel and boiler inspection can also help to prevent accidents, injuries, and property damage, and to reduce legal and financial liabilities.
