Checks on Pressure Equipment

Pressure equipment must meet specific requirements

In pharmaceutical, food and chemical plants safety is guaranteed by careful periodic checks of machinery and equipment.

In particular, much attention is paid to all pressure vessels, as they are subject to operating conditions very critical.

The checks on pressure vessels must be conducted by qualified employees, who can assess the conditions of pressure vessels and determine whether or not the equipment can remain part of the production cycle or whether they should instead be reclassified by revamping.

Durante le verifiche sugli apparecchi a pressione le attrezzature vengono sottoposte a test per saggiare la loro capacità di sopportare le pressioni previste dal ciclo produttivo alimentare, chimico o farmaceutico in cui operano.

Each pressure vessel is subjected to:

-a hydraulic test,

-penetrant liquid inspection;

-thickness measurement test,

-a thorough visual and dimensional inspection.

Monitoring the condition of the systems is absolutely essential: a non-compliant pressure vessel can cause serious accidents and very long production downtimes with significant economic costs.
