NBIC

The National Commissioning Inspection Code (NBIC) requires pressure vessels to be check at 1/2 of the remaining life of the tank, or every 10 years, whichever is less.

Pressure tank

A pressure vessel is a vessel that holds a liquid or gas at a pressure significantly different from atmospheric pressure. Pressure vessels can be found in industrial facilities around the world. The main applications of pressure vessels include boilers, engine cylinders and chemical or petroleum products storage tanks.

While pressure vessels are extremely useful and will likely continue to be widely used in the future, they can cause many problems. The difference between the pressure inside the pressure vessel and the pressure outside causes potentially dangerous situations. Pressure accumulators have long been considered dangerous and have caused accidents that have resulted in loss of life and property. Therefore, the construction and use of pressure vessels is regulated by technical agencies, and these agencies are supported by government legislation.

These standards also specify the need for testing and include instructions on the procedure for testing pressure vessels. Inspection of pressure vessels is both a requirement and a guide for anyone looking to avoid accidents that can lead to unplanned downtime, damaged equipment, and worker injury.

Classification of pressure tanks

Pressure vessels are designed differently based on their end application, although they all tend to look similar and consist of the same basic components. Pressure vessels are usually round or spherical in shape. That's because these shapes help avoid concentrated stress.

Common accessory sections include pressure gauges, fusion plugs, and differential pressure switches, which make the compressor operate when pressure drops and shut down when pressure is at maximum. Most pressure vessels are also designed with technical access holes, ventilation holes or viewing holes to facilitate cleaning and inspection.

In addition to the shape, the pressure vessels also perform different functions. The basic way to classify pressure vessels is to divide them into two categories – fire exposed and non-flame, or non-heated. A good example of a fire-contact pressure vessel would be a boiler. Non-flame pressure vessels must not be connected to any steam generator or to anything with an open flame.

We can divide accumulators into several different categories. Although there are some exceptions, the most common pressure vessels fall into three categories: reservoir, heat exchanger, and process vessel.

Standards in pressure tank manufacturing

  • Standard for Construction of Pressure vessel
  • ASME BPVC Section VIII- Division 1 (Part UG)
  • Materials Selection – Section II (Part A – Ferrous, Part B- Non Ferrous, Part D- Properties)
  • Welding Materials Selection– Section II (Part C)
  • Material Thickness, of Shell & tube are calculated based on the Design
  • Pressure, Design Temperature, Radius of Shell & the Weld Joint Efficiency,
  • Weld Joint Efficiency – Selection (as per ASME Sec VII, Div 1, Table UW-12)

Check pressure tank

Non-destructive testing of boilers and pressure vessels is a test of the integrity of equipment and is usually approved by OSHA, API, ASME or in Vietnam, the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (National Standard). (originally issued under Decision No. 64/2008/QD-BLDTBXH dated November 27, 2008) and other regulatory authorities required to ensure safe and reliable equipment. Pressure vessel owners are required to develop, document, and implement an inspection/repair plan that outlines procedures to meet required standards. Such plans usually require the tester to perform periodic inspections, provide test results, documented failures/defects.

There are two standards that every pressure vessel manufacturer and user must keep in mind:

  1. ASME Section VIII: requirements for fired and unheated pressure vessels, including design, manufacture, inspection and testing, and requirements for pressure vessels to be certified.
  2. API 510: is the American Petroleum Institute's pressure tank test code. This standard specifies how to carry out inspection, repair, alteration and other operations for pressure vessels and pressure reducing devices.

The National Commissions Inspection Code (NBIC) requires pressure vessels to be tested at 1/2 of the remaining vessel life, or 10 years, whichever is less. Whenever the remaining life is less than 4 years, the inspection interval will be established by the tester based on the condition of the equipment and the rate of corrosion assessed against the periodic test data.

The NDT solutions offered by VISCO provide comprehensive inspection of process equipment and tanks as well as providing industry-formatted information for taking preventive measures, failure status, life assessment and corrosion assessment.

  • External check: Visually every 5 years or earlier.
  • Internal assessments, online measurements and thickness gauges.
  • Pressure relief devices shall be inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with API 576
  • Unless the experience is documented and/or RBI . rating indicates that a longer time period is acceptable
  • Test and inspection intervals for pressure relief equipment in typical process services shall not exceed:
    • 5 years for general services, and
    • 10 years for clean (non-fouling) and non-corrosive services.

NDT inspection of pressure tanks

The owner of the pressure vessel has an obligation to ensure its safe use. This requires effective inspection and maintenance programs. The owner is responsible for developing, documenting, implementing, implementing and evaluating pressure vessel testing systems and test procedures to meet relevant requirements. These systems and procedures typically include:

  • Organization and reporting structure of the inspection
  • Documentation and procedures for maintaining testing and quality assurance procedures
  • Documentation and report of test results
  • Corrective actions for inspection and test results
  • Internal audit of compliance with quality assurance inspection manual
  • Review and approve drawings, design calculations and specifications for repairs and alterations.

On-site visual inspections and use of RVI as well as non-destructive testing (NDT) to certify compliance and service suitability of pressure structures. The diverse and customer-centric solutions offered by VISCO are used to detect structural flaws in plant equipment, providing owners and operators with essential data for efficient and safe operation.

Inspection of pressure equipment includes inspecting the body and top of the tank, critical parts or areas for possible corrosion. Visual inspection is generally accepted but often requires equipment to be shut down and affects productivity. Visual inspection is also used to determine the condition of the outer insulation, the allowable expansion range and the position of the pressure devices on the support. Any signs of leakage should be investigated to determine the source of the problem.

Ultrasonic thickness measurement

Ultrasonic corrosion thickness test use devices such as 38DLP nice EPOCH 650 with the ability to save data in 1D or 2D grid format to determine the internal condition and remaining thickness of the tank and tank walls. Thickness measurements are collected in grid data while the pressure device is in operation or at shutdown by an inspector with expertise in ultrasonic testing. With advances in technology and data processing and reporting capabilities, more and more equipment capable of capturing thickness data as the scan head moves across the test surface is being used more and more. Test results can be viewed in the field or stored for later analysis.

Kiểm tra siêu âm Phased Array

Corrosion Mapping

Ultrasonic Corrosion Mapping is the commonly used method while inspecting pressure vessels. Ultrasonic Erosion Mapping provides owners with detailed C-Scan images of the inspected surface using position coded semi-automatic scanners. ChainSCANNER or MapSCANNER in combination with corrosion inspection Phased Array probes offer high-speed ultrasonic mapping options for circumferential scanning.

Instruments such as MapROVER or SteerROVER are designed to map the corrosion of difficult-to-reach areas using semi-automatic scanners. In addition, the DLA probe used as a standalone manual solution offers good surface resolution and is usable at high temperatures.

The complete dedicated scanners solve the problem of corrosion mapping for small pipes and tubes with many elbow bends that can be solved with the FlexoFORM scanner and the flexible PAUT probe.

Simply connect the probe/scanner to a Phased Array device such as the OmniScan SX or OmniScan X3 to create a semi-automatic phased array erosion mapping system with built-in data collection capabilities.
