Material Selection and Inspection
  • Material Certification: Ensuring raw materials comply with standards like ASME, EN, or ISO.
  • Mechanical Testing: Testing materials for tensile strength, hardness, and impact resistance.
  • Surface Inspection: Checking for defects such as cracks, voids, or inclusions in raw materials.
Dimensional Inspection
  • Tolerances and Alignment: Verifying dimensions against design drawings using calipers, gauges, and laser measuring tools.
  • Roundness and Thickness Checks: Ensuring the vessel meets specified thicknesses and geometric tolerances in the design.
Welding
  • Welder Qualification: Ensuring welders are certified to perform specific welding processes.
  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) : Radiographic, Ultrasonic, Magnetic Particle, Dye Penetrant Testing
  • Visual Inspection: Examining welds for surface defects, proper alignment, and cleanliness.
Documentation and Certification
  • Inspection Reports: Maintaining records of all inspections and tests performed.
  • Third-Party Verification: Engaging  inspectors to ensure compliance with codes and standards.
  • Compliance Certification: Issuing certificates of compliance after passing all inspections and tests.
Hydrostatic and Pneumatic Testing
  • Hydrostatic Testing: Filling the vessel with water and pressurizing it to check for leaks and structural integrity.
  • Pneumatic Testing: Using air or gas under pressure (with strict safety protocols) to test for leaks in applications where water cannot be used.
Coating and Corrosion Protection
  • Surface Coating Inspection: Ensuring the application of paint, epoxy, or other protective coatings is uniform and adherent.
  • Adhesion Testing: Verifying coating strength using pull-off tests or similar methods.
